MRS RUTH (sWETT) HOOPER
PREFACE
The senior compiler was led to take up the preparation of
this work by an inquiry as to whether the family had been
written up; and when he found so many interesting people
of the New England stocks, residing in various parts of the
Union, and no genealogy to memorialize the past and delight
the present and future Hoopers and children of Hooper mothers,
he undertook the work. More than twenty-five years' experience
in such research and authorship gave him preparation for the
undertaking. He had gone but little way, however, when he
found the junior compiler in possession of a very full and
workmanlike genealogy of the line of one of the pioneers,
William, of Reading; and the enterprise was very greatly
fonA'ardcd by this, as it enabled the searcher to assign the
records he had concerning people of that branch. Mr. Thomas
Hooper, moreover, generously placed what he had gathered
through years of labor and wide correspondence entirely at
Mr. Pope's disposal, and it is published as the First Part of
the book. The records of English Hoopers given at the
opening of Part Three and in the Appendix were gathered by
Mr. Pope in England. The other parts were then made up by
examination of the records at our State House and in many
towns, and by the replies received from many kind correspond-
ents over the land. That the book is imperfect goes without
saying ; fallible authors will make errors ; and correspondents
who give only part of the information asked or persons who
fail to reply cannot expect to find the records of their particu-
lar families perfect, although a compiler sometimes makes up
for such defects or errors by work in other channels.
But the book is a valuable one for every person of this name
and for all students of personal history of Americans ; that the
compilers do not hesitate to affirm. For its faults and mistakes
we ask indulgence in advance; for the honest effort to gather
and present facts of great interest we are sure there will be
growing appreciation.

THE READING FAMILY
This Part Compiled by Mr. Thomas Hooper, of Boston
THE HOOPER GENEALOGY
PART ONE: THE READING FAMILY
I. William Hooper, " aged i8 years," came in the ship
James from London, sailing July 13, 1635. He resided at Read-
ing in 1644, as town records show ; may have been there before.
He was admitted a freeman of the colony May 10, 1648, which
implied that he had previously joined the church; his wife
Elizabeth was also a member. It has been conjectured that
she was a sister of Captain Thomas Marshall, because William
Hooper called Captain Marshall "brother;" and they may
have been children of Thomas Marshall, Sen., of Lynn, 1638.
He resided in the part of old Reading which is now included
in Wakefield. He owned considerable land, and also carried
on the business of a weaver. He married a second wife, named
Ruth, of whose connections there is no intimation in the records.
In the company of Capt. Daniel Henchman, raised at Boston
from that town and the neighborhood for service in the conflict
with the Indians known as " King Philip's War," the name of
William Hooper appears in 1675, and in the company of Capt.
Wadsworth in 1676 ; as William Hooper, Senior, was about sixty
years old at that time, we cannot suppose he was that soldier,
but there is a probability that his son William was the person.
The town records show assignments of lands to him from
time to time, and the county records show transfers of lands by
him, one of them signed also by his wife Ruth in relinquish-
ment of her dower, Dec. 14, 1664.
Before finishing his rather brief life in this new world he
made his will, and we herewith present a copy of the docu-
ment. As he had experienced the change of focus which
threescore years usually bring, and as he had not, probably,
1
2v HOOPER GENEALOGY
suitable glasses, he was obliged to depend on some friend to
write the will, and he made his mark instead of writing his
name, as we do not doubt he had formerly done. He died
Dec. 5, 1678, " aged 61."

William Wardwell was placed with Corp. Samuel Fry
to learn the trade of weaver; Eliakim Wardwell was
put with Daniel Poor till his majority; Elizabeth (or

SECOND GENERATION
2. William ^^ {William^), horn at Reading, Nov. 3, 1658;
married Susanna [said to have been daughter of Daniel and
Elizabeth Shed, of Billerica, born Dec. 28, 1662.]
He paid a tax of ninepence toward the Indian fund in 1686;
gave two pounds, ten shillings tow^ard the erection of the new
meeting house in 1688; was taxed fifteen shiUings, six pence
for the minister's " rate " in 1692. Was selectman in 1685.
His home was at North Reading. He died Aug. 8, 1692. He
left an estate valued at ninety-two pounds and odd. John
Dutton of Billerica and John Hooper of Reading, carpenter,
gave bonds with the widow for her administration of his estate,
jointly with John Ballard. The widow sold her rights in the
estate to John Parker, Jr., Dec. 24, 1708. She married second,
Benjamin Dutton, of Reading (his second wife).
Children :
i. Susannah 3; being of age, she sold, Dec. 24, 1738, to John
Parker, her right in the estate of her late father. She
d. at Billerica between Sept. 22, and Oct. 17, 1738, the
dates of the signing and proving of her will. She be-
queathed to Susannah and Ruth, children of her sister
Ruth Boulton; to the children and heirs of her sister
Elizabeth Leonard; to Dea. Joseph Perham a black
coat, weed and gloves ; John Shed of Billerica, executor
and residuary legatee.
4. ii. William, b. June 13, 1687. Not mentioned in Susannah's
will.
iii. Elizabeth, b. July 8, 1689; m. at Bridgewater, Feb. 12,
1707, Enoch, son of John and Sarah (Chandler) Leonard.
She died before the date of her sister's will.
Children :
1. Enoch Leonard, b. Dec. 25, 1707.
2. Elizabeth Leonard, b. Sept. 17, 17 19.
THE READING FAMILY 7
iv, Ruth, b. March g, 1691; m. Jan. 25, 1710, John, son of
John and Sarah Bolton, b. at Dorchester, May 21, 1686,
d. at Bridgewater in June, 1755. He was an ensign;
left a silver tankard to the church. Ruth made her will
May 27 and it was proved July 28, 1755.
Children :
1. Susannah Bolton, b. Jan. 12, 171 1; m. Jabez
Cowing.
2. Ruth Bolton, b. June 6, 17 12; m. Ephraim
Leach.
3. Ehzabeth Bolton; b. Sept. 26, 17 14; m. Joseph
Thompson.
4. Hannah Bolton, b. Jan. 9, 1722.
5. Martha Bolton, b. 1725; m. Joab Willis.
3, Thomas^ (William^), born at Reading, April 2, 1668;
married Elizabeth, " only daughter and heires of John Rich-
ards, late of Boston, who was grandson and legatee of John
Reeves formerly of Salem."
He learned the trade of weaver and doubtless inherited the
" loomes and Tacklinge " which his father willed should go
to the son who chose that trade.
Residing at Medfield, " weaver," he and his wife Elizabeth
sold her share of her great-grandfather's estate for thirty-one
pounds, ten shillings, April 13, 1708. [Essex County Deeds.]
Examination of the records of the town church at Medfield
fail to show the mention of the name Hooper from the foun-
dation of the church in 165 1 till long after the possible lifetime
of this man. But the town records give the single item of a
child's birth. Examination of early records of adjacent towns
has yielded the names of two other persons whom we believe
from numerous evidences to have been other children of this
man.

4. John' (William^), born at Reading, July 5, 1670; married
(perhaps at Braintrcc) Sarah, daughter of John and Hannah
Harden, born at Braintree, Dec. 3, 1679. She survived him
and married second, Francis Woods. She died at Bridgewater,
May 19, 1749-
He was residing at Reading in 1692 when his brother Wilham
died, and was one of the bondsmen of his sister-in-law at the
settlement of the estate. He was a carpenter. John Hooper,
Sen., was one of the appraisers of the estate, so-called, we may
suppose, from a son John, then very young. He continued to
reside at Reading several years. March 23, 1695, he sold to
Thomas Damon, 8 J acres of land in Reading. May 23, 1705,
he bought of Benjamin Orcutt 65 acres of land in Bridgewater
for 65 pounds, bounded northerly and easterly by land of
Benjamin Hayward, easterly in part also by land of John Hay-
ward ; southerly by the town river, westerly by land of Daniel
Hudson. This was on the southerly slope of the Sprague Hill,
southeast of the water works, near Hayward Street. He built
a house there which was burned in 1708; at the fire he received
injuries from which he died Jan. 9, 1708-9.
By some means a tradition came to be believed by some of
the descendants of this John Hooper of Bridgewater that he
was a native of England and came here as a fugitive from
justice, having taken part in the rebellion of the Duke of Mon-
mouth. It is true that a John Hooper was among the Mon-
mouth prisoners, at Wells, Eng., Sept. 20, 1685, and that he,
with others, was awaiting transportation to Barbadoes. It is
also correct that a John Hooper arrived at Boston in the ship
John and Dorothy, June 30, 1712, from Barbadoes; but this
was seven years after John Hooper had bought land at Bridge-
water; and the fact of two daughters of William Hooper of
Reading coming to Bridgewater and making their home there
after the purchase of land there by John Hooper, and the
intimacy of the families, is a very strong evidence of the origin
of John Hooper as son of William of Reading. The tendency
of people during the last century to make wild fanciful guesses
at genealogical history and the discovery of the records we
have quoted by some friend of the Bridgewater Hoopers must
THE READING FAMILY 9
account for this wild and erring tradition. Mr. Thomas Hooper,
of Bridgewater, father of the writer, was so impressed with the
tradition as to incorporate it in the memorial he set up to his
ancestor; but abandoned that theory and became fully con-
vinced of the descent from William of Reading.

Sarah, widow of John Hooper of Bridgewater, was appointed
administrator of his estate June 23, 1709. On her son John's
coming of age an agreement was entered into between himself
on the one part and Francis Woods and Sarah Woods his wife,
mother to the said John, on the other part, by which she received
her third part, etc. He was appointed administrator, May
19, 1719. Francis Woods was surety on his bond together with
Elizabeth Bridgham. Francis Woods was made guardian of
the children Nathaniel, Sarah and James Hooper.

He became a " bloomer " or refiner of the bog iron ore
which was found in Walpole and other towns adjacent. Resided
at Walpole and afterwards at Stoughton. Sold land in Wren-
tham, his wife Mary joining in the deed, Dec. 31, 1735 ; bought
and sold lands at Walpole.
He died before Jan. 8, 1762, when Jonathan Billings was
appointed administrator of his estate. The inventory shows
a house with 100 acres of land, furniture, utensils, etc., and
" Iron oare & Coal." The account mentions expenses of
nursing himself and his wife, and the mention of " two graves "
indicates that both died at about the same time. Numerous
claims swamped the estate. Heirs are therefore not mentioned
in the papers.

56. Thomas 3 {Thomas,'' William^), horn about 1712; mar-
ried at a place and time of which we have no record, a wife
named Ann, of whose surname we have not been able to learn.
He resided at or near Mendon for some years ; but there is no
record of any office he held in the town or of any property which
he bought or sold.
Here nine children were born as the town records show;
the church record gives us the name of a tenth, whose birth
failed to get on the town record. It would appear that he
resided in that part of Mendon which fell within the bounds of
Milford when that precinct was set off, for it was the Milford
church to which Ann was received and baptized Aug. 7, 1757,
and where three children of " Thomas and Ann Hooper " —
Lydia, Jonathan and Ezekiel — were baptized May 11, 1760.
Thomas Hooper did gallant service in the Colonial Wars.
Thomas Hooper, of Mendon, enlisted Dec. 24, 1747, and
served till March i, 1748, in the company of which Lieut.
Elisha Hanley was acting captain, 11 weeks and 2 days, wages
amounting to 4 pounds, 8 shillings, 2 pence, rated as "centinel ;"
roll dated at Boston Oct. 31, 1748, endorsed " Company at
Fort Massachusetts." Also, " centinel " in the company of
Capt. Ephraim Williams, Jr., having entered service June
10, 1748, and served until Sept. 10, 1748; roll dated at Boston,
Nov. 2, 1748, time, 13 weeks, 2 days, wages £6; 12-10. [Mass.
Archives, vol. 92. pp. 90^ and 143.]
He lived on at Mendon, his home toils kept up through the
troublous times till after the next great war period.
Then came a great event in the life of the family. Mr. Henry
Evans, who seems to have resided at or near Sudbury, had been
appointed by the authorities of Nova Scotia to act as agent
for the town of Annapolis in that province. He formed a com-
pany of " Proprietors " who met at Framingham, April 6, 1760;
he chartered at Boston, May 5th, a schooner named " The
Charming Molly," Capt. Grow, and got together a company
THE READING FAMILY 13
of adventurous people from the towns near Framingham, who
sailed from Boston the 23d day of that same month of May,
1760. In that company sailed, as the journal of Mr. Evans
shows, " Thomas Hooper, wife, sons & 3 daughters." In a
census of the residents of Annapolis 8 years afterward the
number of persons in the family of Thomas Hooper is stated
at 7, " Americans," " 5 males and 2 females," which denotes
some changes in the composition of the family ; other sons had
come to Annapolis, it may be believed, either Thomas, David
or William, to make up the 5 in addition to the father and the
two youngest sons. For in 1792 Jonathan and Ezekiel Hooper
as well as the father Thomas were enrolled among tax-payers at
Annapolis. Then some change had taken place among the
women of the family, either death or marriage and entrance
into new homes had lessened the number first reported at the
time of the emigration. The loss of Annapolis records by fire
some years ago deprives us of the means of clearing up these
matters.
The census referred to above gives us the fact that Thomas
Hooper had something to help carry on a farm : " 4 oxen, 4
cows, I sheep, i hog " are mentioned. He and his sons culti-
vated the soil and made pleasant homes on the slopes of the
hills which lie to the North and South of Annapolis harbor.
We have no account of the death of either Thomas or Ann.

until May 24, 1758, 50 days, in the company of Capt.
Nathan Tyler, Col. Williams' regiment, specified as
" of Mendon; " also, of same place, " son of Thomas
Hooper," " 18 years " of age, he enlisted in Col. Williams'
regiment March 26, 1759, his former service being
referred to, and served to Dec. 3, 1759, in the Crown
Point Expedition, service rendered in part in the com-
pany of John Fumess in Col, Ruggles' regiment.

Colt's company in Col. Resseler's detachment of militia from
Berkshire County for the service of the United States of America,
July 29, 1777.
He was a man of strong family feeling ; wrote many excellent
letters to his brother Thomas which are on file ; they are from
Killingworth, Conn., in 1762, and from West Stockbridge
afterward. They describe the hard times of those days and
show a brave struggle against the difficulties of a frontier
settlement. After repeated plans and disappointments about
revisiting his old home he made a visit in 1775. He induced
some of his brethren and others to come to the " new West "
of that day, where there was a good deal of comfort and advance-
ment in log cabins and rough conditions. A good spirit of
patriotism and Christianity abounded.

PART TWO
THE MARBLEHEAD FAMILY
This Part Compiled by Charles Henry Pope
PART TWO: THE MARBLEHEAD FAMILY
I. Robert Hooper, of Marblehead, first appears in Massa-
chusetts records as master of a shallop hired of Mr. Moses
Maverick, a wealthy business man of the port, in the year
1663. A suit was brought in court by him to receive his rights
in an affair with a neighbor, Henry Russell, who was the actual
owner of the vessel. Testimony shows that when Captain
Hooper was removing his property from the craft, preparatory
to surrendering her to her owner, he was taking out a particular
sail when Russell forbade his doing it, claiming that the sail
was his. When the Captain persisted in taking what he regarded
as his own, Russell struck him. Instead of going to brute war,
Mr. Hooper quietly waited till Oct. 14, 1663, when the Court
took testimony and gave him his case.
Robert Hooper was member of a coroner's jury in 1665.
He had some responsibility for the wound of Abraham Allen's
hand ; we are not informed how the matter occurred, but the
case was carried into court and the decision was that Hooper
should pay "10 groats to the county, and pay for the healing
of Abraham Alin's hand and charges of the constable." Per-
haps it was an accident to the man while in Mr. Hooper's
service. The people of the colonies were like their old English
contemporaries in their horror of slander, and Robert Hooper
and his wife Elizabeth brought suit against a neighbor in 1677;
but they must have compromised the case as it was not brought
to trial. Even family life was not free from entanglements.
November first, 1680, the good man brought suit against
Edward Homan or Holman (both spellings being in vogue at
the time) about a fence. The files of Essex County Court in
this instance, also, reveal considerable of interest. Witnesses
91
92 HOOPEE GENEALOGY
testified that when Edward was courting the daughter of
Robert Hooper, the latter voluntarily promised the young
man that he would give him a plot of ground to set his house
upon, " if the match went forward." The marriage took place
and time passed away. But when the father wished to build
or rebuild a fence around his house adjoining that of the
Romans', and had men doing the work, the son-in-law forbade
and threatened to do dreadful things if they went any further,
because, as he claimed, they were trenching on his land. Fifteen
years' possession madet itle enough to cause Hooper to get a
deed of Homan's rights in the land on which the fence was to
be built, but the law compelled Homan to allow the fence to
be constructed where the father desired.
The name of this daughter comes to us in two deeds which
she signed with her husband and in that spouse's will ; strange
as it may appear, " Richard " is the way the scriveners wrote
it. Possibly the baptismal name was really the feminine form
" Richarda; " but the copies of deeds and the notary's spelling
in the will are plain " Richard."
1. Edward Holeman, cooper, and Richard his wife sold to Robert
Hooper, Dec. 30, 1680, their rights to the ground where Robert
Hooper's house stood.
2. Edward Homan, Sen., of Marblehead, cooper, and Richard his
wife deeded to their son John Homan, mariner, Oct. 28, 1704, certain
parts of the land and orchard where their house stood, etc.
3. Edward Homan made his will May 4, 1711, bequeathing to
his wife Richard and his sons Edward, John, Peter, PhiHp and
Joseph.
Robert Hooper, fisherman, of Marblehead, first appears
as a householder Dec. 26, 1663, when he bought of John Stacey,
Senior, and John Stacey, Junior, for eight pounds sterling, one
quarter of an acre of land in Marblehead. He bought another
tract of land, a quarter of an acre, with dwelling-house upon
it, of Christopher Lattamore, for thirty-three pounds, ten shil-
lings, Feb. I, 1663-4. He and his wife Elizabeth sold the first
named tract to William Browne Oct. 27, 1664, the consideration
not being expressed. He bought a narrow strip of land " adjoin-
THE MARBLEHEAD FAMILY 93
ing said Robert Hooper's house " for twenty shillings, Dec. 30,
1680. " Robert Hooper, planter " is the style of statement
when he buys Edward Holman's rights in the house in which
he (Hooper) was living about the same time. On the 23d day
of September, 1681, Robert Hooper sold the place purchased
of Lattamore to William Hewitt for thirty pounds, possession
to be given from the death of Robert and his wife Elizabeth.
Dec. 2, 1686, Hewitt sold the property to Richard Russell,
specifying that it was " now in said Hooper's occupation,"
and subject to the aforesaid condition. [Es. Deeds, 7, 613.]
He deposed in a case in court 22 (i), i668-g, giving his age
as about 62 years. This would place his birth in the year 1606
or thereabout, and make him old enough to have been the
father of John, Robert and Henry Hooper, the other very early
residents of Marblehead. He would have been old enough to
have been the merchant at Barbadoes mentioned in the business
documents of Mr. Chrispin Hooper of London and Boston;
but we have not any evidence whatever to connect the Marble-
head family with that of Barbadoes; the mere name of the
island merchant, " Mr. Robert Hooper," is no proof of identity.
In a list of " The Householders of Marblehead and Their
Priveledges of Commons," in the town records of Marblehead,
dated Oct. 7, 1674, " Robert Houper " is credited with rights
for the pasturage of " i cow." " December 4th, 1677, Moses
Mavericke by order of the select men and in their presence
delivered three pounds in silver unto Robert Houper of what
money had been received for the Townes account of land sold
by the said men." There is no further explanation of this
transaction. We notice in passing that Moses Maverick was
the owner of the vessel of which Francis Hooper was master a
few years before this time. [See Introduction to Part Three.]
By the courtesy of Mr. Henry E. Waite we here insert two
affidavits that relate to land at Peach's Point, Scott's Cove,
near which the Hoopers lived. The ages of the deponents
were roughly guessed, probably, for Robert's does not agree
with that given in a former deposition of his, according to which
he'would have been about the age here attributed to his wife, —
which seems probable.

THE MARBLEHEAD FAMILY 95
These few items are all we have yet found relative to this
man and his wife; no administration of his estate appears.
A single reference to him occurs in the probate papers of another
man's estate; he was one of the appraisers of the estate of
William Pitcher in 1676. He died after Dec. 2, 1686.
We have no list of his children ; but the presence at Marble-
head at that time of John Hooper, who lived next door to Robert,
and of Robert Hooper, Junior, a tax-payer before the close of
the life of the older Robert; the marriages of Robert, Jr., and
Henry Hooper so soon after, showing that they had been born
early enough to have been sons of the first-recorded couple
here, all form a chain of arguments of an inferential character
which make it a reasonable supposition that the three were
sons of Robert and Elizabeth ; and we shall so construct the
pedigree. To them we may properly add " Richard," wife of
Edward Holman.
Children (partial list) :
2. i. John,2 b. as he deposed, about 1641.
ii. Richard (daughter), b. about 1646; m., about 1665,
Edward Holman.
3. iii. Robert, b. about 1655.
4. iv. Henry, b. about 1665.
SECOND GENERATION
2. John'' (Robert^) born, as he deposed, about 1641 ;
married Christian . There is some reason to believe that
she was a daughter of Samuel and Ann Condy of Boston and
Salem, since Ann, in her will, Oct. 9, 1678, bequeathed
pewter platters to John and Christian Hooper and their
children, mentioning in particular Elizabeth and John;
John Hooper was one of the persons who made oath to the
will at Salem court, although not one of the witnesses,
which would point to his having some near relation to the
deceased. Christian was born, as she deposed, about 1645.
We have, for several reasons, concluded that John was a
son of Robert, Senior. To be sure the name Robert was not
given to either of his children of whom we know, or to theirs ;
96 HOOPER GENEALOGY
while it was a stock name in the famiUes of Robert, Jr., and
Henry. Possibly he had an older son named Robert. Further
investigations may show the facts.
" John Hooper of Marblchead " bought half an acre of land
there of Pcterncll Barloll for nine pounds, July 6, 1665; it
was located " on the hill formerly called Goites Hill, betwixt
the house of Robert Hooper on the southwest and the cove
called the Scots Cove towards the northeast, to the sea toward
the harbour, bounded by the path northwest." He sold to
Edward Holman for fifty shillings, May 7, 1685, one half the
ground on which the fishing stage they were jointly building
was standing, wdth all rights, his wife Christian joining in the
deed. He signed his name and made acknowledgment to the
deed May 31, 1687. If he was a son of Robert and a brother-
in-law of Holman this partnership would be very natural.
He was one of the citizens who signed a call for a town
meeting March 14, 1673. [Essex Court Files.] His name
stood under that of " Robert Houper " and spelled the same
way, in the list of persons owning rights to pasture cattle on
the Common Oct. 7, 1674, and like Robert, he was credited
with " I cow." " John Houper " was a member of a committee
chosen ^larch 20, 1676, "to look after the stint of cattle upon
the Common," i. e. to determine whose cattle and how many
should be pastured there. He was one of the appraisers of
the estate of Francis Chappell, 4 Oct. 1686.
The wife Christian was a member of the church, and in her
name seven of the children were baptized Aug. 23, 1685.
John Hooper died before Dec. 12, 1709, when the widow
Christian was appointed administratrix of his estate. The
inventory showed carpenter's tools; half of a "stage, flake
yard and warehouse " for the fishing business; dwelling-house
and land adjacent, etc. Dec. 28, 17 10, the widow presented
her account. Division of the property w^as made July i, 17 13,
to " John Hooper, the eldest son, a double portion; " to sons
William and Joseph Hooper and the representatives of deceased
son Samuel; and to daughters Elizabeth Haynes, Christian
Meek and Deliverance Grose. Benjamin was not mentioned
and may have died before that time, lea\ing no heirs.
THE MAKBLEHEAD FAMILY 97
Feb. 7, 1718-19, Joseph Hooper, fisherman, EUzabeth Haynes
and Christian Meek, widows, quitclaimed all their rights in
the estate to their brother John Hooper's son, John Hooper.

3. Robert^ (Robert^) born as early as 1655, we suppose;
married Dec. 4, 1684, Anna, daughter of Peter and Hannah
Greenfield. Hannah was a daughter of John and Ann
Devereux.
Peter Greenfield died shortly before Nov. 29, 1679, when his
widow Hannah administered on his estate. The inventory
shows that he owned a house and land, " a boat and all things
belonging unto her; " furniture, a " muskett; " " y^ half of 4,
mars & y^ half of one sucking colt ;" some " estat in JohnRhoads
hands," etc.; total valuation, ;^i43- 16-02. Hannah married
second Dr. Richard Knott and third Joseph Swett,* all of which
is shown in deeds of land she made to Eleanor (Knott) Martin
and Margaret (Greenfield) Henly. Dr. Knott died in June,
1684, and mention was made in probate papers of the portions
of Anna, Margaret and Hannah Greenfield, due them, ;)^6o in
all.
Among persons whose taxes had not been collected up to
March 14, 1680, we find the name of " Robert Hooper Jun :
not to bee found ; " which shows that he had been a rate-payer
but was then absent from town, perhaps on a voyage. He
was married in Marblehead, and so residing there, in 1684.
* This was Joseph Swett, Sen., grandfather of Ruth Swett, second wife of
" King " Robert Hooper.
98 HOOPER GENEALOGY
Robert Hooper, Marblchcarl, innkeeper, was one of those
reported in Essex County in a paper on file in Mass. Archives,
128, 50.
While there is no Hst extant, giving his children, we may
reasonably place one who bore the father's name and one who
bore the surname of the mother for a Christian name, as children
of this couple. Quite likely there were others, but no probate
papers or other evidences are extant. It seems probable that
the father died about 1689, and that his widow was the "Ann
Hooper " who married William Poat, Sen., Aug. 7, 1689.

10. i. Robert.3

4. Henry ^ (Robert^), born as early as 1665, we believe;
married at Marblehead, March 15, 1691-2, Mary Norman,
widow of Joseph Norman ; she was married to the first husband
as " Mary Collins " Jan. 24, 1688-9; he died about the month
of October, 169 1, and administration on his estate was granted
Dec. 15, 169 1, to " Henry Hooper and Mary his wife late widow
of Joseph Norman." Mary was daughter of John and Abigail
(Johnson) Collins, born 20 (12) 1669.
Henry Hooper was a prosperous man ; he carried on the
fishing business. He had a fine mansion and all the appliances
of a large business.
He died in the latter part of the year 1726; Dec. 30, 1726,
administration on his estate was granted to " his two older
sonsj Henry and Robert Hooper."

Norden, made bequests to her and her children, Samuel and
Mary Hooper, in 1724.
Samuel Hooper died about the close of the year 17 10, and
the inventory of his estate was rendered at Boston by the widow
Mary, March 27,1711; it had been taken by Daniel Morey
and John ]\Iulligan, amounting to but ;,^3-i6-4. It was allowed

10. Robert 3 {Robert," Robert^), horn at Marblehead about
1685. It has been suggested that he may be the person de-
scribed below.
Robert Hooper with his family of four persons was a settler
at Wiscasset, district of Maine, in 1730, and remained there alone
for four years. He was one of the petitioners for incorporation
into a town, March 13, 1754, and one of those asking protection
against the Indians, April 22, 1754. [Register, passim.]
11. Greenfield 3 (Robert,'' Robert^), born at Marblehead
about 1686; married there Jan. 16, 1706-7, Alice, daughter
of Andrew Tucker, Sen., (who died Dec. 12, 1691, ae. 49) and
received a share of his real estate. His wife Mary administered
on the estate first, Feb. 22, 1691-2, and on her death Greenfield
Hooper was appointed; the division of property was made
July 27, 1730.
He resided at Marblehead ; was a merchant ; the town paid
him, by vote of the town meeting Dec. 4, 1721, ;^i-i8-o6 for
" candles for the watch " (the watchmen of the town) " and
for the sick." He received payment at other times for similar
supplies. He also had, as we learn from the inventory of his
estate, a " workshop " with looms for weaving. He probably
was a " tallow chandler," making the candles he sold. The
date of his death is not recorded, but may be approximately
set at about the first of October, 1747, as on the 5th of that
month " Robert Hooper, Jr.," who was the second of the name
in age in the town at that time, was appointed administrator
of the estate of " his father Greenfield Hooper."

Sept. 20, 1702; married Aug. 4, 1725, Elizabeth, daughter of
Faithful and Anne Bardett, born (twin with Anne) Sept. 3,
1707.
He was a " coaster." He mortgaged his estate June 26,
1744, his wife Elizabeth joining in the deed ; she paid it off and
received discharge of the mortgage Dec. 28, 1750.
He died about the early part of April, 1748; as on the nth
day of that month administration upon his estate was granted
to his brother, Dea. Robert Hooper. We have no record
as evidence of children. Mrs. Elizabeth Hooper, widow,
made a will in 1770, bequeathing all her property to her
brother[-in-law] George Newmarch and his wife Anna, with
a few other individuals not of the Hooper name.
13. Robert 3 (Henry,^ Robert^), born at Marblehead, bap-
tized Nov. 24, 1706; married first, Aug. 4, 1725, Bethiah
Bartlett, twin sister of his brother Henry's wife ; she died June
21, 1742. He married second, Dec. 19, 1742, Sarah Brimble-
come, who died Nov. 18, 1754, aged 27 years, 6 months and 2
days. She and Dea. Hooper joined in a quitclaim deed of
property with Samuel, John, Seward, and Thomas Brimblecome
and Elizabeth Gale Feb. 3, 1745.
He married third, Aug. 21, 1755, Abigail, daughter of Joseph
and Elizabeth (Coggswell) Blaney, b. Jan. 11, 1726.
He was a deacon of the church and a prominent citizen;
engaged in the fishing business, attending to the cure and sale,
called " shoreman " in documents.
He was one of the founders of " New Marblehead," afterward
called Windham, Maine; had lands allotted to him June 27,
1738; but it does not appear that he ever lived there.
He died at Lynn March 25, 1763; his estate was duly ap-
praised and was settled by the widow Abigail July 14, 1763;
dowry set off to her Aug. 15, 1 767. His large property descended
to his four sons, to whom guardians were appointed Nov.
23, 1764. His sons Robert, Joseph and William removed to
the State of Maine, residing at Falmouth (Portland) and Wind-

of Richard and Mary Weber, baptized March 15, 1723-4;
she survived him and married second, May 21, 1765, John
Pearce.
The date of his death does not appear in the records ; but
his widow Sarah was appointed administratrix of his estate
May 19, 1760, and guardians were appointed for the children
Robert, Sarah, Nathaniel, Mary and Tabitha. Her final ac-

head June 26, 1709; married first, Ruth, daughter of Samuel
and Margaret Burrill of Lynn, born Jan. 25, 1711-12; she
died July 23, 1732; he married second, Sept. 10, 1735, Ruth,
daughter of Mr. Joseph Swett, an enterprising merchant of
Marblehead, by his wife Ruth ; she was born Jan. 18,
1718-19; she died March 25, 1763. He married third, Jan.
3, 1764, Mrs. Hannah Cowell. She died Nov. 9, 1766. He
married fourth, May 8, 1777, Mrs. Elizabeth Pousland.
He became a merchant of very great extent of business and
owner of large and somewhat widely separated properties.
His control of the fishing business of Marblehead and other
interests was so pronounced that he was popularly called
" King Hooper." He owned lands in Marblehead, Salem,
Danvers, and at Lyndeborough, N. H., and elsewhere. He
had a large and elegant house at Marblehead and also a mansion
at Danvers where he did " royal " entertaining. His vessels
sailed to the fishing grounds of this coast and to foreign ports.
In May, 1747, he agreed to pay the expenses of a school for
poor children, which was established. He had a high repu-
tation for honor and integrity in his business dealings, and
for his benevolence. He presented Marblehead with a fire
108 HOOPEE GENEALOGY
engine in ^farch, 1751. One of his schooners, the Swallow,
was captured at the West Indies in 1756. He was represent-
ative to the General Court in 1755; decHned a seat in the
Council on account of deafness in 1759.
Robert Hooper, Esquire, was one of tiie thirty-six persons
appointed " councillers of the Province " in 1774, at the begin-
ning of the agitation which led to the Revolution; and was
one of twelve of that number who refused to accept the honor
and participate in what they felt v/ould be unjust to the people.
He was, however, rather inclined to the side of the king during
at least the early part of the war. He died May 20, 1790.
As a token of the real, inner life of the man we present a letter
from Robert Hooper, Esq., to his granddaughter, Mrs. Ruth
Hooper (Dalton) Deblois.
Marblehead, March 17, 1790.
My Dear Gr**. Daughter
The rec'. of your most dutiful Letter of the 20*'' ultimo, gave
such a spring to my spirits, that, I could not contain myself, the
joy overcame me as it did your kind G'*^. Mamma; as y* distance
between us, & my age advancing, & attended w"^ Infirmities, I
gave up all hopes of ever seeing you any more in this World — But
flattered myself I might hear from you according to your promise. —
I am sorry you had the least Idea of presumption as to restrain your
pen, when I flattered myself you must be fully convinced what a
pleasure it always gave me to hear of the health of all the dear branches
of my family & certainly yours is not the lowest in my esteem. But
as you Justly observe we have been and still are 300 miles distance
from each other & my advanced age makes it doubtful whether I
may ever see you more in this World — your parting from me wa-s
next to Burying you — I have not the most distant doubt of your
attention, duty & inclination, to show your Great regards for your
aged Grand Papa & therefore nothing would give me more pleasure
than to hear of the health and prosperity of every Branch of my
family — I have the pleasure to acquaint you I have not had for
10 y". so favourable a winter & y"" G"*^ Mamma & all my family
have enjoyed the same I have not had any Gout for ij y" to give
me any confinement, a kind Providence has preserved my whole
family from the Influenza & am in hopes it has left the Town. I
note the Winter with you has been Very mild, it was so here until
THE MARBLEHEAD FAMILY 109
February Commenced, but since that, We have had severe Cold,
light flights of snow, followed by short & small rains. Very little
Clear weather & very Chilley, But a General time of health has
prevailed. Your G""^. Mamma Joynes me in kind regards to y'
Better half, Mr. Deblois, & are glad to hear of his health. On the
whole may you & I & all our beloved Connections live a life of piety
& Vertue remembering that the way of Holyness is the kings high
Road to Happiness, for without Holiness no man Can see the Lord —
a Holy life will end in a happy death, & a Glorious Resurrection to
life Eternal. I remain with strong affection to you, Mr. Deblois

close of the second year it w^as thought best for him to have a
vacation and he went to sea in one of his father's vessels, the
brig Union. He visited Gibraltar, Marseilles, Nice and other
points, reaching home the following spring. Instead of resuming
the college course he followed the marine line of education,
and made voyage after voyage to West Indian, European and
South American ports until he was qualified to sail as captain
and " supercargo " — that is sailing-master and business
manager of freights — in the brig Walga for Matansas and a
Russian port. He sailed Feb. 27, 1826, being not then 21 years
of age ! He made a quick and successful voyage, and a year
later was entrusted with what was then considered a very large
ship, the Arbella, of 400 tons ! and had similar good fortune
in her. He went on in that life many years. At length he

PART THREE: THE BEVERLY FAMILY
ENGLISH ANCESTRY
John Hooper of Este Coker, County Somerset, made his
will 5 April, 1605. Bequeathed to his daughters Alice and Joane,
sons Anthony, Francis, Gyles and Edward. The residue of the
estate to wife Agnes, whom he appoints executrix. Proved
28 May, 1605. Agnes Hooper, widow, was buried March 19,
1635-
In the parish registers of East Coker we find the marriage of
this testator. The registers of the parish do not go back
far enough to show whose son he was, nor do wills of the
family yet appear that give this information.
John Hooper and Agnes Williams were married the 6 of Novem-
ber, 1568.
Among the children of this couple recorded (also mentioned
in the will) we particularly note this :
Frauncis, son of John Hooper and Agnes, was baptized the
xvi'*" of Maie, 1577.
We do not find the record of this son's marriage, but the
record of baptisms of some children ; we are interested in the
following :
Frauncis, the son of Frauncis (and Elizabeth) Hooper, was
baptized the xi^ of May, 161 1.
We here supply the name of the mother in this record, as
before and after this date several children of Frauncis and
Elizabeth are recorded, leaving no doubt that this child was
also a child of Elizabeth.
fifrancis Hooper & Julian Holwaye were married Novemb: 1642.
185
186 HOOPER GENEALOGY
To this couple a pair of twins were born the next spring :
William & John y* sonnes of ffrancis & Julian Hooper were
baptized 12 March (1642-3).
" William the sonne of ffrancis Hooper " was buried 22
March, 1642-3.
But another child came to whom the same name was given :
W^illiam the sonne of ffrancis Hooper and Julian was baptized
September 4, 1644.
A daughter was also born to this couple :
Marye the daughter of ffrancis Hooper & Julian ux : was bap-
tized September the fifteenth 1646.
There is no record of the death or burial of Francis or Julian
Hooper at East Coker.
If we have correctly interpreted the East Coker will and
records the pedigree of the New England pioneer is this:

FIRST GENERATION IN AMERICA
I. Francis Hooper, whom we believe to have been the East
Coker man whose pedigree is given in the foregoing pages,
was at Marblehead as early as 1662, perhaps before that time,
THE BEVEELY FAMILY 187
and remained in the vicinity for several years. As he was a
fisherman he did not make a home here, so far as we can learn.
The very disagreeable experience he had in a collision at sea
caused a lawsuit, and the testimony given in the case, preserved
for us in the files of Essex County Court at Salem, forms a
quaint narrative and furnishes all we know of the matter.
" This 24^^ of the 4"^ mo'^ 1662
The testimony of Mighell Combs aged about twentye eight ye''^ :
Saeth that about a month past or there abouts : being at sea
on the fishing grounds : I saw a shipp coming in from the sea
knowing not what she was : wee Came to sayle closs uppon
the wind to speak with y"" : wee saw the said shipp stumbling
in neere M"" ffrancis hoopers shallopp : whoe was at ancer and
a fishing Rann them full aboord & sanck her in the sea : butt
might have esylie escaped the sayd shallopp if they had pleased:
for they had sea Roome Innuff & the wind at theire plesure :
to goe Ither ahead or asterne of them : w'^ Reasonable Care : I
was nott much beyond a Cables (length) ffrom the shipp when
this was dun : allsoe the shipps Company huUowed to us : and
my Company Cried out to me to beare upp : seeing them sayle
so despratly & what hurt was don ffor feare they would doe us
a mischief : but wee stood a little further to weather the shipp :
& then tackt in to save the fishermen whoe weare in danger
of drowning :
Sworn in court at Salem 26 4 •.62
Attestes Hillyard Verin Clerics: "
William Carter and Elias Fortin were with Hooper in the
shallop at the time and testified to the truth of " the master's "
statements; they said that he caught hold of some part of the
ship and climbed on board of her and thus was saved from
drowning. The shallop belonged to Mr. Moses Maverick, of
Marblehead, a large owner of vessels and doing an extensive
business in fishing along the coast. He was from the west of
England, and the men whom he had associated with him and
in his employ were also, many of them, from Dorsetshire,
Somersetshire and Devonshire.
188 HOOPER GENE.^XOGY
We are unable to learn anything about the movements of
Captain Francis Hooper after the year 1665, when he was in
Essex court again on some matter connected with the fishing
business. No records of himself at East Coker later than this
can be found. It may be conjectured that he was lost at sea,
but there is no evidence of this. While there is no record to
prove that he was the father of William of Beverly, the fact
that he was a " Francis Hooper " and that William was here
in his boyhood, and that the clerk of Beverly knew his parents'
names, all look toward the theory that he is William's father.
We are certainly justified in using the name Francis in the
pedigree as the first American ancestor of this Hooper family.
SECOND GENERATION
2. William^ {Francis^), born at East Coker, England,
baptized Sept. 4, 1644; married at Beverly or vicinity about
the year 1668, Elizabeth, whose surname has thus far eluded
our search.
He came as a boy to Essex County. Was in the employ of
Osman Trask, of Beverly, and gave testimony in a law^suit of
his employer's, Nov. 29, 1665. His age was given at the time
as " about 17 years," a guess of the attorney, very likely. He
bought a house and land at Beverly, at the locality called " Bass
Cove," 5 acres with the house and 10 acres elsewhere, Feb.
10, 1668. He was a fisherman.
" William Hooper, aged about 30," deposed in Essex Court
at Salem, " 27 (9) 77," i. e., Nov. 27, 1677, regarding damages
done by a gale at sea to the ketch William and Mary, belong-
ing to Humphrey Woodbury, in which he was sailing. [Files
27,37-]^
His wife Elizabeth was admitted to the church of Beverly
Dec. 3, 1678, and their children baptized in due time.
The exposed life of the fisherman left the little family forlorn,
as the town records tell us :
" William Hoopper Aged aboute thirty years Dyed aboute
the Eighth Day of november suddenly falling overboard at
THE BEVERLY FAMILY
189
sea and was sonn unto ffrancis and Julian Hooper Coker in
old England Anno 1679."
The father had returned to England before the boy settled
down in his new home.
The probate files at Salem supply us with the single docu-
ment which we give below, which closes the biography of this
man.

PART FOUR
THE MAINE FAMILY
This Part Compiled by Charles Henry Pope
PART FOUR: THE MAINE FAMILY
It may be said in a general way that there are two stages of
the history of the Maine Hooper family, first the " pre-historic "
and second the historic. The former stage of the history —
which is not un-historical but simply not connected by absolute
proofs with the latter stage — begins with an Englishman,
John Hooper, resident at Richmond's Island or the Scarboro
shore, one may believe, who made a pair of boots for Capt.
John Winter or some employee of his and received eight shillings
for them in the year 1642, as Winter's accounts show. The
surname was spelled " Hupper," but that does not affect the
fact of his being properly called Hooper, since the name was
often so mis-spelled in England and here.
Mary Hooper was a daughter of Capt. John Winter, the
manager of the Richmond Island Plantation on the coast of
Maine (1630- 1648). It would appear that she had first married
a husband by the name of '' Coulinge," as " my daughter Mary
Coulinge " was mentioned by Mr. Winter in his letters to Mr.
Robert Trelawney, his employer in the thirties. But he ordered
money paid to his " daughter Mary Hooper " in a letter in 1642
and wrote to her in 1644. She may have remained in England
when her mother and sister Sarah came to this country. Who
her husband was has not yet been ascertained, but probably
a Devonshire man. There is no clue to the relationship that
Hooper may have had to those of the name who came to America
and settled here.
The next point of this un-connected early record is the fact
that Thomas Hooper, apparently in the Piscataqua valley,
furnished boards and staves for sugar boxes and fish boxes
and barrels for various merchandise, to Mr. Peter Coffin as
shown in the account presented in Essex Court under date of
Feb. 2, 1659, in the lawsuit of Broughton vs. Cook in June, 1664.
Next we have one Thomas Hooper, who was on a fishing
227
228 HOOPER GENEALOGY
voyage witli Michael Partridge and was drowned about the
entrance of Salem harbor in April, 1667. The inventory of
his effects shows partnership in the shallop and fish and some
articles of use there ; but, like the two earlier records, gives no
line relating to family, home or connections. He may have
been the man who had carried boards as freight or even carried
on the mill business five years before.
Referring to another town in Massachusetts, we find John
Hooper with wife Elizabeth, parents of a child Elizabeth in
Boston, Jan. 22, 1666; and Feb. 12 of that year the will of
Edward Fletcher, cutler and minister, gave a bequest to his
sister " Elizabeth Hooper." But there is nothing to show that
the couple continued to live here, or that the sister resided in
this country, as Fletcher had been abroad for years and his
property was partly at Gloucester, Eng.
The next point in this unconnected narrative is the payment
of the " charges " of Elisha Hooper for the sum of 12 shillings
and 6 pence for serving as a soldier " in the late Indian Warre
unto the first September 1677 " by the town of Wells, Maine.
Yet again we find no particulars about the defender of the
pioneer homes. However, Wells is very near Richmond's
Island on the one side and York and Kittery, on the other side,
where our actual family records commence. One accustomed
to trace the connection of families cannot fail to be impressed
with this fact, and to consider the probability that John, the
boot-maker, Elisha, the soldier, and the men whom we are about
to describe were related closely. Especially does this hypothesis
grow in favor when we observe that one of the two men whose
residence and family we know was a manufacturer of foot-wear,
also, and that the trade descended in the line. But the writer
is content to leave to later historians all attempts to connect
what he has called the " pre-historic " stage with that which
is clearly historical.
Thomas and John Hooper are the men who stand at the
head of the York County, Maine, Hoopers. While there is not
a line yet found which demonstrates tb at they were related, their
neighborhood and the occurrence of the same names in some
cases suggest that they may^^have been brothers; so, without
THE MAINE FAMILY . 229
affirming this, we place their records side by side and those of
their descendants similarly, generation after generation. It
happened that Thomas' descendants removed to Charlestown,
Mass., after a little, and this left those of John alone to continue
the history which was begun in 1642 by the first manufacturer
(or one of the very earliest) of boots and shoes in the state of
Maine !
I. Thomas' Hooper first appears as a resident of Kittery,
Maine, in 1694 through the record of his daughter Elizabeth's
birth. Hailed from York in 1697, when he and his wife Eliza-
beth (Small) sold a tract of land which had been bequeathed to
her in 1687, by Capt. Francis Champernowne, in whose family
she had a home. She appears to have been the daughter of
Francis and Elizabeth Small. Shortly after the sale of this
land the couple returned to Kittery and made that their home.
The town gave him the customary grant of land as a settler in
1700. How long he lived is not known, nor is the death of the
wife on record. But in the year 1738 she was a widow and
resided at Biddeford ; she declined to administer on the estate
of her son Benjamin that year; from that date nothing has
been found concerning her.

i. Elizabeth, 2 b. at Kittery, March 27, 1694.

2. John' Hooper resided at Kittery, Maine, in the year
1 701, and had very likely lived there some time previous. A
person of the same name was a resident of Portsmouth, across
the river Piscataqua in 1696, and was on the list of men ordered
to be ready to take their turns as watchmen in the troublous
230 HOOPER GENEALOGY
Indian campaign ; and this man and the Kittery resident are
not unHkely identical.
He was a shoemaker, or, as the EngUsh phrase, long employed
in legal documents, here runs, " cordwainer." As has been said
above this was the trade of the first John Hooper known to
American annals, the man who supplied Capt. John Winter in
1642. From time immemorial Englishmen have held tenaciously
to the father's trade or profession, especially for the son who
bore the father's name; and who shall deny the probability
that the Kittery man was son or grandson of the pioneer ?
John Hooper, of Kittery, bought a tract of land in the part of
town which became Berwick, and was a member of the church of
the latter place; they chose him one of their deacons and the
town honored him, and he left a good record of character and
citizenship. He died between May 22, 1756, when he made his
will, and Jan. 7, 1762, when it was proved. He had married
a wife named Charity, w'hose parentage has not been ascer-
tained, nor the date of her decease.

THE MAINE FAMILY 233
He was a cordwainer as his father had been. He bought a
tract of land five miles north of the homestead in Berwick in
1744, and there built a tannery and shoe-shop in which he
carried on the double business for many years. He sometimes
wrote his name " WiUiam Hupper," as in a deed Nov. 4, 1761.
He was repeatedly elected to important town offices and appears
to have been respected and influential. He and his wife were
admitted to the local church (Congregational) in April, 1766,
but afterward, rejecting the doctrine of the baptism of infants,
joined the Baptist (then called " Anti-paedo-baptist) denomina-
tion about 1782.
He was one of the witnesses to the will of John Fall of Berwick,
Aug. I, 1745. He conveyed his homestead to his son " John
Hooper, Jun*^ " June 29, 1796. He died July 26, 1809; his
widow died in January, 181 2.*

• Note. — In the book, " A Biographical Sketch of Eight Generations of
Hoopers in America " — to which we are indebted for some details concern-
ing this particular branch — Mrs. William Sumner Crosby, of Brookline, has
traced down the descendants of this William ^ Hooper to herself, giving very
much and valuable matter concerning some other branches of that line. Her
theory that John and Thomas Hooper of Kittery, Me., were sons of William
Hooper of Reading is disproved by many documents referred to in our Part
One. See No. 272 of this Part.

at home and in the surrounding towns removed to Madbury,
N. H., and became pastor of the Baptist church there. He was

APPENDIX
HOOPERS IN ENGLAND WHO MAY HAVE BEEN
ANCESTORS OR CONNECTIONS OF THE
AMERICAN FAMILIES
Bishop John Hooper was born in Somersetshire about the year
1495; was in some respects the noblest Hooper of EngHsh history. He
was educated at Merton College, Oxford ; took orders as a Cistercian
monk and resided awhile at London. He became converted to Protest-
antism and went over to the Continent in 1546. There he remained
several years, part of the time at Zurich in Switzerland (1547-9). On
the accession of Edward VI to the throne of England he returned to
London and preached there. He was appointed Bishop of Gloucester,
but he had come to disapprove of the vestments of the sacred office and
his objections caused his arrest and confinement in the Fleet Prison in
London for some time. At length he surrendered the point as not vital
and was consecrated and inducted into office. King Edward is said
to have desired to have him remain at London and advise in matters
concerned in the reformation of the Church. In 1552 he was appointed
Bishop of Worcester " in commenJam," and entered upon the duties of
the position. " Prophetically," says Rev. Cotton Mather, " he took for
his coat of arms A Lamb in a Flaming Bush, with Rays from Heaven
shining on it." [Quoted in Me. H. & G. Recorder, vol. ix, p. 34.]
He opposed the attempt to set Queen Mary aside, yet when she as-
cended the throne and began her work of persecution Bishop Hooper
was arrested and confined in Fleet Prison eighteen months; was con-
demned as a heretic and burned at the stake at Gloucester, Feb. 9, 1555-6.
He was remarkably diligent in his care of his diocese; himself preached
frequently, at one period " 3 or 4 times daily," as his wife wrote to
Bullinger; he gave much attention and oversight to the work of his
clergy; had a great heart of love for the poor, in proof of which he
gave a dinner to them daily, often sitting at table with them and eating
with them. His writings were collected and published at Oxford in
1855. He was a noble, consecrated Christian minister and leader, a
valuable helper in the emancipation of the Church from the superstitions
and errors which had been gathering upon it during the Middle Ages,
leading back to the pure Gospel standards. He married in Germany,
probably in 1546. We have not been able yet to learn the name of his
wife or whether they had children.

APPENDIX 307
The son William of Thomas Hooper of Cossington, old enough to have
a good sum of money and the best part of his father's wardrobe be-
queathed him in 1634, but not yet a father — whether married or not —
is not mentioned by his uncle John a year later. This factwould not militate
against the supposition that William had received his " nobles " and
outfit and had made his way to the West as a pioneer of New England.
There is here no evidence that such was the case; merely an omission
of the young man's name when the second son was mentioned ; though
it is fair to say that perhaps Thomas was specified because he was a
namesake of the testator.
But the time and place are favorable to the theory that William, son
of John of Cossington, may have been the William who was an emigrant
to Massachusetts in 1635, the settler at Reading.

Chrispin Hooper, " of London, merchant," was appointed by Daniel!
fFarvacks and Isaac Pegay, of London, merchants, May 2, 1651, their
attorney for the transaction of business in " the three plantations of
Virginia, Newe England and Barbadoes." The document was recorded
in the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds the 2d of the 12th month, Feb-
ruary, 1652, Mr. Hooper having that day made oath to the letter of
attorney before Mr. William Hibbens, one of the magistrates, at Boston.
As attorney he made a settlement the same day with Joanna, wife of
John Tuttle of Ipswich, for goods which had been shipped on consign-
ment to Mr. Robert Hooper and Mr. Martin Bentley, merchants at the
Barbadoes, due record of which is also in Suffolk Deeds.
This Chrispin Hooper dealt in fish and we have considerable account
of one transaction of his in this line recorded in Suffolk Deeds.
Rhoda, wife of John Gore, testified that in August, 1654, she was with
Mr. Hooper when he received a lot of fish, " fivety quintalls of refuse
fish, whereof Thirty quintalls he received of mr. Isaac Walker w'"'' was
New England fish and twenty quintalls hee received of one mr. Lattimer
w'^^ was new fownd Land fish, both parcels beeing verry good mar-
chantable and well dryed w''' fish the said hooper sent then aboard the
shipp good fellow George dell master, in the boate of one Matthew grose,
And further this deponent saith, that the said hooper was at the Receiving
and waying of all the above-mentioned fish, excepting fower quintalls,
w*^*" shee took accompt of in his absence hee being stept aside to speake
with a freind and that shee heard the said hooper say that the fish was
for the Ace", of mr. Edward Chamberlayn of Barbadoes." " Matthew
Groase, Aged 25 years or there abouts " testified to the same transaction,
adding that the fish " had beene fyred in the sone a whole day " before
it was delivered to Mr. Hooper, and that " the said hooper in takeing
wayte of the said fish was verry nice in the Choyce of It and refused that
w*^ Coold not be refused, w''*' occationed angry words." John Jephson
also testified that he was employed in the handling of the fish.
Chrispin Hooper was in Boston Sept. 10, 1662, when a deed of land
was acknowledged and delivery of the premises made in his presence by
Elizabeth, wife of Robert Gibbs.
George Hooper was a landholder in Boston in 1671, as appears from
the reference to his land in deeds of adjoining property. He was a sea-
captain or " mariner," as is shown by the title given him in a deed of
additional land he bought of another mariner, Thomas Smith, and Re-
becca, his wife, Oct. 20, 1674. The location is thus described : " at the
northerly end of Boston, being butted and bounded Southwest by
the land of Esdras Reade, Westerly by the highway that leads from the
310 APPENDIX ►
side of the mill pond towards Winnisimet ferry place, Northerly by the
land of the sd George Hooper; and easterly by the land of Obediah
Reade ; and measureth on the south west side sixty foure foot be the same
more or less and on the front or westerly end sixty three foot be the
same more or less and on the Northerly side seaventy foot be the same
more or less and on the reare or easterly end thirty nine foot be the
same more or less."
He was taxed for this property in the successive years till 1685, accord-
ing to the surviving lists.
With his wife Mary, " daughter of Charles Precious sometime of
Boston, smith, deceased," he mortgaged lands in Boston to John Rich-
ards, Esq. Nov. 19, 1686.
He was master of the brigantine Rebeccah, and came in her from
Newfoundland, " importing Sundry goods of the growth and Production
of Europe which were not Bona fide laden in England, Wales or town of
Berwick upon Tweed," and for this cause his vessel was confiscated
" according to Act of Parliament; title given to purchaser Dec. 10, 1686."
[Suflr". Deeds.]
Following is the list of his children who are registered :
i. Rebecca, b. July 29, 1673.
ii. George, b. April 14, 1677.
iii. Richard, b. May 3, 1681.
iv. Charles, b. April 30, 1683.
v. Mary, b. May 2, 1685.
We find no further records of this family.
James Hooper, was a resident of Boston and paid tax there in the year
1688. He died Jan. 18, 1688-9, " ^^- about 25 years; " was buried at
King's Chapel.
He made his will 16 Jan. 1688, proved 31 Dec. 1689. Was a merchant
in Boston; owned part of new ship in building by Wm. Greenough;
bequests to father Mr. Philip and mother Mrs. Jane Hooper, of Exon
(Exeter), England; sisters Margery Yeo, Elizabeth Hooper and Mrs.
Grace Sampson, brother Philip Hooper, merchant at Bilboa; contrib-
utes toward the building of the New Church in Boston ; to Mr. Ratclifl^e,
minister, landlord Edward Crick and his wife each of them a gold ring,
and friends Mr. John Poole and Elizabeth, his wife, of Boston. Inven-
tory mentions a " boy " in his service named Nicholas Porter.
He may have been a grandson of the following:
Nicholas Hooper, of Salcombe, co. Devon, Eng., will 9 March, 1608-9,
proved 15 April, 1620. Wife Elizabeth, sons Philip and John, daus.
Julian, Mary, Agnes and Katherine Hooper, and Susannah Griggs.
[Waters' Gleanings.]
Richard Hooper, chirurgeon (physician), was an early resident of
Hampton, then a part of Massachusetts, now of New Hampshire. Our
APPENDIX 311
first note of him comes when he was set upon and beaten in the streets
of that town by Samuel Sherburne, who was afterward indicted for the
act and the constable was unable to arrest the assaulter, Dec. 9, 1684.
[N. H. State Papers, I, 553.]
There was some family connection between the parties, perhaps, for
after the death of Dr. Hooper his wife Elizabeth, whose maiden name
eludes our search, conveyed to Love Sherburne, widow of Samuel, a
tract of land at Hampton, June 24, 1699. The " chirurgeon " built a
house at Hampton and gave a note for some part of the cost as we learn
from a suit brought to recover payment of the note dated April 3, 1684;
suit brought in September following in Essex Co.
He removed to Watertown, living temporarily at Cambridge on the
way. He died in 1691 and his estate was settled by the widow. After
her death the trust developed on Mr. Francis Foxcroft, who gave bonds
Feb. 16, 1701.
Children :
i. Hannah, b. about 1683.
ii. Henry, b. about 1685. He studied physic with Dr. Checkley,
being specified as an " apprentice " of that gentleman at the time his
guardian was appointed in 1701. He married first, at Providence, R. I.,
by Nathaniel Codington, Assistant, Dec. 10, 1716, Remembrance Parker,
as one record gives it, or Remember Perkins, as other documents indicate.
He married second Deborah , as deeds prove. He removed to New-
port, R. I., before Dec. 20, 1733.
Robert Hooper, master (mariner) and merchant at the Barbadoes,
was one of the consignees of a cargo shipped by John Tuttle of Ipswich
and settled for by Mr. Chrispin Hooper, formerly of London, merchant,
but then doing business at Boston and elsewhere, in the last month of
the year 1652. It is probable that the following was a son of his.
Saint John Hooper, temporarily residing at Salem but a resident of
Barbadoes, made Benjamin Marston of Salem his attorney May 14.,
1702, with reference to moneys to be received from Capt. Ellis or Thos.
Akers " when yo' vessell sails for Bilbo " [Bilboa in Spain] which were
to be invested in anything which " is Likely to Turne best to account
their." Called in document " St. John Hooper of the Island of Bar-
badoes now resident in Salem, merchV Signed " Sa* Jn° Hooper.'
Robert Littis Hooper, was Chief Justice of the Province of New
Jersey, and before him Philip Cox, of the Blue Hills in the county of
Summersett, carpenter," made a letter of attorney to his son Philip Cox
of the said county in East New Jersey, Aug. 30, 1731. [York (Me.)
Deeds, XIV, 256.]
He was chief justice 1725-8 and 1732 till his death in March, 1739.
He resided at Perth Amboy, N. J.; a son and a grandson bore his name
and were men of eminence.
312 APPENDIX
Reverend William Hooper, " born near Kelso, Scotland and grad-
uated at Edinburgh University, was engaged by a gentleman here to be
tutor to his son "* and came to Boston about the year 1737. He had
such gifts and education as led the people of the newly organized West
Church of Boston (Congregational) to call him to be their pastor, and
he was ordained by a council of which Rev. Benjamin Coleman was a
leading member. After a happy pastorate of some nine years he accepted
the invitation of Trinity Parish (Episcopal); suddenly taking his de-
parture for England, where he was again ordained by the Bishop of
Gloucester, and on his return entered on the rectorship of Trinity Aug.
28, 1747. In that office he continued till the close of his life; he " fell
dead in his yard " April 14, 1767. Many testimonials are on record to the
high character and excellent abilities of the good man. He published
" Ihe Apostles neither impostors nor enthusiasts," 1742, and a sermon on
the death of Thomas Greene, 1763.

Church, Boston, of which the father was then pastor, June 21, 1741;
married in Boston at King's Chapel, Aug. 16, 1767, Ann Clark. He was
graduated at Harvard College in 1760; studied law with James Otis,
Esquire; removed to North Carolina, where he practised law; was
elected to the Assembly in 1773, havmg become favorably known by the
assistance he rendered to the Provincial government in 1770 in the
suppression of an insurrection. He became a man of prominence in the
legislative body and was chosen as one of the delegates to the Continental
Congress. He was a member of that body when the Declaration of
Independence was passed and his name is on the famous document as
one of those intrepid and far-sighted signers.
In 1777 he resigned. Was afterward appointed a Federal judge and
one of the arbiters in a question of boundary between Massachusetts
and New York.
Rev. William (William, William) was graduated from the University
of North Carolina in 1809; received the honorary degree of A. M. from
Princeton; became a minister (D. D.) and was a professor in his alma
mater; later was president of Wake Forest College and engaged in the
instruction of youth sixty-six years. He died about 1876. His son-in-law
