Biografie
Joseph Swett Jr. (1689?-1745) and Robert Hooper Jr. (1709-1790) were merchants of Marblehead, Massachusetts, and partners in the fish export trade during the 1740s. Swett was one of the first in that town to engage directly in export, and Hooper, his son-in-law, eventually gained such dominance in the fishery that he became popularly known as "King" Hooper. Their firm was almost certainly the largest trading concern in town and had dealings in many major centers around North America.
