Oh, no! sorry if I led you to believe that. What I meant was that in my continuing search to help you find Stephen, I found another line claiming relation to Rev. Thomas. And though you had already figured this out, I did find the children of Samuel Porus, and there is no Stephen. You can officially rule him out. I hope the Hooker researchers are following this, because we are coming up with some good sourced Hooker info, even though not what you are looking for! This is from one of the books you undoubtedly have: "The descendants of Rev.

Thos Hooker only lived in Poultney/Hampton areas?

Carol, May I post this to the HOOKER list. Many there believe there is no record of Samuel's second family of children. This is wonderful news for many who have been looking. But now I know I was correct. But whoever put that S.P. Hooker as my Stephen G.Hooker's father in the LDS record was definitely wrong. I have NO books on any Hooker info at all. The only book I own is the Huntington Lathrop family lineage book as my husband is a Lathrop. He is directly descended from Rev. John Lothrop/Lathrop of Barnstable, MA. Interesting sidebar. Rev. Thos Hooker came to America on the Griffin. One year later, Rev. John Lathrop came to America...on the Griffin.
