Hooper, with his family, worshipped until 1766, in the South Parish, in the church of his childhood, where his wife's father was ruling elder, and his own father was a deacon. In this church all of his children were christened. It is a tradi- tion in the family that in pleasant weather they walked to the church, a distance of five miles; and, when the snow was too deep, they were taken on an ox-sled. When Mr. Hooper built his house, his farm was surrounded by Indians, with whom he always lived ...on friendly terms.
