Nadine, I think we might have a match. I can't tell for sure about your two Margarets from the way you presented your information, but is it possible you have two entries for the same Margaret? My information, which is secondhand, indicates that Margaret married Issac Lewis. Your suggestion of a will is interesting. Does it identify any grandchildren by name? Where did William die? Was it in VA or NC. I appreciate your offer to share information and resources, and would very much like to do that. I do not presently have much on the Hookers, but can provide a little information about the Lewis family if that is of interest. Perhaps we can discuss this off-list?
