Copies of the pages from the John Hooker Family Bible were contributed by Sharon Marsalis. The entries have been transcribed here exactly as they appear on the Bible pages, however the order of the Marriage, Birth and Death entries may differ from that in the Bible. This Bible was published in 1834. The handwriting for the birth entries for Henry and Ann Covert, John and Hyram Hooker appear to be the same. Most of the other entries are in a different handwriting. This Hooker family resided in Tyrrell County, NC before moving to Craven County, NC in the mid 1800s.
