Emsley Hooker, Sr. re-married to Sarah Ann (Madden) Beck 28 Nov 1841 Clark Co IN. Emsley and Sarah were parents of seven. Lorenzo Dow Hooker was my gr grandfather, through his daughter Mary Elizabeth (Hooker) Lawson b. 12 March 1869 in Jackson Co. IN, third of the eleven children of Lorenzo Dow and Charlotte Jane (Murphy) Hooker. Much of my history of the Emsley Hooker family is from Mary E. who died 9 May, 1943 just weeks after I left for Army service in WW II. I have assembled family history for decades and have visited many states and communicated with Hooker (and other)descendants. Will share. Eldon E. Lawson.
