Darrell pulled the book and there are no Hooker's in it. Here is what he wrote me: I just pulled the book and there are no Hookers listed in the three counties treated in the book: Davidson, Sumner and Tennessee. The author used a number of sources to compile this "census,' including deeds, court records and State papers; and many others. It is a reconstructed census, so to speak.

They had to be in TN by the late 1790s, probably, and it seems since Samuel married a Nolan and he and George and Robert moved directly N to KY that they were in Middle TN. All the Nolans in TN were living in/around Williamson CO.,TN in the early 1800s and Williamson Co., Tn was carved out of Davidson Co.,TN c 1799.
