     Contemporaries in Ednam were George Hopper, a herd, who had several children baptised 1754-1764, From 1762-1770 children were baptised of William Dixon servant to Robert Hooper, Tenant in Edinmouth..
     In 1761 Ednam was purchased by James Dickson, merchant of London, who had grown up in Kelso. He established a mill for weaving English blankets. laid out a bleachfield and built a brewery. He also built Ednam House & Cross Keys in Kelso. The establishment of Robert's two sons from Ednam as drapers in London may be connected to this event.
     He is described in the Registers as "tenant in Edinmouth".
Contemporaries in Ednam were George Hopper, a herd, who had several children baptised 1754-1764. From 1762-1770 children James 30 Aug 1767 & Mary 10 Nov 1770 were baptised of children of William Dixon servant to Robert Hooper, Tenant in Edinmouth.

The neighbouring parish of Stitchell is full of Hoppers and Happers, many with the christian names of Robert & Henry. The registers of both Stitchel & Ednam are defective (e.g. Ednam has no marriage 1741-1764 and hardly any baptisms between the 2 Williams Hoppers. Ednam parish lacked a minister between 1690 and 1692. No Testaments for Roxburgh have survived.

In the course of the 17th century the lands of Stitchell passed to Robert Pringle whose grandson was created a Baronet of Nova Scotia in 1683. In 1859 November possessed by Baird family.

     Robert studied at Pembroke College, Oxford University, on 24 October 1796.
     We have a photograph of an engraving by N Bronwhite of S Medley's painting of "some of the principal institutors" of the Medical Society of London, published R Wilkinson, 1801. Robert Hooper is seated, hands crossed, holding the quill pen. He may have been the Secretary. In 1805 he is listed as a Fellow of the Medical Society of London, and as being at the Marylebone Infirmary. In 1822 & 1827 he was at 21 Saville Row, Bond St, and later was of Bentinck St, as well as owning The Cottage, Stanmore, Middlesex. He retired to Stanmore in 1829. Robert was a doctor from 1806. Robert Hooper MD was born in London and received his scholastic education under Dr Rutherford at Uxbridge; on leaving which he commenced the study of medicine in London and became apothecary to the parochial infirmary of Marylebone. Shortly after the appointment to that office, he entered himself at Pembroke College, Oxford, and as a member of that house proceeded AB 18th March 1803; AM 28th June 1804; MB 12 July 1804. Some obstacles being opposed to his further progress at Oxford, he was created doctor of medicine by the university of St Andrews 16 Dec 1805, and was admitted a Licentiate of the College of Physicians 23 Dec 1805. He settled in Savile Row, began to lecture on the practice of medicine, and for many years commanded a numerous class. He devoted much time to pathological anatomy, and accumulated a very valuable collection of morbid specimens. Dr Hooper was a man of immense industry, a sound practical physician and a good writer, and was much esteemed by his professional brethren. His Physician's Vade Mecum and his Medical Dictionary retain their popularity to the present time. He held the office of physician to the Marylebone Infirmary, and long enjoyed an extensive and lucrative business. Having accumulated a competency, he retired from practice in 1829, and withdrew to Stanmore, but he died in Bentinck St, Manchester Square on 6 May, 1835, in the 63rd year of his age.
     The Lancet pp.493-4: There are several incidents both in the private and public life of this eminent physician which are deserving of notice. Dr Hooper had retired for some years past from the toils of a practitioner, and resided at Stanmore after realizing an ample fortune. Having been attacked by a disease in the bladder and adjacent parts, he came to London, where obtained the assistance of several of his medical friends, but he survived his visit only a few weeks, and died in the beginning of May last, having reached the 66th year of his age. Dr Hooper's early days hold forth to youth a most praiseworthy example, and exhibits the fruits of industry during that period of life. Endowed with considerable talents, he commenced the profession as the House Apothecary of the Marylebone Workhouse - an institution which, though not "recognised" by the monopolists, afforded ample means for the cultivation of medical education and observation. The opportunities which Dr Hooper here possessed were well employed, and he made a very extensive collection of preparations, both of natural and pathological anatomy. At no very advanced period he became an author, and his "Vade Mecum" and "Dictionary", though they were not stamped by the hand of genius, yet have proved highly useful works to the medical public, and not less than 20,000 copies of his "Vade Mecum" have been sold. He also published a work on the pathology of the brain. With a laudable desire to rise in his profession, and to enable him to practise as a physician, he went to Oxford in order to obtain a degree, and after passing the prescribed "terms", he became a Bachelor of Medicine at that University. At this period it must be recollected that the London College of Physicians was shining in all its glory! Monopoly had arrived at its acme, corruption swayed its sceptre in every avenue of the profession, and tyranny ruled unmolested in the sanctum of Pall Mall East. The circumstances of Hooper having been a subordinate, but, far more, his having already acquired a high character for diligence in the pursuit of medical science, were deemed cogent reasons by the dowagers of the venerable and ancient Institution of Warwick Lane, to regard him as an unfit person to become a Fellow of the College, and tarnish its hallowed walls with the falme of the Work-house laboratory. To prevent the project of Hooper became therefore an important consideration in the eyes of the monopolists, and to their immortal honour be it told that a plan was concocted and successfully carried into execution, by which Mr Hooper, after having become a BM was checked in his progress, and refused the degree of MD by the College.
     At a moment like the present, Dr Hooper's case is big with interest, as it displays the true principles and "high moral feelings" on which the College of Physicians have acted, and their absurd and wicked system of conferring medical degrees. Sir Christopher Pegg, a Fellow of the College, was, at the period referred to, professor of anatomy at Oxford, and he it was whom the venerable College employed in the unchristian duty of preventing Dr Hooper from obtaining the medical degree at Oxford; and were the name of Pegg known only as that of the hireling of the corrupt Fellows, that circumstance alone would render his memory contemptible in the estimation of all good men.
[:TAB:]It now only remained for Hooper to enter the College as a Licentiate and that step he accomplished by the purchase of a Scotch degree. He then practised as a physician, and rapidly acquired fame, which only made him the more odious in the eyes of the Pall Mall elite, whilst their injustice and jealousy materially promoted his interests, by gaining for him the support of a mass of the community who are ever ready to stretch forth their aid to assist the oppressed.
     In private life Dr Hooper was justly esteemed as benevolent and good man.
     He is described as a medical writer in the Dictionary of National Biography...

He was buried on 14 May 1835 in with a memorial in the side chapel of St Mary le Haura, New Shoreham, Sussex.
