General Notes

The Hooker English line had been surnamed Vowell. They had originally been in Wales but moved to England (primarily the Exeter area) and in the 15th century on were known as Vowell AND Hooker at various times. "A Hooker heiress, and the last of her line, married into this Vowell line. To honor her father the Vowell male took the name Hooker. So from the 1500s on they were known by both names but then finally by Hooker."
