In Goodwin's Pioneer History of Cortland Co. it is said: "Increase M. Hooker was a native of Bennington, Vt. He was with Ethan Allen during a part of the Revolution, and witnessed the terrible conflict at Bennington, Aug. 16, 1777: He married in Litchfield, Conn., and some years after moved to Greene Co., N. Y., In 1797 he moved to Solon, on lot 88, and the next year came to Truxton, and settled on lot 94. . . . . . . . In 1812 he removed to New Jersey. In 1848 he visited his son in Illinois, and on his return died at Onondaga Hollow." In the Hooker Family it is said that he was born in Woodbury, Ct., Nov. 4, 1765, and married Lois Wilcox, who died in Truxton, N. Y., in 1813. His name is not in the Vermont rolls, which are even more defective than others, but if he was with Ethan Allen he was sure to see service..
