Greetings, I am looking for information on the ancestors of JANE HOOPER who married WILLIAM DAVIS in Blount Co., TN on 25 October 1832, at the Eusebia Presbyterian Church. Jane was born abt 1800--[possibly] in Iredell Co., NC, and possibly was the daughter of JAMES HOOPER and [Elvira/Caroline/Martha??]. Jane died 14 Aug 1875 in Knox Co., TN. William and Jane Davis had the following children: --JOHN HARVEY DAVIS [b: 31 July 1831, Blount Co., TN] --WILSON N. DAVIS [b: 27 Jun 1833, Blount Co., TN] --CAROLINE DAVIS [b: abt 1838, Blount Co., TN] --MARTHA A. DAVIS [b: 18 Nov 1839, Blount Co., TN] --WILLIAM FRANKLIN DAVIS [b: abt 1842, Blount Co., TN] --HIRAM DAVIS [b: abt 1845 in Blount Co., TN]. --ISABELLA ELMIRA DAVIS [b: 26 Sep 1847, Blount Co., TN] --GLASCO C. DAVIS [b: 1850, Blount Co., TN] --DANIEL T. DAVIS [b: 29 May 1853, Blount Co., TN] [See my web site page, URL listed below, for more information on the above Davis family.] The 1830 Blount Co., TN census shows: JAMES HOOPER SR. [b: 1770-1780] JAMES HOOPER JR. [b: 1800-1810] MOSES HOOPER [b: 1790-1800] There are no Hoopers in the 1810 and 1840 censuses of Blount Co.
