If anyone has ANY information on the women who married these men, I'd appreciate hearing. Thanks, Maureen P.S. I have "The Descendants of Thomas Hooker" book. It's pretty spotty on people from the mid-1800s on, but I can check the index for your ancestor if you give me a good date and location. I won't be very speedy, as I'm very busy at work, but I'm so delighted you're all on the list and that we can help one another learn about our (very interesting) family, that I'll get to it asap! >> Isearch-cgi 1.20.06 (File: 30) 99% Genealogies by the Library of Congress since 1986 Section III CS71.H782 1890 Hooker, Edward, 1822-1903.
