I last posted my Hookers to the List in January of this year. I have no new information since that time, but I organized what I have a little better. I have not been able to find parents or siblings for John, or a maiden name for Mary. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Some of this information comes from an LDS file and is not proven. I have John Hooker born 15 Jul 1792 in TN, died 25 Feb 1879, Hopkins Co TX. He married Mary (maiden name unknown) born ca 1800 TN or NC, died after 1880 Hopkins Co TX. Marriage date and place are unknown. They had at least 10 children, per early census records. Their children: 1. unknown male born 1815-1820 (?MS) 2. unknown female born 1820 (?MS) 3. unknown female born 1820-1825 (?MS) 4. Elizabeth Ann born 1824 MS; died 1904 5. unknown female born1825-1830 MS 6. Mary Minerva born 1826 MS; died 1 MAR 1904 TX 7. E. Catherine born 1831 TN; 8. Lucretta (Lucretia) born 1833 TN 9. Robert born 1835 TN; died 12 DEC 1910 TX 10. Samuel born 1837 TN My gg > grandmother, Emersley (also found as Emereller and Emerilly) Catherine, married Roderick J. Wicker of Hardin Co TN ca 1850. Apparently the Hooker and Wicker families moved to Texas in two or more "waves" after the Civil War. Most were in Hopkins Co, and Robert Hooker, a > son of John and Mary, was in law enforcement there in 1880. Would love to hear from anyone with TN>TX Hookers. Cindy
