John Hooper, Sr.

2. John' (Robert1) born, as he deposed, about 1641; married Christian . There is some reason to believe that she was a daughter of Samuel and Ann Condy of Boston and Salem, since Ann, in her will, Oct. 9, 1678, bequeathed pewter platters to John and Christian Hooper and their children, mentioning in particular Elizabeth and John; John Hooper was one of the persons who made oath to the will at Salem court, although not one of the witnesses, which would point to his having some near relation to the deceased. Christian was born, as she deposed, about 1645.

We have, for several reasons, concluded that John was a son of Robert, Senior. To be sure the name Robert was not given to either of his children of whom we know, or to theirs;

while it was a stock name in the families of Robert, Jr., and Henry. Possibly he had an older son named Robert. Further investigations may show the facts.

" John Hooper of Marblehead " bought half an acre of land there of Peternell Bartoll for nine pounds, July 6, 1665; it was located " on the hill formerly called Goites Hill, betwixt the house of Robert Hooper on the southwest and the cove called the Scots Cove towards the northeast, to the sea toward the harbour, bounded by the path northwest." He sold to Edward Holman for fifty shillings, May 7, 1685, one half the ground on which the fishing stage they were jointly building was standing, with all rights, his wife Christian joining in the deed. He signed his name and made acknowledgment to the deed May 31, 1687. If he was a son of Robert and a brother- in-law of Holman this partnership would be very natural.

He was one of the citizens who signed a call for a town meeting March 14, 1673. [Essex Court Files.] His name stood under that of " Robert Houper " and spelled the same way, in the list of persons owning rights to pasture cattle on the Common Oct. 7, 1674, and like Robert, he was credited with " 1 cow." " John Houper " was a member of a committee chosen March 20, 1676, " to look after the stint of cattle upon the Common," i. e. to determine whose cattle and how many should be pastured there. He was one of the appraisers of the estate of Francis Chappell, 4 Oct. 1686.

The wife Christian was a member of the church, and in her name seven of the children were baptized Aug. 23, 1685.

John Hooper died before Dec. 12, 1709, when the widow Christian was appointed administratrix of his estate. The inventory showed carpenter's tools; half of a "stage, flake yard and warehouse " for the fishing business; dwelling-house and land adjacent, etc. Dec. 28, 1710, the widow presented her account. Division of the property was made July 1, 1713, to " John Hooper, the eldest son, a double portion;" to sons William and Joseph Hooper and the representatives of deceased son Samuel; and to daughters Elizabeth Haynes, Christian Meek and Deliverance Grose. Benjamin was not mentioned and may have died before that time, leaving no heirs.

Feb. 7,1718-19, Joseph Hooper, fisherman, Elizabeth Haynes and Christian Meek, widows, quitclaimed all their rights in the estate to their brother John Hooper's son, John Hooper.
