In the past we have had long discussions about the Joseph Hookler line (from MA) - I guess before you came on the list. since there are books about the Rev. Thoomas line and the Joseph Hooker lines and many of them have their lines maped out I guess they tend to not need the list as much as the "southern" Hookers about whom less has been written, it seems. Have your brother's results "matched" any other Hooker results - they probably are all - both north and south lines - related back in Eng and those results show matches that go back to the 1500s and 1600s.
