William Hook born 1759 (Inquests)

Thanks for your reply. I descend from William HOOK and Mary McKEE's youngest son, Robert born in 1811. I'm trying to find where William lived in Gloucestershire before coming to America. I've found two christenings for a William HOOK both in the year 1758; one in Shipton Moyne and the other in Stroud. I need something concrete to tie him to a family in England. I was hoping someone across the pond would have a record or document about a William (from their family) leaving the country. Since he was a British subject there are no ship manifests to look for as I would for my German families.

I have a subscription to Ancestry. Do you know the name of the Public Tree which states he arrived in 1774 at age 14? There may be more documentation through that lead.

Thanks,
Diane
