According to Hooper Genealogy, A Southern Branch by Flora Hooper  
Collier, Vol.I, our ancestor came from Linkinhorne, County Cornwall,  
England.  Checking records I found on Linkinhorne Parish, Sources of  
Information, the only Hooper I found there in 1589, 1621, 1641, 1660,  
1713, 1744 and 1754 was WILLIAM HOOPER and July 25, 1718 John, son of  
William Hooper, baptized.

These are the earliest Hoopers I have found in Virginia:
> Richard Hooper sponsored by Tristram Nosworthy to Isle of Wight  
> Virginia, USA 1643
> Thomas Hooper sponsored by William Barker to Charles City County,  
> Virginia 1635
> Jon (John) Hooper sponsored by Thomas Wheeler to Charles City  
> County, Virginia 1643
> Joseph Hooper Immigration list sponsored by William Glover Stanard,  
> Virginia 1729
> James Hooper Virginia USA 1700 Source unknown
1635   Pre 1700 Immigrants William Hooper
  Charles City County Court orders 1658-1661
William Hooper, aged 22, appears in court in Ch C C in 1658

Who else is working on our Ancestors and what can you add to this  
information?  Do you believe we came from Linkinhorne, County Cornwall  
or do you have another location?
