He was raised by Mr Lovell at the age of 7 years old, like to know more before this at the age of 15 he entered Harvard University he had other children, This information I have says Compilation of Published Sources (84,206,892 record's) This collection includes a compilation of thousands of Public books ranging from family, local and Military histories, city and county directories, School, University and hospital reports, church and congratulational minutes and much more All record's include image's of the books Pages. We are continually growing this collection, this is the place I got this information saying that my 5TH GREAT GRANDFATHER ABSALOM HOOPER REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIER is a son of the signer sorry if I yelled to loud, lol, but I have been to the Sylva Jackson County Society Library and to the Grave talked to hundreds of people doing research and can only find a very few saying Absalom, is not a son with the information I have up top this is the other children the signer may have had, ( Acneas, Andrew, Clemmons S, Cynthia, Daniel Boone, Elizabeth, Gilliam (Gilum) & Matilda ) now records have evidently are out of Elizabeth Clemmons being a wife of the Signer or at least some of these children's mother , If this man is my Grandfather I would like to know more and if not can someone show me proof that he isn't, and if anyone knows anything about the Hooper / Mayo connection out of Virginia in the 1600'S this maybe another connection and the Zachary family , Thank's
