Notes:
He was an ironworker, a gunsmith by trade. In early life he shipped on a whaling vessel and was wrecked on the Sandwich Islands, where his skill in ironwork saved his life. But he was guarded whenever a vessel was in port so that he could not escape for quite a length of time. He at length succeeded
in getting away and returning home. The time and place of his death are not known to his descendants.
From Hooper Genealogy:
2. Joseph (John, John, John, John, William), born at Bridgewater, Dec. 24, 1780; married at Duxbury, March 15, 181 1, Jerusha, daughter of Cornelius and Jerusha (Bryant) Ellis, born at Middleborough, April 19, 1781, died at Bridgewater,
Jan. 20, 1870.
He was an ironworker, a gunsmith by trade. In early life he shipped on a whaling vessel and was wrecked on the Sandwich Islands, where his skill in ironwork saved his life. But he was guarded whenever a vessel was in port so that he could not escape for quite a length of time. He at length succeeded in getting away and returning home. The time and place of his death are not known to his descendants.
Birth:
There is a note in the Bridgewater list of births for
"Jerusha, w. Joseph Hooper, Apr 19, 1783" that is cited from a private record group.
The Compiled Birth, Marriage, and Death transcription lists him as Job. I suspect that is a transcription error.
Census:
There are three Joseph Hoopers and a John Hooper in Bridgewater in 1830. I believe that means dad, son, uncle, and grandson.
Enumeration (Joseph Hooper 2nd): 0010001-0001001
Enumeration (John Hooper): 00001001-000000001
Enumeration (Joseph Hooper): 000010001-00001
Enumeration (Joseph Hooper Jr): 000001-100001
So, I am not certain which of these 3 is Joseph, but one I believe is.
Died:
Jerusha is listed as a head of household in the 1840 census, implying that she is widowed. By 1850, she is listed as a widow.Joseph married Jerusha Ellis on 15 May 1811 in Duxbury, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. Jerusha (daughter of Cornelius Ellis and Jerusha Bryant) was born on 19 Apr 1781 in Middleboro, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States; died on 20 Jan 1870 in Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States; was buried in Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States.

Notes:
Clara, Carrie, Clarissa may all end up being the same person. More research is needed. However, in the 1880 census, Carrie is listed in household of her parents, but Clara is listed on her own as a shoe stitcher.
It looks like Clara and Clarissa are the same with different birth dates listed.
Clara and Anson took Rotha Ross in. She is found in there house in 1910.
Birth:
Sometimes seen as Jan 1853 vs. Jun 1850. Possibly Clara and Clarissa are different.
Census:
I am skeptical of the ages given in the 1900 Census. When Anson and Clara married in 1882, he was listed as 25 and she as 32 years old. Now, the nine years between them have narrowed to only three.
She reports that she has had a single child and that that child is still alive in 1900.Clarissa married Anson Witherell Jenkins on 22 Apr 1882 in East Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. Anson (son of Caleb Morton Jenkins and Jane Parsons Northey) was born on 17 Jun 1858 in Scituate, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States; died on 6 Aug 1939 in Brockton, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States; was buried in East Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States.
