Joyce, I think there must be more Hooker lines up North than just Rev. Thomas and Joseph. As I think I told you before my Hooker line is very well documented to my gggrandfather Stephen G. Hooker of Chicago, IL. He moved there in the 1850s with his wife Helen Norton Hooker from NY where they were married. Stephen was born in VT. Now I "think" Stephen G. Hooker is the son of Stephen Hooker and Abigail Goss. This Stephen is the son of Daniel Hooker and Mary Gates. I think Daniel's father was Jacob Hooker. There are places that state that Daniel Hooker was born in Germany but that is not true. He was born in New England. So if we go by what you have stated, where does my line fit in? My brother did the Hooker DNA testing and we have his results. We are waiting for our second cousin, last remaining male Hooker, who is the ggrandson of Stephen G. Hooker. You said the Hookers from IL went to WA? Who were these Hookers? Can you give me a name of the first. I actually live now in WA state and could probably either rule them out for my line or see if they do fit in. Hope to figure this out. thanks, Linda Lathrop Jmw1431@aol.com wrote: The reason it's mostly southerners that query on the list is because the northern families are very well documented.

Wanted to tell you that it seems as if those Stokes Co., NC and Patrick Co., VA Hookers are all intertwined. The name "Esom" (from Charlotte's line) crops up on both side of the state border their in fmailies. I relally think this is our line also as the name George is big in the Patrick Co.,VA line - one George left Va and went into the Knox/Clay Co., KY area early on where Charlotte's line is later, and this George was there when her Esom (b c 1796 in VA) arrived there around 1850. Could be her Esom heard from this older relative who went there early on and decided to go to KY after his probable brother, John (b c 1797 in VA) left Washington Co.,TN for AL (and Esom went back to VA for a while then on to KY c 1850). It might be the reason that 3 of our Hooker brothers went to Ky from TN early on as well - hearing about Ky from relatives who went there or vice versa?? I also recently got some info on VA records and Patrick Co., appears not to have been a county whose records were destroyed. We were always told that many Va records were lost/destroyed, but the counties around Patrick were not listed as counties that lost/did not have early records????? In other word there are records for those counties in the VA archives and in the county courthouses. I guess we need soemone in VA to request these as there is an extra fee for out of state queries from the VA archives.

Is there a pedigree online anhywhere for Joseph Hooker's family? Does anyone know of one? Linda Lathrop The reason it's mostly southerners that query on the list is because the northern families are very well documented.
