Joyce- your JAMES HOOKER son of WILLIAM II and brother of WILLIAM III appears to be the JAMES I referered to in my post earlier today. I believe he is the father of SAMUEL C HOOKER( ca 1750-1822 Greene Co. NC ) and not STEPHEN as has been reported by others. I do not know for sure, do you have documentation that STEPHEN is SAMUEL'S father? I certainly would welcome it. Which HOOKER do you decend from, perhaps we can help each other. Every bit helps. thanks cuz, Hal Jordan
