You asked if Alice Stanyerne was John Hooker's only wife. That is all that is shown in my records. I show they only had two children, Frances and Thomas. My line follows Thomas and I have no information on Frances. Quoting from the book THOMAS HOOKER 1586-1647 by Deryck Collingwood."Our Thomas' great grandfather, "THOMAS HOKER of Blason in the countie of Lecestre, yeoman," (will dated 2 September 1559), was predeceased by his grandfather "JOHNS HOOKER of Blaston in the countie of Lecestre, yoeman," whose will is dated 6 November 1558. In this latter will, John bequethed the use of his house at Blston to his father during his lifetime, and to his son Thomas (c. 1552-1636) afterwards. This Thomas was our Thomas' father.
