Hooker, Elnathan, 1749 - 1822
Elnathan Hooker (1749-Novemeber 20, 1822) was the son of Roger Hooker and Anna Kellogg of Farmington, Connecticut. A farmer, he also served as a constable and surveyor of highways for the town of Farmington. In 1776, he and his brother Roger purchased property at Congee from Elijah Wampey and Cornelius Indian. From then he resided in the Wampey house, and for a few years operated the "Hawley Sawmill."
Hooker also bought land and a house from Sarah Wampey and received a deed from the committee for the sale of Tunxis lands. Sarah kept possession of the house and garden and Hooker had possession of the land. He worried that he might not have properly obtained a complete legal title to the property and in 1790 petitioned the General Assembly that the deed be validated.
