”Rachel was the sister of Edmund Grindall, Archbishop of Canterbury. She had another brother, Robert who had 4 daughters - Mabell, Anne, Batbata, & Frances. She had another sister, Elizabeth, who married John Woodhall. THEY had 6 children, including Isabel, who married Rev. Doctor William Wilson, and had children, including Margaret Wilson, who married David Rawson, father of the Hon. Edward Rawson, 1st Secretary of the Mass Bay Colony." [6]
The Hooker ancestry is quite difficult to determine with certainty both because of the War of the Roses and a "fugitive" who had to hide his tracks.There is an ancestry that goes to Geraph Voell whose son, Jago Voell married Alice Hooker.Whether that line is truly connected to John Hooker, as many secondary sources aver, is unable to confirm with primary sources.
