Samuel was born about 1843. He is the son of John Hooker and Jane Vercoe.
No NZ birth or death. Thinking he was born after 1842 as the family arrived in New Plymouth February 24th 1842 and Charles was 3 months. So Jane may just have been pregnant, but it's unlikely Samuel was born that year.
Possible reference to him? "...to the Settlers of New Plymouth.
