Can see from Ancestry there are a number of Public Members Tree - which shows William HOOK aged 14 arrived in America in 1773 (i.e. US & Canada Passenger & Immigation List Index, 1500-1900 - I don't have access to see the full record) - to see where William sailed from etc - or whether he sailed alone

This probably isn't the correct family - Christian names are carried through many generations and are clues

Children of William HOOK and Mary McKEE

Thomas 1783, Elizabeth 1785, William 1792, Samuel 1795, Joseph 1798, Mary 1800, Esther or Hester 1803, Josiah 1809 and Robert 1811.

On Ancestry, Robert and Elizabeth HOOK - are having children christened at Bristol around that time - with similar names - and naturally, Bristol was and is a Port.

Robert - 21 July 1751 (St John Baptists, Bristol, Gloucester, England)
Robert - 20 July 1755 - ditto
William - 20 July 1755 - ditto
Elizabeth - 1763 - Saint Mary's Redcliffe, Bristol, Gloucester, England
Joseph - 1766 - ditto
