Hi Bruce, I am assuming that Samuel Hood was connected to the Hoods who owned the large department store in Newtownstewart and is therefore a well known and relatively wealthy branch of the Hoods.
Back in 2016, I researched the "minor" branches of Hoods from the surrounding area, specifically Robert Hood of Lisnafin and James Hood of Tyrmegan, for a lady in the US. You will find both of these men in the Griffiths Valuation. I found no connection to the Hoods of Newtownstewart, although, of course, there must have been some connection going back into the mists of the 18th century. I have copied this post to your email address so if you get back to me privately, I will put you in touch with Kathleen and she can share whatever I found if she so wishes.
