About John Hoo
- American ancestors of the children of Joseph and Daniella Wheeler, of whom we have records, and some account of English Hoo and Newdigate ancestors by Wheeler, Joseph ....

- The records of the Hoo or de Hoo and the Newgate or Newdigate families, from whom the Jackson, Fuller, and Wheeler families are descended, are taken from records of wills, family records, tombstones, and from Salisbury's Genealogies and Berry's County Genealogies.
- Professor Salisbury's valuable work on Genealogy, p. 502, says :
- "We have abstracts of the principal Hoo wills recorded at Bury-St-Edmunds, and find no mention of any transmission of land except in the line we give as that of Walter Hoo. But, as we have seen, we can with great probability go farther back with our line of Hoos ; for the same lands appear to have been held in the same family for at least four generations previous to 'John off Hoo' who died in 1485, which would make Walter Hoo to have been of at least the seventh generation in possession."
- The genealogical works we have mentioned give very strong circumstantial, and what is very short of positive, evidence that the De Hoo line extends without break or interruption from Sir Robert Hoo, who died 1000, to John off Hoo, who died 1485 — he being the 10th gen. from Sir Robert Hoo; but in order to adhere to our determination to reject all records which are not sustained by unquestioned evidence, we commence the record of the Hoo family with John off Hoo, whose extensive land holdings Salisbury and other writers upon genealogy assert had been in possession of the same family — his immediate ancestors — for at least four generations.
- 1ST GEN. John off Hoo, of Hessett Co., Suffolk, born about 1400; built the chapel and battlements of the church of St. Ethelbert, in Hessett, prior to 1480. Will dated 1485. Sir Walter Hoo, his principal executor, m. Katherine, dau. and heir of Reynold Tylly. Salisbury's and other works upon genealogy assert that he is descended in the 10th generation from Sir Robert Hoo, Knight of Hoo, who died 1000.

- The only certain information that we have about the family of JOANE HOO who married PHILLIPE NEWEGATE,¹ is from the will of her father, GUALTHER HOO, found in the Family Histories and Genealogies, I, 499. From this it appears that the property that GUALTHER HOO bequeathed to his sons had descended to him through several generations of ancestors. Mrs. Salisbury thinks that his descent from "John at Hoo" (1558) and earlier from "John off Hoo" (1485) can be proved from the similarity of the descriptions of these lands, which would seem to have been alienated lands from the monastery of St. Edmunds. GAULTHER HOO's will, dated 1587 and proved in 1589, is in part as follows:
- "I Gualther Hooe of Hessett in the county of Suffolk, yeoman, [to eldest son John and his heirs male] Freehold in Hessett, Beighton and Rougham . . . Ande for defaulte of suche yssue make the remainder to the heries males of the bodye of Robte Hoo for ever."² After some further bequest of copyhold lands to the same son, with "Limatacons" or payment of money to the younger brothers Jeremy and John and the sister JOANE, he bequeathed to JOANE his "best round table . . . Unto Philipe Newgate of Horningheath my sonne-in-law my best hose and doublett. . . . my pewter dish to their son, my wife's god-son [i.e., JOHN NEWDIGATE (80).] . . . charging him [his son John] as he will .... etc.
- The family of Hoo is now extinct in England. His children were:
- John.
- Jeremy.
- John.
- JOANE, see THE NEWDIGATE FAMILY IN ENGLAND.
