There appears to be a large difference in the birthda.tee of Ann Looker, 1776, and the next previously identified child of Jau.es, Grace b 1?83, thus leaving room for Thou.as b cl778.

Artie in La.ncaster(Ohio)Ee.gle-Gazette Sesquic~ntennial Edition, JuneJ,1950, Section H, p 29, said thB -the Dovels had built all the old brick houses around Piokerill8ton. " ••East of the village atop the hill on Route 256 is the 1home place' built just a century ago. The bricks were formed frc clay south of the house, burned in a kiln, then carried up the hill and the house built. (low owned by grandson Charles Dovel, Manistee,Mich.) West of Pickerington, Jacob Dovel built about 1866 a·· large brick house with circular stairs winding up to the cupola. This was for daughter Lucinda (now owned by l~.R.Hansen). Two daughters were xr.arried in a double ceremony to the BoweI brothers •• arou.nd 187S. Jacob fitted the~ with brick houses and far~s on the Refugee Road west of Rou.te 256. Florence received the corner place (Graceland, now owned by granddaughter, Mrs. O.C.Belt). The west far~ was given Virginia lPerry Smith ~resent owner). Frank Dovel received B farn and brick house south of Pickerington on Waterloo Road about 1880. (His daughters Mrs.Rost Xallies and Miss May Dovel live there). Finally, Jacob Dovel was so instrucenta.l in building t} TJ.~.Church on east edge of Pickerington in 1883 that it is na.n:ed Dovel Memorial. Other Dovel~ \ iilt four other brick houses on farms about.Pickerington; so you're safe to bet about Picker~ ington: 1 If it's an old brick, Dovel built it, 1 And the brick CBJr,e from 'the ho~e place on the 111 hill by the Indian Jr.ound. • 9 children: 2CJcl. hdelaide 1837-1838 b and d in Pickerington A r 1 2c3c2.

Looker family tradition backed by her research that "there werE two Looker brothers who ca~e early to the Shenandoah Valley. One was a ~rosperous farmer who wai ,,onstantly acquiring ir.ore land. The other one was a teamster who owned very g,ood hor~es and wag· ~~s. and carried loads of lun.ber and other ir.erchandise through the Valley to Roanoke, Atlanta, ~/or Pennsylvania. Our family bas a cow bell said to have been used on these tri~s to warn otl vehicles that someone was coming up or down the mountain on the other side. (Thomas Looker the Quaker a1JPB.rently was prosperous, and there is nuch evidence that he bought land often. There w~ a John Looker there at the same time with no record of his owning land. He could have been the tea.1r.s ter. ) " John could have had eons or grandsons? the right age to have served in the Revolutionary War. On the tax list of 1789 is Thomas, and listed se-pa.rately John Lokey with sons Thomas and James. This Jr!USt be J.John rather than Thomas "Quaker"'e son 2B.John because the latter so fa~ is not known to have had a son named James. The 1790 Census (reconstructed for Virginia) lists John Lookey in Rockingham ~o. Thomas Lookey j RockiJ1€ham Co., and Jamee Lokey in Shenandoah Co. Thou.as was in the same hau.sehold with his son John (according to the will Thomas wrote in 1?94). J.John was probably also living with sons, i1 alive. Was the James in Shenandoah ~o. 2C.JaJnes the "Quaker". or another James 'Perhaps the ~ro genitor of some of the nwr.erous unidentified Lookers listed at the end of this compilation? In the Index to 1810 Census of Virginia the families of Lokey in Rockinghatt County are:on Roll 22-John; on Roll 25-Sarah. John. William; on Roll 27-Marga.rat, James. l???) Nellie Burns' father said hle father's fa.Itily was the first generation in which the oldest son of the fan:ily had not been named John since the family caUie to America. Perhaps in generations where' it is known a younger son was nan:ed John, there had been a first baby who died who was named John and then the parents used the name again. On the strength of that Looker family tra dition space will be left for a John in JD.Thomas Looker,Sr.'s and for one in JDl.Thonae Jr's generations. This tradition could also indicate that J.John is older tba.n 2.Thoma.a the Quaker. : )A.

L'l• It is still uncertain exactly who the ancestry of JDl.Thoma.a Looker who married Sarah Reeve 1a. Is -page5or -page 25 correct~ In sup-port of JDl.Thomaa in fact having different ancestry from the children of 2.ThoD'l&e Looker. "The Quaker": Firat:Nellie Burns' father said the family was in Elizabethtown, N.J. immediately after the Re~ olutionary War. ThoJr.a.a "Quaker" was well established in the Shenandoah Valley long before the Rev.War. So ~aybe JDl.Thomaa was descended from a Looker who came to Rockingham Go. JIUCh later. Second:Another ~oasibility-Bo1&tt data tells about a Thomae Looker d cl724 who m Francia Aequit lived St.Mary County, Maryland and had sons Thoma.a and William. Son Thomas received inheritance froni about three different sources, was ea.me age as Thomas the Quaker and she aaya "The Ma.ryl&l'I land would have been close to one of the uAin routes to the Valley." This Thoma.a could be the anceater. Third: In the 1700 1 & and 1800 1 s it seemed to be almost an ironclad custom for -parents to give their children famil.7 namea, with the first children receiving the nau.ea of their grand-parents usua113. Also aa the paternal famil.J' name was ~reserved thrQU&h the generations aa the la.at name, the namee of the maternal lines were ver7 much preserved in the children's first names. For example see the namea of children of all the daughters of 2C.Jamea "Qlaker11 Looker. From Boyatt data.:•1aoa Apr 20. Original minutea:Arch1ba.ld Loker, orphan of Thomas Loker dee, came into court and Jr&de choice of Henry March aa his guardian who is also appointed guardian for Darcus, David, Thoma.a, Poll7, John, and William Loker, children of t»e said Thomas Loker deed, who with security entered into bond aa the law directa. 9 (March is someti~es Martz.) Thia along with records of ad.ministration of )Dl.Thomaa' estate,verifiea the names of...the ycnmger children of Thomas and Sarah. Records indicate the7 also had a daughter Margaret who 'Perba;pa died before her father. Three -or four- of these given names, Archibald, Dorcas, David and Mar garet, are nau.ea that records so far indicate were never used by the known descendants of 2.'l'hom Looker "Quaker." Thia CO\lld all be Sarah Reeves' influence, or could establish that her huaban JDl.Thomae had ao~ewhat different ancestry from the descendants of 2.Thoma.a. Sarah's -parents jj,i «ere John and Margaret. Did the n&Jrea Archibald, Dorcas and David come from her ancestors or Thomaa 1 1 Finding earlier occurrences of these natces in families in the Shenandoah Va!le7 could help fill in missing anceetors.

(Thi1 is certainly true. Sonietlmes all three forms or the name were used on one page. or a legal document! It vas also written Lucar, Lucre, and Luker, in :;,.w Jersey and in England. The earliest spelling I could !ind is Lucar.) 2. The Lookers are troai London, England, and carne to the Shenandoah Valley by was ot New Jersey. · (T31.s seems to be true. There were Lookers in Sudbury, Massachusetts, in 1639. Our line seems to begin "1th one \dllia111 Looker, brewer, Who sold land in Ja:iaica, Long Island, in 1676, and was an original proprietor or Elizabeth, New Jersey. Tbis Wllliam Looker's daughter, Ann, married Benjamn Wade on Long Island about 1670, so he was probabl.r there mw:h earlier than 1676.) ). The Lookers vere originall1 Quakers, then Dunkards, and then Oniversalists. (This is all true. The im.:dgrant Lookers in Massachusetts vare associated with Roger Wllliams~ tnon !ell out with biM, and for a while were Seventh Day Baptists in Newport, Rhode Island. the early Lookers in D.izabetb, :iev -'ersey, were Presbyterians. the pioneer ot the tamil..r in t_he Shenandoah Valley was re!erred to in many court record.s be!ora a.nd alter 1800 as "'thoma.s Looker 1 the Qua..1cer".

The Bethlehem L: Church in Tentb Legion was a "!ree" church until 1851,. used b3" Dun..t 4.· The Lookers once gave some land to the city or London to be ~sed as a park. It it is ever not u.sed as a park, it is to revert to the Looker heirs. (Sounds like a tall story, but I have tound that Lookers did ~nee own a great deal ot propei:t.r in "old London''. In 1557 one Thomas Tru:n.bull, a pro~perous ··tish :nerchant, le!t it to his daughter Johane, who had narried E:nmanuel Lucar.) S. There were tbree or four Looker brothers who served in the Revolutionary ilar ~with General Washington". (Oid.'l't everybody?) Our branch or the !a.!ldly had a sword which our ancestor used in.the Revolution. (There were several Lookers - by whatever spelling - vho served in the Revolution trom New Jersey and from Vi~ginia. Haven't been able to prove a connection yet.) Our ta:nily is related to Othniel Looker, the only Revolutionary soldier to serve as Governor or Ohio. He was speaker or the senate when Governor Meigs resigned in 1814, and completed the unexpired ter:n. He ran in the next election. but was de!eated by Thomas 'Worthington. (At the moment, it appears that Othniel's father and Thomas the Quaker's father were brothers. We are getting close!) 1111 LOOKER FAMILY TRADITI.ONS (page two) 1. Tbat there were two Looker brothers who ca.me early to the Shenandoah Valley. One ~. was a prosperous far~er who was constantly acquiring more land. The other one was a teamster Who owned very good horses and wagons, and carried loads 0£ lU1'11ber and other merchandise through the Valley to Roanoke, Atlanta.. and/or Pennsylvania. Our tami.11 has a cow bell said to have been used on these trips to warn .otber vebicles t~at someone was condng up or down the moWltain on the oth~r side. (Thomas Looker the Quaker apparently was prosperous, and there is much evidence tha.t he bought land often. There was a John Looker there at the same time with no record of bis owning land. He could have been t~e teAJllster.) 8. That the Lookers once owned so~e land in "Elizabethtown, New Jersey" (it vas cal19d that antU about 176o) and because ot some dispute over their claim, they had given up and moved to Virginia. Our tolks said that when they le Ct Virginia (1854) tb~t they vent first to New Jersey to see it they could claim their land, or receive money tor it. (The Lookers were indeed early settlers ot Eliza.beth, and bought more propert1 until just prior to the death 0£ one William Looker (called & vintner) in 1?17. In 171.8 "the town books were cra.ttily stole" atter it waa discovered that two agents ot the British crown vere selling the same land twice. In 1729 the original owners and/br their descendants hired lawyers and surveyors to prove their righttuJ. ownership. This agreement was signed by one Thomas Lucor, who ve hope is our Thomas the Quaker: ·.'. ;(" . .) 0 Also, I tound a record or· some kind ot. controversy over the land in E:Lizabeth whictl reads as tollow:s: · · Index to Uber C (1740-1752) Essex County Court Minutes John Looker 4-0/.45 conEJ,, William Look'!r 44/51, v J,ucar 42/4J cona (Genealogical.
