In Sir John Berry's Newfoundlad 1675 census - obviously not a very legible document - Jonathan Hooper is Jonathan Hop. In 1678 the name is very clear. To confirm the name: a 1698 deposition exists in E 134/10Wm3/Trin13/ Exchequer: King's Remembrancer: Depositions taken by Commission wherein Jonathan Hooper v Samuel Lupton for non delivery of salt. Modern day readers will think this a minor offense but salt was a requirement to the cure the dry cod. In other words: this could ruin ones entire year's income. Lupton seems to have been a London merchant mariner. With Devon mentioned in the deposition, I am certain Jonathan Hooper was from Devon. In 1675 & 1678 he was alone in Newfoundland without a wife or children. I have a reference only to the deposition, not the actual document. xxxxxx
