They were sent from Killingworth, Connecticut in 1762 and from West Stockbridge, Massachusetts after that. They described the hard times of those days and showed a brave struggle against the difficulties of a frontier settlement. After repeated plans and disappointments about revisiting his old home, he made a visit in 1775 and influenced his friends and others to join him in the "new West" of that day where there was a "good deal of comfort and advancement in log cabins and rough conditions" and where a "good spirit of patriotism and Christianity abounded."3

The will named his son Ebenezer his Executor and made the following bequests: to his beloved wife Elizabeth, during her life, he gave the use of the easterly front room in his dwelling house along with a "decent annual maintenance" to be provided by his son Ebenezer; to his son Ebenezer, his heirs and assigns forever, he gave all his real and personal estate of whatever name or nature forever, and instructed Ebenezer to pay all the debts, funeral charges and other bequests named in the will; to each of his three daughters, Sarah Hall, Betsey Warren and Zilpah Bolton, he gave $20, and to his grandson Nathan Snow, he gave $1, stating again that all were to be paid by his son Ebenezer.5,6

Family
Father*William Hooper1 b. 3 Nov 1658, d. 8 Aug 1692
Mother*Susanna Shed1 b. 28 Dec 1662
(Daughter) Relationship NoteMitchell's 1840 Bridgewater History speculated that sisters Elizabeth Hooper and Ruth Hooper might have been the sisters of John Hooper. At the time this was likely a logical guess since Elizabeth and Ruth both appeared in Bridgewater as young women and not long after John's purchase of land there. Later research has confirmed to our satisfaction that they were actually the nieces of John Hooper of Bridgewater and the daughters of John's brother William Hooper of Reading who had died a few years before.1,2 
Birth*8 July 1689Elizabeth Hooper was born on 8 July 1689.1 
Marriage*12 February 1706/7She married Enoch Leonard, son of John Leonard and Sarah __?__, on 12 February 1706/7 in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).3,1,4 
Research Notes*23 November 1720 Mitchell's Bridgewater History incorrectly, in this researcher's opinion, stated that Elizabeth (Hooper) Leonard, the widow of Enoch Leonard, married second in 1720 James Washburn Jr. who actually married another Elizabeth Leonard, daughter of Josiah and Marjoram Leonard, in Bridgewater on 23 November 1720.5 
(Wife) Deathbetween 16 September 1757 and 19 October 1757Elizabeth became a widow when Enoch Leonard died between 16 September 1757 and 19 October 1757.3 
Will*19 October 1757There is a will of Enoch Leonard of Mendham, Morris County, New Jersey, signed on 16 September 1757, probated on 19 October 1757, leaving to wife Elizabeth "all my estate in New England". It names grandson John Arnold, who was not of age, and appointed Robert Arnold to be his executor. Although this is probably the will of our Enoch, it is not proved to be so.3

Father*Thomas Hooper1 b. c 1712
Mother*Ann __?__1
Birth*7 August 1757Ezekiel was probably born on 7 August 1757 in the church at Milford, Worcester County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England). The Hooper source noted two different baptismal dates, in the same church, three years apart for Ezekiel and it may be that the earlier date was supposed to represent his birth.2 
Baptism11 May 1760He was baptized in the church at Milford, Worcester County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England), shortly before his family began their journey to relocate in Annapoiis County, Nova Scotia on 6 May 1760. However, the date noted in the baptismal record is 11 May 1760.2 
(Son) Relocation1760Ezekiel Hooper moved with his parents in 1760 to Bridgetown, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia Province, Canada.3 
Biographical Info* He married twice, the surname of his first wife Wilson, and that of his second wife was not known by the source. Ezekiel was a farmer and was in the Annapolis militia from 12 Nov to 18 Dec 1776 for the defense of the Province of Nova Scotia from the "invasion" they feared from the Revolutionists in New England.3

Family
Father*William Hooper1 b. c 1617, d. 5 Dec 1678
Mother*Ruth __?__;

From a timing standpoint, Hannah could have been the daughter of William's first wife Elizabeth or his second wife Ruth. Ruth Hooper, according to the source, signed a document for the relinquishment of her dower on 14 Dec 1664, so had likely married William prior to that date. No assignment of any of the children's mother was provided in the source, and our assignments have not yet been proven, although Hannah's mother may be the most uncertain. In this project Hannah has been "assigned" to Ruth, our rationale resting solely on the number of years between the births of the children; three before Hannah and two after1
Birth*31 March 1662Hannah Hooper was born on 31 March 1662.1 
Marriage*20 April 1682She married William Ballard of Andover on 20 April 1682.1
