Hal, I have seen the name Raymond Hooker and have ask around but no one I have talked to knwos how I could get in touch with him. He may not even be living. I will continue to try to find someone that can tell me something about the man. I have seen the work on the Hookers at Heritage place. I'm sure that you discovered jast as I did that some of the information is wrong. I assume that the original of Samuel's will is in the state acheives in Raleigh. If you live in the Kinston area lets have a Hooker conference at Heritage Place. Jane Phillips
