born circa 1843 in South Carolina. In January of 1861 he enlisted
in the Confederate Army at Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. Six
months later he was mustered out in Virginia but apparently
enlisted again as he later shows up on a Prisoner of War List and
is paroled out in Augusta, Georgia 20 May 1865. By 1876, M.V.B.
Hook was listed as a "resident" on San Jacinto Street
between Association and Germania now known as old East Dallas. In
1877, he bought property with H.C. Williamson, husband of Sarah
Barnhill. On 14 February 1877, M.V.B. Hook married "Lizzie
Burnsil," [Lydia Barnhill] sister to Sarah Barnhill and
daughter of John D. Barnhill and Elizabeth Hungerford Smith
Calhoun Barnhill of DeWitt County, Texas. By 1885, M.V.B. was
employed as a carpenter and Lydia was listed as
"Proprietress of the Mankato House," at 1353 Elm Street
at the corner of Leonard Street. The 1880 Census lists M.V.B.
Hook and wife, Lydia with one adopted son, Robert B. Hook, born
circa 1873 in Arkansas. In 1886, M.V.B. and Lydia Hook had a son,
John Calhoun Hook, named after Lydia's half-brother, John Calhoun
of DeWitt County, Texas. Martin Van Buren Hook died, according to
Lydia's 1928 Confederate pension application, on the 13th of
October 1889. By 1891, Lydia Hook had married James Forrester. In
1905, Lydia was again a widow and living with her son, John
Calhoun Hook both were employed with Southwestern Life Insurance
Company. Lydia married for a third time in 1908 to Sylvester
Nelson. Widowed again in 1921 she moved in with her son, John C.
Hook and his wife, Leila Della Scott, daughter of Robert Powell
Scott and Mary Emeline Johnston of Cherokee County, Texas. In
June of 1928, Lydia filed for a Confederate Pension based on her
deceased husband, Martin Van Buren Hook's service. It was awarded
to her but she died a few months later, in December 1928. Her
application states that her deceased husband had been dead for
nearly forty years and she could not remember where he enlisted
or where he served. She believed he was raised in Charleston,
South Carolina.
