There is a book written about the Joseph Hooker descendants who went from MA/New Eng. to NY to IL and IN/OH then on to Oregon, I think, rather than WA. You should be able to find that book or its title by going to a library and asking how to get info on "books in print" or Library of Congress lists of books. It has something about "Man" in the title - like What a man has to do or One Man's Life - I just cannot remember exactly. It was said that Joseph Hoolker wwas also related to the of Rev Thomas Hooker back in Eng. I am sure that many of Rev Thomas Hooker's descendants spread out all over the New Eng area - I know many of htem went ot NY state as well. So your brother's surname is Hooker? - you said the "last" remaining male Hooker was your 2nd cousin - did I understand that? (or did you mean "oldest" remaining?) - as your brother also a Hooker.
