The many sons (and descendants) of the early Hookers of PCVA

Linda,I wrote a long explanation of the 9-10 sons and 4 daughters of Samuel Hooker (b c 1765, married Mary Gibson) of Patrick Co.,VA.And his brother Wm (b c 1755) of Patrick Co.,VA had at least 3 sons and 4 or 5 daughters. If one has read the Guion-Miller Rolls/Apps. one knows the Cherokee heritage of these Hookers and of many of the other surnames in PCVA.
(My computer was having problems that night [over a week ago], and it seems not to have posted.)
These two Hooker males (and their siblings) - we know of one probable sibling named Robert of PCVA (b c 1760s married a Sally Pike) and the father of the "6 brothers" line were most probably the 3rd generation of this line with the name Hooker - their father was Robin/Robert (jr?) Hooker (b c 1730 in s.w. VA) and their mother was Aly/Ali/Alice.
Robin's father is thought to also be Robert Hooker (b c 1700). Robert Hooker is shown on land deeds starting in 1747 in the area that became Pittsylvania and Henry Co., VA.
Robert (Jr) and his wife, Alice are also listed on land records in Henry Co.,VA in the 1770s and 80s.
The descendants of Robin Hooker (b c 1730) have tested the Q1a3 haplo. These descendants have been tested through the Randolph Co., NC Hookers (from Robert and Jacob b c 1750s), the PCVA Hookers (above), and the "6 brothers" line b. in NC between 1777-1792 in NC (their father b c 1750 but given name not known). This is the line that Thomas b c 1777 in NC and Wm b c late 1770s (father of Robert, b c 1800 in TN), Wm C (b 1815 in TN), Seth (b c 1811 in TN) and Samuel N. (b c 1807 in TN) - and several daughters come from.
These are the relatives of Robert and Wm C Hooker who came from Franklin Co., AL to TX. (As did many of their cousins from the "6 brothers.")
Below is a simple explanation of the Q haplo from Wikipedia:
Haplogroup Q is the predominant Y-chromosome haplogroup in indigenous peoples of the Americas.
"Approximately 20,000 to 15,000 years ago, a group migrated from Asia into the Americas by crossing the Bering Strait. Many of the men in this group must have belonged to haplogroup Q for it now accounts for the majority of non-European haplogroups in indigenous peoples of the Americas. (Note: NON-EUROPEAN)
Indeed, haplogroup Q has been found in approximately 94% of Indigenous peoples of South America and detected in Na-Dené speakers at a rate of 25-50%, and North American Eskimo–Aleut populations at about 46%. (Note: As well as other Native Americans.)
This founding population spread throughout the Americas. In the Americas, a member of the founding population underwent a mutation, producing its descendant population defined by the M3 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Many members of haplogroup Q in the Americas belong to the Q-M3 subclade." (Note: This is the mutation - the M3+ - having the M3 or positive).
(Note: See map on Wikipedia. It shows the path of the spread of the Q haplo. The negative (for M3) called M3- [negative] is the original before the above mutation and is rarer. It is found in the Middle East and Asia through Siberia along the trail of migration as I said before. There are approx. 3 instances/lines of the [M3-] in Scandanavia; this type of a haplo out of sync/place has been explained many times.)
This info, as I said before many times, can also be found on the Family Tree DNA site as well as in many scholarly works if one is so inclined to read.
