Robert Lettis Hooper, Jr (1730July 30, 1797) was a soldier in the American Revolutionary War, later a member of the New Jersey Legislative Council, of which he was Vice President.
==Early Life==
Robert Lettis Hooper, Jr was born about 1730 and was the third in succession to bear that name. His Grandfather, Robert Lettis Hooper, had been Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court, and a member of the New Jersey General Assembly, among other political offices. His great-grandfather Daniel Hooper, a native of Barbados, was a judge in Elizabethtown and Newark, and was of the East New Jersey Provincial Council.〔''New Jersey Colonial Documents, Archives of the State of New Jersey, First Series, Vol. XXI''; The Press Printing and Publishing Co., Paterson, New Jersey, 1899; p. 43〕
A miller, he was later a merchant in Philadelphia, but owing to financial problems he closed his business.
Traveling west, Hooper visited with Sir William Johnson in June, 1765. Afterwards he engaged in surveying for the proposed Colony of Vandalia, and was an applicant for its Surveyor General if a government was established. Although this position never materialized, it led to Hooper being appointed by Governor William Franklin to report on the country he had surveyed.〔''Memorial Cyclopedia of New Jersey, Vol. III''; Under the Editorial Supervision of Mary Depue Ogden; Memorial History Co.; Newark, N. J.; 1917; p. 192〕
