Notes
My grandmother, Frances Letitia Clunan, told me about her g grandfather, Michael Hooter, in the summer of 1943. She knew little about him. She seemed to be in 'awe' of him. For a certainty he was a rough character, born in the swamps of Louisiana, a young soldier at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815, a well known bear hunter in Louisiana and Mississippi, and lastly a communicant of the Methodist Church.
The following children were alive at the time their father's estate was probated in 1870: Massa Hooter Myers, Rosanna Hooter Potter, Sarah L. Hooter Rosenberg, James Nathaniel Hooter, Letitia Jane Hooter Reid Martin (the widow of Matthew Reid), Annis M. Hooter Hamberlin, Mary C. Hooter Brannin.
Yazoo County Deed Book C, Page 605 shows Michael Hooter as Member of Board of Police (Board of Supervisors) as of April 26, 1838. It appears that he arrived in Yazoo Co., from Jefferson Co., Mississippi, about 1829.
Book H. mentions that Hooter mortgages land for stock in MANCHESTER AND BENTON RAILROAD, 1838.
Marriage records show: William Hooter marr Maria L. Howard 1-8-1854 James W. Brannin marr M. E. Hooter, Feb 1, 1858 Sarah Sayers marr Louis Rosenberg, Feb 13, 1855 James T. Hooter marr Sarah Peers, Mar 7, 1866 James N. Hooter marr Sarah F. Gallie Dec. 20, 1875 Sarah Hooter m Wm R. Sayers, March 23, 1850 Mary Hooter m Batson Munden on Feb 3, 1848 Jane Hooter, dau of James m Wm Monroe Dec 12 1849
Sarah Ann Hooter, 2nd wife of Michael Hooter died 3/17/1854. Vol XXV Oct 1969, Miss. Historical Journal.
See the book LOUISIANA SWAMP DOCTOR for additional details on the Hooter Family.
U. S. Archives show MICHAEL, LOUIS AND JOHN HOOTER to be at the Battle of New Orleans, WAr of 1812. Harold Fisher is a member of the SOCIETY OF WAR OF 1812, on the strength of Michael's record. U. S. Archives states that MICHAEL HOOTER as a member of Capt. Patterson Co. of Louisiana Militia. He was on payroll fro Jan 8 to March 31, 1815. The Battle of New Orleans occurred during this time.
Michael first appears on Yazoo County tax rolls in 1833, with 2 white polls and 6 slaves. In 1840 he is shown with 3 whites and 10 slaves. By 1850 he had 18 slaves. His wife is SARAH A HOOTER, 38, born in LA. Tax roles of 1857 show 25 slaves.
The 1860 Census show him as having $15,600.00 worth of Real Estate and $27,670.00 in Personal Estate. This were enormous sums in those days. His wife is shown as Nancy Hooter, 54, born in GA, and son Michael, Jr 13, and W. Windham 28, laborer (not a member of family)
This Michael Hooter was a charter member of the Mt. Olive Methodist Church which was organized in the mid 1850s. He required all of his household servants and slaves to attend evening prayer services which he held at the back door of his house. (This was described to H. Fisher by his grandmother, Mrs. Clunan) A small dinner bell was used to call the backyard slaves to the prayer service. We still have the bell. From METHODISM IN THE MISSISSIPPI CONFERENCE by Dr. Cain states: A new church was built in the summer of 1851 for the use of the members of the Mount Olivet Church. The prperty was deeded on July 5, 1851 by Elihu Wasson and Sarah, his wife, to Michael Hooter, H. H. Foster, Monroe Hamberlin, J. N. Hooter and Alexander McLeod, trustees for the use of the Methodist Church.
He was widely known as a hunter. A retired minister (Dr. Corley) living at Satartia, MS (about 1954) pointed out to H. Fisher, a mussling-loading gun belonging to one of his ancestors. He said that this gun was used to save the life of Mike Hooter, who had been attacked by a bear.
At the time of the Civil War, Mr. Hooter owned HOOTER'S INN, a large brick building situated at Mechanicsburg, Yazoo County. He lived in the village, but his plantation was several miles to the west, on the Yazoo River. There was a steamboat landing at his plantation and appears on river maps as THE HOOTER SETTLEMENT. The Inn and every other building in Mechanicsburg was burned on June 4, 1863 by a marauding Yankee raiding party.
About this time, or before, Mr. Hooter had co-signed a note of a friend, a minister. Shortly afterward the man fled the country. Hooter succeeded in preventing foreclosure in an attempt to pay off the note. The subsequent loss of all his slaves made repayment impossible. On his death bed in 1867, he advised his surviving children to give up the struggle to save the land. It appears that probation of the estate in 1870 gave little or nothing to the heirs. We are not sure where M. Hooter was buried. Possibly at the Presbyterian Church Cemetery which subsequently washed away. There were a few graves there when H. Fisher first saw them in 1943. My grandmother related all of the above events.
All dates can be found in copy of Hooter Bible Records.
Mr. Hooter was so well known as a bear-hunter, that several newspaper writers chose him to represent a character they developed who resembled John Bunyon and other such personalities. Judge Robert Bowman wrote several articles for the Mississippi Historical Society about Yazoo County. He described one William C. Hall, who was a writer and lived in Yazoo County. Mr. Hall had heard many stories about Mr. Hooter and he embossed upon these and they were circulated all over the country.
Mr. Hall wrote one article describing a real event concerning a lady's bustle, which had just come into fashion. The lady was at a revival meeting. This lady and the events dealt with Michael Hooter's daughter "Sally" or Sarah Hooter.
The Hooter Family was not the only ones who were angry with Mr. Hall. Judge Bowman says that Mr. Hall was forced to move to New Orleans, where the father of the lady followed and threatened to thrash him. Somehow Mr. Hall escaped.
Shortly after the War, Mr. Hall returned to Yazoo Co., where he accidentally met Mr. Hooter on a public road. The old man leaped from his horse and seized the younger man. Both had been impoverished by the recent war, and the fight ended in peace. The writings were first published in the New Orleans TRUE DELTA.
Dr. Henry Clay Lewis was another Yazoo writer who wrote about Hooter.
