NC Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/McDowell?read=537 Surname: HOOPER ------------------------- My ggg grandfather was named William Hooper. He was born a slave in Cumberland County, NC. He was sold at the Market/Slave House in Fayetteville, NC. He was sold to a slave owner by the name of Hooper and was taken to Virginia. He got his freedom and moved to Lumberton(Robeson County)NC, Where he married a Adeline Hammond and had 8 children. He named one of his daughters Lula. She married a Minister by the name of Miles Jackson out of Sumter,SC. She taught school in that area until she retired. She died in Lumberton, NC, May, 1978. How is it that both William Hoopers named their daughters Lula? Is this a connection?
