[Hooper] Obadiah Hooper/Thomas Hooper DNA

[Deanna Baumgardner]

Memories of Dr. Thomas W. Hooper, as written for the Richmond  
Dispatch, February 3, 1895:  (in part)

"Near Cold Harbor stands the house where my father was born, and not  
far from the house there is a graveyard, surrounded by a brick wall,  
with a half-circle brick along the top. There sleep the generations  
of my forefathers in that enclosure is buried Mr. James Hooper and at  
his funeral Rev. Samuel {blank} officiated in 1754, and preached a  
most powerful sermon on the text selected by the good man before his  
death, I Peter, IV, 18."

Dr. Thomas Williamson Hooper (Joseph Henry Hooper, Edmund Hooper,  
Thomas Hooper).  A descendant of Thomas Hooper and Unity- is a 25/24  
match for Obadiah Hooper.  Hooper Genealogy, Vol. 11, pg 4 list among  
the Obadiah Hoopers in St. Paul's Parish Records "Taxpayers from  
1782-1815".
Thomas Hooper and Unity Hooper and their sons, William, Edmund and  
Jeremiah. We did not know who they were until the DNA match.  If you  
want what I have on this family email me direct and I will send a pdf  
attachment.
