According to the LDS site there is no "recontructed census" or "book" on these yrs - it is microfilm - they were "territorial" censuses of Middle TN taken in 1770-1790 - usually the reconstructed censuses are for 1810 and 1890. I have the 1810 reconstructed TN census - and I know there are no Hookers in those counties then, but there is the one Hooker in Willaimson Co.,TN in 1810 that I feel is ours (I think it is Wm listed in Williamson Co.,TN in 1810 - Thoams and Wm are listed - one or the other between 1801 and 1813 in Williamson Co.,TN which was made out of Davidson Co.,TN c 1799. Darrell has told me several times he feels that the Thoams and Wm who moved from TN to AL c 1818 (to live bside George and Samuel in Farnklin Co.,AL by 1820 on the census) were brothers of the other ones - there is just too much eveidence that they are and they had to be somewhere prior to 1801!!! Darrell has told me that it makes sense that George Sam and Robert moved directly north from Middle TN c 1806/07 into KY where they are lsited on tax records from 1807-1816 (with Sam not listed in KY between 1898-1812). Maybe he mis-read 1790 as 1890. I know there are reconstructed censuses for the lost censuses of 1810 and 1890 - wonder why he did not write me about "pulling a book" as I was the one who asked him to look at "microfilm" on 1770-1790 for the territorial census takend then before TN was a state!!!!!!!!!

The Handy Book for Genealogists Eighth Edition, 232. "No state or territorial censuses were taken by Tennessee, however there was an 1897 census for Memphis." Eakle & Cerny, The Source, 118. "No state censuses." Schweitzer, Tennessee Genealogical Research, 66-67. "Territorial papers During the years when the TN country was a U.S. Territory (1790-6), a considerable volume of federal records was kept. Many of these are collected in: U.S. Department of State, TERRITORIAL PAPERS OF THE U.S., Volume 4: TERRITORY SOUTH OF THE OH RIVER, U.S. Department of State, Washington, DC. These territorial papers contain numerous lists of territorial residents in the form of petitions and other official papers, particularly ones involved in the processes of a territory becoming a state. If you believe your ancestor to have been in TN 1790-6, you may find mention of him in this book."
