HOOPER COURT RECORDS

Chancery file # 69
Hooper - Petition for sale of slave

Jesse Jordon, guardian of the petitioners

“The petition of Fanny Hooper, Huldy Hooper, Jesse Hooper, William Hooper, Araminta Hooper and F. Marion Hooper and James Hooper infant children of tender years and children of Churchill Hooper of Davidson County by their next friend and uncle Jesse Jordan a citizen of Davidson County shows unto your honor that in the year 1835 their Grand Mother Jane _ Hooper made a deed of gift to them for a Negro slave named Winney…”  signed Jesse Jordan 
Sworn to and subscribed before me Arpil 20th 1844 Benjamin Sharpe J. P. Davidson County Tennessee

Churchill Hoopers children of Jane T. Hooper Registered February 23rd 1835
“I Jane Hooper of Davidson County & State of Tennessee doth for the love good will & affection which I bear to my grandchildren the heirs & children of my son Churchill Hooper & a valuable consideration to me in had paid the receipt where of is hereby acknowledged hath given granted bargained & sold unto the aforesaid children & heirs of the aforesaid Churchill Hooper forever a certain Negro girl a bright mulatto named Winney a slave for life…”  Signed by her mark Jane T. Hooper 15 August 1834, witnesses Geo. W. C. Lovell, Jas. Lovell

Deposition of Jno. Robertson sworn to before Benjamin Sharpe J.P. May 4, 1844

“I am acquainted with Churchill Hooper & his family.  They reside from my fathers about two miles, he is a man of small property & his children are numerous, two girls his oldest children about 12 & 14 years of age, and able to assist their mother.  The others are small and unable to assist her.  He resides in Davidson, he is a singular man of wild habits, sometimes goes from home & remains away without making any provisions for his family, takes no control of the slave Winney, permits her to go away from home & she frequently does, & then takes no means to correct her.  Winney could if she would be useful, she is able bodied, but has the habit of going off at will, remaining away as long as she likes, she has a small boy child.  I do not think her of use to the family.  I think a slave or slaves might be purchased who would be of great value to his wife & children.

  1. Hello: I have been doing a little research on the property on 2914 Dickerson Pike, Nashville TN where the Congress Inn Motel is located. I found that Claiborne Young Hooper was the original owner of this plantation property. It is said to be haunted from the Civil War times as it was used as a hospital for the war victims.

  2. The house now used for the Congress Inn was built on property that once belonged to Claiborne Hooper, but this was not his house. It was the home of one of his daughters, Huldah Hooper Hart. Huldah Hooper Hart and her husband Henry Hart built the house in the late 1860's, after the war had ended. In later years it belonged to Mrs. Mary Lee Vaughn. Claiborne Hooper's house was nearby and burned sometime after his death in 1848. Another daughter, Mrs. Phillips built a mansion at the former site of the Claiborne Y. Hooper home. She called her home Hillhurst.

  3. Hello: I am doing research on my Great Grandmother's paternal Hooper line. My 5th Great Grandfather Grandison Hooper was mulatto boy born to black slave girl named Milla or Milly according to the will from Ennis Hooper to his daughter Helen Hooper and son-in-law Anthony Durden. It's assumed Grandison Hooper's father was Ennis Hooper of Davidson, TN. I'm curious about if there were any records on a plantation house in White Creek.

  4. If you are looking for a location that might be in deed records. Metro Nashville Archives has deed records on microfilm as well as the Tennessee State Library and Archives. Both are located in downtown Nashville. You should be able to find contact information with a Google search. DNA testing may help you to find other descendants of Ennis Hooper.
