Notes:

Name:
He graduated from Harvard College, 1700. He was the first Farmington born man who received a college education. After his father's death he was invited to fill his place as minister, but declined. He studied medicine and was licensed to practice. He became the first Tutor of Yale College. He soon resigned his tutorship in favor of rev. John Hart (who subsequently married his niece) was graduated from Yale in 1703, nominally the second, but really the first actual student to graduate. He was the first B.A. of Yale.

After leaving the college Mr. Hooker settled at Wethersfield as a physician, and continued to practice there until his death. He studied law and was admitted to the bar but there is no evidence that he ever practice law, and the supposition is hat he studied it only hat he might be useful to his patients in making wills and otherwise. Dr. Hooker was surgeon of the expedition against Canada in 1711.
