For the marriage of William Crabtree and Mattie [Bell Hoops] Crabtree, the Tazewell County Marriage Register shows a marriage date of 7 Dec. 1898. A daughter of Frances Bowling Hoops, Mattie was born 12 Feb. 1879. 3. The married surname of Mary M. [Mary Margaret Hoops] was Caudill. Mary Margaret Hoops, daughter of Frances Bowling Hoops, married William P. Caudill on 11 Feb. 1903 in Tazewell County. 4. This T. E., who was married on 25 Dec. 1909, probably refers to Thomas Edward Hoops, born 7 March 1888, a son of Frances Bowling Hoops, who married Florence Kirk on this date in Martin Co., KY. Additional Comments: Only the family record pages were made available to the transcriber for copying in 1981. The title page with publication date of the Bible was not available to the transcriber. In 1981 the original Bible was in the possession of the late Gay Neva Hoops Howington of Baptist Valley, Tazewell Co., VA. She was a daughter of Thomas Edward Hoops and Florence Kirk and the granddaughter of Frances Bowling and John Henry Hoops. Historical Context: Frances (“Fanney”) Bowling was the first of three wives of John Henry Hoops. They were married in Tazewell County on 30 April 1874. Frances and John had nine children. She died on 22 Sept. 1893 in Pounding Mill, Tazewell Co., VA. After Frances died, John married again on 20 Dec. 1894, this time to Tracy Belle McGuire (Caldwell), a widow and neighbor. John and Belle had three children: Robert Lee, Myrtle Jane, and Fannie Louise. Only Myrtle (her birth date) and Fannie (her death date) are named in the Bible record. Belle McGuire Hoops drowned on 22 June 1901 along with her baby Fannie Louise and step- daughter, Annie Lizzie. On 18 Sept. 1902 John Hoops married his third wife, Sarah Frances (“Fanny”) Burnett (Sexton), a widow. John and Fanny had eight children none of which are named in this record.
