M. C. van Hook

The M. C. van Hook of Zion's Watch Tower appears to be the same as the man listed in the 1880 Census as living in Twin, Ohio. That places him near New Lebanon, where he is known to have preached. I still do not have a first name for him.

The census has him born in North Carolina, thirty-five years old, married with five children aged from four months to twelve years.

Anyone have more details?
