Hi Joy and Darlene. I just read several of your post about the Hookers. We have Hookers in our Brookshire/Brookshier family History. They are not in my particular branch though. But I do believe they are part of your Hooker line since they cover Tenn, North Carolina and Missouri. Or nearest I can remember they do. They were part of the Brookshire's/Brookshier's of Linn County Missouri. I myself am Livingston county/Daviess county Missouri Brookshier. I was born in Chillicothe. Our people (Brookshire/Brookshier) came out of Rowan county N. Carolina as did all of those that carry our surname through out the united States of America. So if your interested you might want to get on the Brookshire L mail list. Stan Brookshier, Sr.
