Notes for Armblin (Armon) Brown Hooks: NOTE: In the various records, Anselm Hooks is usually noted as A. B. Hooks. I have also found him referenced as Anselm, Anselom, Armblin, Asmblin and Armond. All of the different records have references that indicate the named person is one and the same as found under different spellings on different records. I personally feel that they all indicate the same individual with any variances in the spelling due to individual interpretations of the handwritten name, however, there is the chance that they do not. Further research is needed for absolute verification.
FAMILY LORE
In 1850, A. B. Hooks and new wife Miranda were living next door to A. B.'s mother in Simpson County, Mississippi.
In 1860, A. B. Hooks and family were, apparently, sharing a house with the family of Mary Hall, age 49, and her five children somewhere around Williamsburg, Covington County, Mississippi. However, upon looking at the families following A. B. Hooks I found that the numbering of households went from 81 to 83, skipping family 82. Since I can find no apparent relationship between the Hall and Hooks families I believe that the fact that both the Hall and Hooks families were listed as living in dwelling 80 is a mistake. I believe that the Hooks family should have been Dwelling 81 and the family listed as living in Dwelling 81, the M(c)Lains, should actually be the missing number 82 dwelling.
In 1870 A. B. Hooks and family were living on the Mount Carmel Beat in Covington County, Mississippi.
In 1880 Armblin Hooks and children were living on Beat 4, Mount Carmel, Covington County, Mississippi. His mother, sister Rebecca and son James and family were living with him. Everyone in the family, except Lucy, Andrew and Alice were illiterate. Also boarding with the family was 14 year old Belle McLain who was employed on the farm.
Armon Hooks was living with the family of Sophia Dickins on Beat 4, Covington County, Mississippi in June 1900. His son Jasper lived next door.
