Stephen G. Hooker/Helen Nash Norton
stephen G. Hooker is my gggrandfather on my father's side. His son was George Graves Hooker and George's son, my grandfather, was Preston Nash Hooker. George married Nina Preston of Bangor, MI. she was Preston's mother and died in 1906 at 27.
Stephen G Hooker was an early Chicagoan and became quite wealthy there in the grain business. He married Helen Nash Norton from NY around 1850. They had at least 10 children. I have all info on their children and most of their descendants. Their children that lived to be adults were:
Alice G. Wadsworth, Edward C. Hooker, Nellie Ringborg, Chester W. Hooker and George Graves Hooker, my ggrandpa.
What I am trying to find is Stephen G (Garner) Hooker's parents. We have several guesses we are looking at...one being a Silas and Eliza (Shattuck) Hooker of VT.
I am also trying to find out who Helen's parents were but they seem very elusive and I just seem to find her when she was 18 in NY living with a Dix family. Buffalo might tie in somehow.
If any of this sounds familiar to you, please email me at [email protected] or post to list.
Thanks,
