Linda you can also contact the Hadley MA historical society as they have this line back very far. Joyce In a message dated 1/29/2008 1:27:47 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, adellaholly@yahoo.com writes: Thomas in MA/CT was a Rev.; there were some other Revs in the line, but the Joseph who came later than Rev Thomas and claimed to be distantly related to Rev Thomas was the Joseph in that book, as I have stated several times. The story about the indenture is in that book!! I thought I had written that info about him coming over under indenture before, but it is all in that book. The book follows the line that goes west to Oregon - do not know if it tells all Joseph's descendants, but I do know there is lots done on-line on "fighting" Joe (Joseph Hoooker) which is also that line, I believe. I did see something on the VT Hookers the other day - if I see that again I will note where I saw it. Thought you had found/discovered a lot on your line recently??
