Not that I know of; and I started to say ... ask Deanna Baumgardner. But she is on the [Hooper-L] ... and can be reached through that list. It is @rootsweb.com also. She grew up in Shelby County, TX and now lives in CA. But she has generated volumes of Hooper ancestors ... from Richard [1] ... through his son, Obediah, Sr; his son, Obediah, Jr; and his son, Richard [2] who was the father of John Jefferson Hooper, my grandfather's (Pawpaw; Francis Marion Hooper [2]) grandfather. Deanna has most of the siblings of all the above named men. And the Richard[1] is the only one that she and our daughter, Sissy (Faye, to some folks) cannot find. If it were not for a phone call, late one Sunday night ... almost 6 years ago ... from Deanna ... I would have never known about Shelby County nor Bell County. Am reading all the emails; just not responding unless it interests me. Am preparing a CD for Bell County Museum on North Main Street ... about Pawpaw. My cousin, 'Bobby' was Francis Marion Hooper, Jr. [4] (the fourth in an unbroken line of FMH) I often see your name on notes. Someone said something about the Bell County History book going to a library. >>>If you think that place would like a CD, just let me know where to mail it.<<< Merci for your interest ... and help. DIEU TE BENISSE!!! GOD BLESS!!! Macile
