Reminiscences to the year 1857 . ronze tablet on the grave of Col. CharlesHooks in the Molton family burying grounds on LaurelHill, now Elmore County, Alabama, and wanted me tobe present but I could not go. The tablet was placedand a few of the family were present at the ceremony. I have a letter from Henry F. Wiatt, of recent date,in which he states that his mother, now over 80 years ofage, was Josephine Mason, married John F. Wiatt, ofLivingston, and her mother was a Whitfield, who mar-ried a Hooks. It seems that her sister married a Hun-ter, thereby connecting Hunter and Hooks as firstcousins. In one of the cemeteries in Mobile, on a tombstone,there is engraved, Charles Hooks, died 1871, 89 yearsof age. Lived eleven years with his wife and had oneson. I cannot reconcile this Charles Hooks with theother Charles Hooks, my great grandfather and his sonand grand sons. Thomas Hooks, father of Col. CharlesHooks, had a brother, William, and I imagine that theCharles Hooks buried in Mobile Cemetery was a son ofthat Catherine Adele Murphy—Age, five years. Thomas Hooks, whose will is printed in my book(page 140), had a large family and from him descendedmany children, grand-children, and great grand-children,scattered all over the South. All those with whom Ihave come in contact, were very respectable and someof them more or less distinguished in the different walksof life. In addition to the Charles Hooks, who died in 1871,age 89, already referred to, I find, from the records ofthe Mobile Health Department, that there were buriedin the Mobile cemeteries, the following: Charles H. Hooks, age 28 years, died Jan. 10, 1891. Laura Hooks, age 38 years, died Jan. 17, 1891. S. W. D. Hooks, age 64 years, died Sept. 6, 1881. Martha W. Hooks, age 26 years, died Jan. 26, 1884. Sarah M. Hooks, age 27 years, died Aug. 25, 1879. Cath
