Several people have asked about PERSI. I thought I'd post this to the list to explain. PERSI stands for PERiodocal Source Index. I found it at http://www.ancestry.com . The name of the site is Ancestry. It has 226 searchable databases. 3 of them are free (SSDI, World Tree, I can't remember the other name) . All of the databases are free right now until Jan. 1. It is a 7 day trial thing. PERSI lists the articles on a subject that you give it. I put in Wooten and got the list I posted. It will give you the name of the article, the name of the publication, the volume it is in. If you click on the name of the publication, it will tell you the address of the genealogical society that publishes it, where known copies are. I would suggest asking at your local FHC for copies of the publications. Joan Wooten -

Dear Friends, An excerpt from a worn copy of a page from the following book: From TENNESSE COUSINS A History of Tennessee People (date of publication unknown, page number unclear) Coffee County Tennessee "JESSE WOOTEN AND HIS FAMILY OF COFFEE COUNTY, TENNESSEE JESSE WOOTEN, one of the first Justices of the Peace of COFFEE COUNTY, was originally of the lower part of WARREN County, and it is believed a son of William Wooten, who died December 1, 1834 at the age of 90 years and is buried in the Old Blue Springs Primitive Baptist Graveyard in Lower Warren County. These Wootens were related to the Laynes and Mcabees of the same section. W.H. Jonathan and (possibly) Lucy Kempton Wooten were also members of the Jesse-William Wooten family. They came originally from Virginia but came to Tennessee perhaps from down in Georgia. " Della

I've been searching for something definite since 1982, and this is the first lead I have had. An obit appeared in New Orleans "Louisiana Advertiser" newspaper: "On the 23rd inst Daniel Wootan, aged 43, late of Adams county, Mississippi", died 23 Apr 1831. An obit of Mrs. Elizabeth Wooten, 24 Oct 1879, aged 80 years, a native of Jefferson county, Mississippi, and a resident of New Orleans, for 50 years. Mentions relatives with surnames of Bertel, Young & Collins. This is definitely the mother of our family. See my web page http://www.intersurf.com/~rcollins/ " Wootan Bible Records". Could this lady have been named 'Catherine Elizabeth Miller'? The children of Daniel and 'Catherine Elizabeth' were all born in MS before 1830. War of 1812 Index to pension files: James D. Wootan,, Elizabeth, srv Catp Geor Barnes's Cor TN Militia as a St. Hardy Wootan, Daniel Wootan's father, was born ca1760, bp & parents unknown. Hardy claimed land grand on Sunflower Creek in Missisippi Territory 1804. Hardy is on Greene county tax rolls in 1812, and the only Wootan on MS 1820 census. (spelled Wootan). On the 1830 Claiborne county census, along with a Daniel Wooten and a Cullin Wooten in Claiborne county. Hardy is in Carroll county on 1840 census with a younger wife and small children. Hardy's will probated 1846 lists heirs as Judath, Calvit, Moses, & Elizabeth. Thanks for the source of the WARFA Quarterly, specific volume. I think I can get that through the FHS. I think I saw it on their microfilm once, but never got around to ordering it. Thanks again. Ruby NR Collins
