I wondered about this one as well. There were at least two other children born to John Hook & Mary Hannah

Benjamin b 4 Apr 1806 (link above)

Joseph Vernoy Hook b 4 May 1809 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FDYS-PWY

Cornelius Vernooy Hook b 19 Aug 1811 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FDYS-PQB

Vernooy, used here as a second name, was a surname of families in the area at that time. --Jennifer (JBS66) 19:29, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Vernooy seems typical Dutch
