I wondered about the date of that city census as we were looking for/asking for info from the 1700s (not 1800s), and, of course, there was a whole state-wide Federal census in 1880 for TN (all yrs but 1800, 1810 and 1890, in fact)- it is just the early federal censuses that are missing, and it is the early censuses that we need. Our guys were out of TN by 1818 (3 of the 6, George, Samuel and Robert were out of TN by 1807 - though Sam might have come back to TN from 1808-1812). Darrell Hooker has told me that he would look up anything I asked for in the LDS library as he is there almost every day, but as he is a professional researcher he does his pd. customers first - he wants this info, too, as he is in my line of the 6 Hooker brothers (and a 6th cousin of mine) thatwe have been discussing on the lsit over the past several months. Since I am living on limited funds I cannot afford the $5.00 plus for each film when he can look for free - these censuses could be on several different micro-films at over $5 a piece. I did not ask anyone else to look this up for me, just Darrell, which he will do as soon as he has time; he recently told me he had not gotten to it yet. I did not ask for others to look it up; I only mentioned in passing that those 3 censuses on micro-film existed (probably at the TN Archives, as well as in SLC at the LDS library where Darrell works), and we might find something out when he has time to look!! It was just an aside that maybe those microfilms might provide some info for our line of the 6 brothers (most b in NC from 1770s-80s).

Just received insight from posting on the Kent family forum that Michael Hooker (1850 in Franklin Co.,AL) was probably Mecar/Michal Kentmarried to Seth Hooker in the 1820s in Lawrence Co., AL. She seems to have been widowed by 1850; Seth has never been found after the 1840 census in Franklin CO.,AL. The original census has not been viewed by me lately so I cannot state for sure if the gender might have been unclear - or maybe the census taker went back later and wrote "male" based on the name - or if a neighbor gave the names, as often happended, and the census taker thought "Michal" was a male?? Another Hooker researcher found a notation on Seth marrying "Mecar" Kent - so I posted on the Kent forum and found that Mecar was Michael/Michal; a female name from the Bible (David's wife). Mecar/Michal Kent was b VA at the same time as the Michael in 1850 in Franklin CO.,AL wa,s and so that is probably that "Michael" - another mystery solved, hopefully - why the Michael in Franklin Co.,AL was b in VA not TN or AL like the others in that line in that generation - in that county - were!! The Kents were from VA nad Michal/Mecar's mother was Michal, as well - many of Mecar/Michal's Kent family were living right next to the Micheal listed in 1850 in Franklin CO.,AL. The names of the children also follow the names given to Hooker children of the line of the "6 Hooker brothers." Does anyone have info on those Hooker children - b in AL between 1820s and 40s??
