The Reverend Thomas Hooker led his congregation through the woods, to found Hartford, Connecticut. was a prominent Puritan colonial leader, who founded the Colony of Connecticut after dissenting with Puritan leaders in Massachusetts. He was known as an outstanding speaker and a leader of universal Christian suffrage. A staunch supporter of universal Christian suffrage (voting rights independent of church membership), Hooker was a renowned theologian and orator who greatly shaped the early development of colonial New England.
He entered Emanuel College, Cambridge in 1604. He received his B.A. in 1608, the degree of M. A. in 1611 and entering upon a divinity course, he was elected a Fellow of the College. He left the college before completing the first course and receiving the degree of B. D. There are many reasons supposing that he went from the college direct to Chelmsford and remained their until being silenced, arrested and placed under bonds to appear before the Ecclesiastical Court, he fled to Holland. Came to New England on ship "Griffin" 1633.
Called today “the Father of Connecticut,” Thomas Hooker was a towering figure in the early development of colonial New England. He was one of the great preachers of his time, an erudite writer on Christian subjects, the first Puritan minister of Cambridge, Massachusetts, one of the first settlers of Connecticut and the chief founder of Hartford, Conn. In 1639 he was cited by many as the inspiration for the "Fundamental Orders of Connecticut," cited by some as the world's first written democratic constitution that established a representative government.

The Garbrand family are descendants of a Garbrand [given name] Harkes [surname] from Holland. The name was changed to Garbrand as the surname, but sometimes known as Garbrand alias Harkes, or Harkes alias Garbrand, with spelling variations.

Susan, born about 1593; mentioned in the will of her brother John Garbrand in 1618, as living and not having received her portion of her parents' estates.

After her mother's death in 1609, she probably lived awhile with her childless aunt, Mrs. Christian (Garbrand) Chaloner, wife of Rev. Robert Chaloner, D.D., rector of Amersham, co. Bucks. From this association a few years later she became "waiting-gentlewoman" to Mrs. Joane (Tothill) Drake, who was the eldest of the thirty-three children of William Tothill, Esq., lord of the Manor of Shardeloes in Amersham, and had married in 1603 Franceis Drake, Esq. of Esher, co. Surrey, a suburb of London.

While living in this household Susan Garbrand became acquainted with Rev. Thomas Hooker, who in 1620 became curate of Esher and "had his diet and lodging" in Mr. Drake's house.

The statement that Hooker's wife was the waiting-gentlewoman of Mrs. Drake appears in a little contemporary book entitled "Trodden down Strength by the God of Strength or Mrs. Drake Revived." Mrs. Drake died 18 April 1625.

The will of Francis Drake, Esq., dated 13 March 1633/4 gave to "Joanna Hooker, now in New England, 30 pounds at her day of marriage"; she was the eldest child of Rev. Thomas Hooker and goddaughter of Mrs. Drake.

Rev. Thomas Hooker and Susan Garbrand were married at Amersham, co. Bucks, 3 April 1621 by her aunt's husband, Rev. Robert Chaloner, D.D. rector of that parish.

Thomas Hooker [abt 1553-1635], Rev. Thomas Hooker's father, was the grandson of Thomas Hooker [abt 1500 - 1562 ] of Blaston, Leicestershire. Some family trees have his as the son of John Hooker, other trees have him the son of Kenelm Hooker. John and Kenelm are brothers, they are not the same person. John Hooker's will of 1558 names 2 children, son Thomas and daughter Frances. This Thomas is most likely the correct person. Kenelm Hooker is mentioned in his father's will of 1562. Some family trees have Thomas Hooker as the son of John Kenelm Hooker, or Kenelm John Hooker. These names should read John OR Kenelm Hooker. Please do not merge John and Kenelm Hooker, as they are different people.

Note on children of Thomas and Susannah:
Anne, who married George Alcock;
Dorothy, who married John Chester;
