These Hookers out of SC came down into SC from southern NC, and this particular line has not been yDNA tested yet. They might match the eastern VA/NC line of Wm "I" Hooker who moved from east VA into n. e. NC/Chowan Co.,NC dying there in 1715. But since these SC Hookers who went into TN (and some then came to Hunt Co.,TX with a wagon train led by a Rev Thomas Hooker - not the one from CT!) This TN Rev Thomas had a brother Wm Hooker also from SC who came into Smith Co.,TN.
This is a different line from the 6 brothers line which came out of s.w. VA and moved across n. w. NC into TN. Wm and Thomas (b late 1770s in NC) were in Williamson Co.,TN from 1801-1813 on tax records.
