Philip J Hooter

Does anyone have more information on this?

“As life advanced prior to the Civil War, many people found themselves in the midst of a booming economy, which introduced a far more lavish life-style. Philip J. Hooter built the first brick home in Catahoula Parish in 1835. This house stood at the head of Lake Lovelace in the present township of Sicily Island.”
