> I'm fairly certain that James B. Hooper's father was William A. Hooper who was married to a Hollis. William Hooper died 1827 Montgomery Co., TN, and I also believe was married to Sarah "Sally" Hollis, who died after 1825, and may be the one found in the 1830 census? I think there's a will for him at the Montgomery Co Archives, but I have not looked at it in a few years. Didn't notice that he had a middle initial (?), but see following obit: William A. Hooper, born on 17 Aug 1841, died March 3, 1888, suddenly, near Bethel [Cumberland Presbyterian] Church, in the eastern part [Sango community] of the county [Montgomery]. Member of Sango Wheel, No. 1010 [some kind of agricultural club, I think]. Interment at Sango Cem.------Semi-Weekly Tobacco Leaf, 6 March 1888, and 27 March 1888. His tombstone reads, W. A. Hooper, Aug 17, 1841--March 3, 1888. Tommy Hooper, born on 8 Dec 18(8?)6, died 10 Feb 1892, in the Sango neighborhood. Son of W. A. and Mrs. Carie E. Hooper. Interment at Sango, TN.------Daily Tobacco Leaf Chronicle, 11 Feb 1892. His tombstone reads, Tommie B. Hooper, Dec 8, 1886--Feb 10, 1892, "son of W. A. and Carrie E. Hooper". Then, there's this marriage bond: W. A. Hooper to Virginia B. Bagwell, married March 1, 1866 Montgomery Co., TN; [so if this is the same W.A., he had at least two wives?] Her tombstone, adjacent to W. A. and Tommie B., reads, Virginia B. Hooper, Oct 20, 1844--(death date broken), "wife of W. A. Hooper". Then, adjacent to the above is: Carrie E. Swift, Aug 16, 1857--Sept 4, 1894, "wife of W. A. Hooper". > > > There is a James Hooper in the 1850 census for Montgomery county. > HOOPER, JAMES Database: TN 1850 Federal Census Index Is this James Hooper, 38, b. TN, farmer, with Eliza, 30, b.
