ADAMS who served with John Sutton in the 1836-1838 Seminole Indian Wars. John states he is a "cousin" to this William R. Adams and that is where my interest ties in. Would love to hear from anyone related to this family.

Does anyone know this brave young man is, and who his parents are? Coffee County Progress ... November 7, 1918 WILLACOOCHEE BOY IS KILLED IN FRANCE Mr. J. M. Roberts, who is a prominent merchant and cotton buyer of Willacoochee, has received a message from Brigadier-general Long, giving his first notice of the death of his son Claude A. Roberts, who was killed in action on the 3rd day of October. He was barely 21 years of age. He volunteered for service in the Marine Corps on the 24th of April last and left for overseas duty soon thereafter. At the time of his death he was serving in the Sixth Regiment, U. S. Marine Corps, somewhere in France, and had been over the top a number of times as indicted in his last letter to his father, dated September 24th, and was in action at the time he received the mortal wound. The news of his heroic death was a shock to his many friends. He was a young man of unusual courage, fine character and full of patriotic zeal and love for country, which prompted him to enlist for service as a volunteer. SOURCE: Personal research.

I assume from these, Wooten no longer exist and is present day Leesburg?? Or do I need another cup of Coffee. Winn ------------------- Wooten, Lee Co., In the mid 1800's there we was a stage stop here called Sneed's Store. Henry P. Wooten was named the postmaster of Sneed. Sept 1 1857 When the railroad came through they changed the name to Wooten's Station. Incorporated as a town August 23, 1872. The name was changed to Leesburg (g.v.) Feb 28 1874 http://www.kenkrakow.com/gpn/w.pdf It is south of Starkeville on this 1863 Map http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/histcountymaps/lee1863map.htm 1865 Map shows it spelled Wottens and is south/west of Starkeville in Lee County http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/histcountymaps/lee1865map.htm1874 1874 Map shows it as Lee County http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/histcountymaps/lee1874map.htm 1910 District 71 Militia District No. 1127, Wooten, including Broxton city, Wards 1, 2, 3 and 4;

Hi Folks, Leesburg is in Lee County, Georgia. I was asking about a location in Coffee County that was called Wooten in the 1900 Census. Wooten, Coffee Co., Georgia is no longer listed on any map that I have seen (even one for 1899). I believe someone has indicated that the area referred to as Wooten, Coffee County in the 1900 Census is now apart of Broxton. Is that correct?

Rob, I am certainly not an expert on the area. But on a research trip to Coffee County last January with two WOOTEN descendants, I ran into an area I suspect was the "Wooten" District. From the Pridgen Cemetery, we drove north and then took a right to the east and headed to the Oak Grove Methodist Church and Cemetery. This is the cemetery where Bryant Lee WOOTEN (1836-1907) is buried. The area in between the two cemeteries is where many of the WOOTENs lived and I believe corresponds to the Wooten District. I may be wrong, but I believe it is a close approximation. Below are two links to the Topomaps of the area. http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=31.6972&lon=-82.9228 http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=31.7617&lon=-82.9339 One thing you could do is obtain a description of the district. The census each year had a description for each enumeration district, so this would provide you with a closer description than I have given you. Good hunting!
