William Hooper's Birth Card: The 2 of Clubs
The Collaborative Builder
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict the Declaration or a revolution.
Wikipedia marks June 17, 1742 as Old Style. New Style is June 28, 1742.
In the record
William Hooper (June 28, 1742 – October 14, 1790) was an American Founding Father, lawyer, and politician. The birth-card coordinate for June 28 is the 2 of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast.
The 2 of Clubs coordinate
William Hooper's birthday maps to the 2 of Clubs (The Collaborative Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about the Declaration and not a verdict on William Hooper. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You think with someone else and still leave the conversation with a position of your own.
William Hooper in the public record
As a member of the Continental Congress representing North Carolina, Hooper signed the Continental Association and the Declaration of Independence. Hooper was the first child of five, born in Boston, Massachusetts, on June 28, 1742. His father, William Hooper, was a Scottish minister who studied at the University of Edinburgh prior to immigrating to Boston. His mother, Mary Dennie, was the daughter of John Dennie, a well-respected merchant from Massachusetts. Hooper's father had hoped that William would follow in his footsteps as an Episcopal priest and placed his son at the age of seven in Boston Latin School headed by Mr. John Lovell, a highly distinguished educator. In 1757, at age 16, Hooper entered Harvard University where he was highly regarded as an industrious student. In 1760, Hooper graduated from Harvard with honors, obtaining a Bachelor of Arts.

Where the record meets the King of Hearts
A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about William Hooper, and not a forecast of the Revolution.
