Scope and content:

The Hoopers of Caswell and Durham County, North Carolina and Allied Families, With Their Virginia Origins (Walker, Henderson, Kimbrough/Kimbro, Jones, Foster, Horton, Wilson/Willson, Strong, Salling and Carter) traces Johnston's wife's maternal line. There is detailed information on the Hooper line in Caswell County that leads back to Zachariah Hooper of Amelia County, Virginia, and other Hooper lines in Virginia. There is also research on the paternal line of Capt. Richard Jones (ca. 1784-1861) of Caswell County, much of it with the aid of Audrey Z. Jones of Lexington, Kentucky. There is a good deal of correspondence with her, as well as Marilyn Symonds. The work of Katherine Kerr Kendall in abstracting Caswell County records, and information on the Hooper family provided by D. Wayne Gunn of Kingsville, Texas was also used to compile this volume. There are also copies of the Hooper Compass newsletter.
