Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Biographical Sketch of Eight Generations of Hoopers in America
It is probable that the surname of Hooper was first used in England about the year 1275. There is no record to show that it is older than this date. Whether the name was originally derived from a trade, as Bowditch claims in his Origin of New England Family Names, is not now known.
