Hal, Thanks for the info. Keep me posted on what you find on this line. I come from the Hookers of Craven and Beaufort County. They came out of Tyrrell County about 1857. I am either descended from Sheriff John Hooker or his brother Stephen Hooker, sons of William II. About 1870 (not sure of the year) a Dr. Rosco Hooker from Greene County moved to Aurora,NC in Beaufort County. His family later married into one of my other lines. I want to research as many Hookers as I can that come from Eastern North Carolina. Jane
