One of my brick walls: Hooten, T.C. has only Hooten as fathers name and nothing on his mother on his death certificate. According to the "OLD MARRIAGE RECORDS OF HICKMAN CO., TN. VOL 1" Hooten, T.C. to Hadie Miller (I) 21 Dec 1894 (M) 23 Dex 1894, by T.J. Walker, J.P., Bondsman W.D. Hooten Book 8, page 92. T.C. left Tn. and went to Keller, Tarrant Co., TX., where all of his children was born. In his obits it is stated that he lived in Tarrant Co. for 50 years which meant he must have arrived there in 1900. Hadie was a daughter, adopted or blood, of David C. Miller of Hicjman Co. and probably Elizabeth Howell, a boarder in David C. Miller's home in the 1880 Hickman Co. census. I wish I knew if W.D. Hooten was a relative and how so. I would appreciate any help I can get.
