George HOOPER of Buckingham County

I have found that the George HOOPER on pages 204 through 206 of "So Obscure A Person,” signed a Virginia Religious Petition in Buckingham County to silence non-juring preachers. This petition was dated 7 December 1780, and the signature of Joseph HOOPER appears also, along with his STINSON first cousins, David, George and Cary STINSON.

On pages 66 and 67, of the above book is an image of David STINSON's signature on the petition and more information about the 1780 petition.

The original scan of this petition, including all of the signatures may be viewed at the Library of Congress web site: Early Virginia Religious Petitions.
