Hal-Have you heard anything about a newly published or soon to be published book on Greene County? Is there a section on the Hooker family? I cringe to think of what may be included., perhaps the incorrect tombstone or something else? In response to your earlier letter, --- --In Malcolm Hooker's book, which is in the NCSL, he stated that his papers, including his copy of the l939 Brainard Hooker work would be placed in the Tennessee State Library. Malcolm died in Jan. l98l, according to his wife, whom I telephone called on March 7, l989. She wasn't too clear on what had happened to his papers. In late l990, I visited the Tennessee State Library in Nashville but was unable to locate any extensive collection of his. --I will be happy to send you the l938 Brainard Hooker letter. Please let me know your mailing address. I received the copy only recently from Harvey Hooker of Houston, TX. --I also have the Holloman genealogical report, which I also received from Harvey Hooker. I think it is pretty well done. This is where I saw the reference to the James Hooker estate, although I am sure I have seen the same reference somewhere else a few years back. One error I did notice in Holloman's work. He incorrectly identifies Stephen, son of Wm. II, as having a son named Francis. I think the Stephen who had a son named Francis was Stephen son of John and grandson of William II. --I have one letter from Robert H. Swain, dated Oct. l0, l986. His address was 65l0 Paleface Place, Charlotte, NC 28214. He did not provide any documentation as to the marriage of James Hooker and Zilpha Spruill. However, I have seen the same reference in Percy H. Hooker's work. I'll also send you a copy of Percy's chart if you would like it. --I am not aware of the name Virginia being used by the early Hookers. Kyle
