Trying to find my Hooker ancestor to continue line backwards. My father, James Russell Farrell, born in Los Angeles, CA My grand father, Preston Nash Hooker, born in Chicago, IL who changed his name in 1921 to James Preston Farrell and never was in contact with his family again. My ggrandfather, George Graves Hooker, Chicago, IL married to Nina Preston & 2nd wife Blanche. My gggrandfather, Stephen G. Hooker, Chicago IL, born in 1824, married to Helen Nash Norton. He died 1/1/1901 Stephen and Helen had many children of which the following grew to adulthood and had children: Alice G Hooker married Harry E. Wadsworth aka FW Wadsworth Chester W Hooker Edward C Hooker Nellie Hooker married Eric Ringborg and moved to Sweden George Graves Hooker, my ggrandfather I am trying to find my gggrandfather's father or parents. Census records state he was born in VT but his father in NY. We are waiting for his death cert from the state of IL and are hoping it will state who his parents were.
