Abstract:
William Hooper was a native of Massachusetts. He came to North Carolina as a young lawyer in 1764 and later married Anne Clark of Wilmington. He became an ardent supporter of independence from England and is one of three North Carolinians who signed the Declaration of Independence. His support of independence was not without cost, and his home, his fortune, and his health were lost in the interest of the new nation.
