He was born in Devonshire, England in 1814 and came to Quebec City with his family in 1819. In 1843, he moved to Newburgh and established the firm A & D Hooper with his brother, Douglas. In 1861, he was elected to the 7th Parliament of the Province of Canada, representing the Counties of Lennox & Addington. He had been reeve in Camden Township, and became warden for Lennox and Addington in 1866. He died in the same year while still in office.
