HOOPER FAMILIES CALSTOCK
The earliest John Hooper of this line who has been traced so far came from St Budeaux, Devon. Two of his sons, John and Francis, moved up the river to
Bere Ferrers where they married and had families. John Hooper son of Francis Hooper then moved to Calstock and became the first known Hooper in Calstock.
