Narrative

From Tennessee Marriages 1801-1825:
Elizabeth Hooker married John Mills on 28 November 1815. The same source lists Elizabeth Hooker Mills' marriage to Matthew Hancock 13 March 1819. There is a pay voucher in the National Archives for Elizabeth's father, Benjamin Hooker, for his sevice in the War of 1812. The Battle of New Orleans was the last engagement of the war and was fought on 8 January 1815. The Treaty of Ghent had been signed 15 days before the Battle. This battle might have been prevented had cell phones already been invented. The point being that it is unlikely that Elizabeth's first husband, John Mills, was killed in that engagement. Benjamin returned along with his son and Elizabeth's brother, Joshua Freeman Hooker.
