Source: Harry Hooker to Ava Hooker, 15 Mar 1893. received from Bob Dorsey, Angelica Town Historian, 17 Sep 1999. Another clue was sent by Kathy Gilbert, a page from an unidentified book, that says on pg 304, a section of Townshend, "The first settlers in the town of Action were Riverius Hooker, John Hooker, Ruel Hooker, Noah Fisher, Eleazor Fisher, and Ebenezer Bivins, in 1781, the latter three of whom became the first permanent settlers, as the others returned to their homes in Athens." Not sure which Riverius this refers to. with John Hooker of Athens VT and Harry Hooker. | |
