Joyce, The only information I have on James is b.1820 Tenn. that came from the 1850 Census Knox Co. Ky. On that census he is listed as living next to Solomon Miller age 70 and Catherine Miller age 67 both b.N.C. and I assume they are the parents of Barbara A Miller his wife m.3 Feb 1848 Knox Co.Ky. James Hooker next appears on the 1870 Census Jackson Co, Ind. with 5 children born in Ky. and the youngest age 5 born in Indiana. If you have anyone that may connect to this would love to hear from you I have been stuck with James for some time now. Thanks Nora
