HOOPERS from Somerset to USA and Canada.
Looking for ancestors of brothers Jesse, William Samuel, and George HOOPER who emigrated to USA and Canada from Somerset, Eng. in late 1850's to early 1860's. Two other brothers James and John emigrated to Australia in 1859?.
George is said to have become Under Secretary to the Secretary in World War 1 and one of his grandsons visited Queensland, Australia during W W 2 as a Rear Admiral in the US Navy. One of the brothers is said to have been a well known breeder of Hereford cattle in the US.
