Some of information in the following selection does relate to a study done by Richard Wooten, however, not all information corresponds to his study. When you see a reference to "WARFA" this a reference to the previous association of " Wooten and Related Families Association"....studies were completed primarily by Richard Wooten. This information was received from Belinda Melton Hughes: Thomas Watton, baptized 9/27/1612 St. Kyneburgha, Castor, Northhamptonshire, Eng. Died 1669-1670. Arrived in Virginia 1639, appearing in document 6/18/1639. Bought first land 1/11/1645, witnessed by Arthur Wood. He married Woods widow. His land located head of Lawnes Creek, Isle of Wight Co., VA. His will provided that if his only son, Richard, died without issue, his lands would go to next of Kin in Castor, Eng. Married Sarah Jennings, widow of Arthur Wood. Sarah probably daughter of Matthew Jennings who died between April 1823 and February 16, 1624 at Plantation over against James City. Thomas was 3rd son baptized in Sept. 1612.

I have just joined this list, so I will post an introduction. My Wootten genealogy has been worked out by a cousin, Mr. John E. Jacob of Salisbury, Maryland, who is currently working on publishing it. The portion directly relevant to me is on my genealogy WWW page at http://members.tripod.com/~astral where it may be read in a somewhat fractured html format (I used a LaTeX to html translator). As you will see from the wWW site, my branch arrived in Somerset Co., Maryland in 1671 or thereabouts (that is when the headrights were filed) 'from Virginia'; we have never been able to prove whence John Wootten and his wife Mary originated. After a generation or so, they found themselves near Laurel in Sussex County, Delaware, where my great grandfather lived. My grandfather moved to Salisbury, Maryland, where my branches (except me!) currently reside. I hope to hear from others in this branch, or others.

Richard Wooton's collection of Wooten genealogy was donated to the Special Collections at the Joyner Library at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. The Joyner Library is on-line, but the catalog of the Special Collections is not. I understand the collection contains all his books, newsletters, photographs of tombstones and properties, etc. You can also find some of Richard's books at the State Library of North Carolina (where the NC Archives are located) in Raleigh, NC. I think they have 4 of his books. The Library of Congress in Washington, DC, has a couple of them. The LDS has all his books available on microfilm (and the originals in their library in Salt Lake City). I checked with the National Genealogical Society Library in Arlington, VA (Richard's hometown), but they do NOT have any of his books.

I have tried the address listed for wooten information: cannot get connected for some reason. My Great-great-grandfather was lorenzo dow wooten, a merchant in bigflat Ark @ 1860's-1880's. He is buried at the bigflat cemetery as is his wife martha, his daughter sarah jane wooten morris for whom I'm Named. there's another wooten buried there who chronologically would appear to be brothers. any information on this branch of the family would be appreciated. thank you.

Hello all, I was the one who sent this information to Belinda. Actually, another family member who has researched this branch of the family sent it to me to pass on. I little explanation is needed on what we are trying to prove. In Richard Wooton's book, "John Wooten Sr. of Pitt Co, NC and his sons", the author states on page 69, " We must note that Shadrach was living in Pitt County at that time, and did not move to Dobbs until late 1788 at the earliest." The documents quoted below, show that Shadrach Wooten was in Dobbs County in 1776. The first list dated April 16, 1776 list the officers. The second document states that they were from Dobbs County. Note how many names, including Shadrach Wooten, are on both lists. Therefore, our conclusion is Shadrach Wooten WAS living in Dobbs county in 1776, long before the 1788 date that Richard Wooton determined. The reason we even bring up this point, is that our family's ancestor, Thomas Box Wooten, was born in 1783. If we went by Richard Wooton's research, then he must have been born in Pitt County. Going by the below documents that prove his father was already living in Dobbs County in 1776, then Thomas Box Wooten must have been born in Dobbs County.

Hello Wooten Researchers: Are all of you familiar with the research of the late Richard C. Wooton? He was a great researcher and got the Wooten and Related Families Association together, but it died about the same time he died. Richard developed Alzheimers and it took about 2-4 years for him to die. Anyway there was a newsletter, and the Association also did a series of Special Studies. Several of these were on my line--Thomas Watton, the Elder (abt 1585-after 1641, England). The papers of the Association were passed along to a institution in NC by his wife. Will have to check and see which one. I had a letter from her, but can't rememeber now! Leonard. -- Leonard J.

Hello everyone. New to the list and wanted to just share the "little" bit of info I have. My GreatGrandfather was EBER WOOTEN. He was married to ELIZABETH HARVEY, I believe in NC, abt. 1885-90. I located them in the 1900 Buncombe County, NC Census. Listed were Eber @ 34 b. Georgia, Dec. 1865, and wife Elizabeth @ 30 b. NC, April 1870. Living in Black Mountain Township. Eber and Elizabeth's children's names were: 1. Forrest Wooten, b. NC 2. Claude Wooten, b. NC 3. Walter Wooten, b. NC 4. William Will/Bill Wooten, b. NC 5. Samuel "Sam" Wooten, b. NC 6. Amos Bead Wooten, b. Brevard, NC (Transylvania Co) Feb. 1900 and d. Honea Path, SC Nov. 1962 married April 20, 1920 in Greenville, SC to: Ethel Mathews, b. Arthur, TN (Claiborne Co) Feb. 1900 and d. Honea Path, SC October 1985. Amos and Ethel's children: Lucille Wooten b. 1921 Greenville, SC - m. Haney Dean SC Walter Bascom Wooten b. 1923 Greenville, SC - m. Christine Kovar in Vienna, Austria Forrest "Claude" Wooten b. SC m. Lillian Cole (dec) SC Stella Wooten b. SC m. 1st Charlie Brown SC - 2nd Jerry Owens SC Jack Alton Wooten b. SC m. Elise ? SC B.A. Wooten b. SC m. Marlene ? SC Elsie Mae Wooten b. SC m. Willie Alewine SC Samuel "Boyd" Wooten b. SC m. Ann ? SC 7. Delia "Deely" Wooten b. NC m. ? Ellison Greenville, SC 8. Jess/Jesse Wooten b. NC m. Leury/Laurie Glazner Greenville, SC This is pretty much what I have on my Wooten's...not much, and getting terribly frustrated. I have no death information on Eber Wooten, but believe that Elizabeth Harvey Wooten relocated to South Carolina after his death. She died in Greenville, SC in the early 1930's. Living with her at the time was a FRANK WOOTEN, not sure of relationship to them, but he died in Greenville, SC abt. 1935. Most of Amos and Ethel's children still live in the Honea Path, Anderson and Greenville areas of South Carolina except for one, the oldest son, Walter Bascom Wooten, who lives in Washington State. Please email me if you've ran across his name before during your researches. Any help or info would be greatly appeciated. Thank you in advance, Sincerely, [email protected]
This information contains information on several WOOTEN family members. Martha More info from another researcher. Belinda Melton Hughes Tuesday, April 16th, 1776 - The Congress met according to adjournment. The several districts, by direction of the Congress, having nominated sundry person as officers to the battalions directed to be raised in this Province; the House taking the same in consideration, Resolved, That the persons be, and they are hereby appointed accordingly, to wit: Newbern Simon Alderson Captain William Groves 1st Lieut. John Custis 2nd Lieut. James McKinnie Ensign John Enloe Captain George Suggs 1st Lieut Henry Cannon 2nd Lieut Shadrach Wooten Ensign William Caswell Captain Henry Darnell 1st Lieut John Sitgreaves 2nd Lieut John Bush Ensign Reading Blount Captain Benjamin Coleman 1st Lieut John Allen 2nd Lieut Thomas Blount Ensign Benjamin Stedman Captain Robert Turner 1st Lieut John Eborn 2nd Lieut Charles Stewart Ensign (The Colonial Records of NC Vol X by William L Saunders, pp.517-518) The History of Greene County, [NC] Two regiments of five hundred men were raised by Order of the Congress. The County of Dobbs (Greene a part of) fell into the Second Regiment, and the following officers were appointed: Robert Howe, Colonel; John Patton, Major; Alexander Martin, Lieutenant Colonel; Dr. John White, Captain; and Adjutant; Captains John Blount, John Armstrong, Charles Crawford, Hardy Murfree, Henry Irwin Toole, Nathan Keais, Simon Bright, Michael Payne, John Walker; Lieutenants John Gringer, Robert Smith, John Heritage, Clement Hall, Edward Vail Jr., Joseph Tate, William Genner, John Williams, James Gee, Benjamin Willimas; Ensigns Henry Vipon, Whitmel Pugh, John Oliver, Philip Lowe, William Gardner, Benjamin Cleveland, James Cook, John Woodhouse, William Caswell, Joseph Clinch; and Dr. William Partin the Chirurgeon. Four more regiments in addition ot the others already raised were created, the officers of the battalions from Dobbs County were: Simon Alderson and John Enloe, Captains; William Graves and George Suggs, First Lieutenants; Mark McLainy and John McCan, Second Lieutenants; James McKenny and Shadrach Wooten, Ensigns; William Caswell and Reading Blount, Captains; Henry Darnell and Benjamin Coleman, First Lieutenants; John Sitgreaves and John Allen, Second Lieutenants; John Bush and Thomas Blount, Ensigns; Benjamin Stedman, Captain; Robert Turner, First Lieutenant; John Eborn, Second Lieutenant; Charles Stewart, Ensign. The Field Officers for each county were appointed . . . from Dobbs County they were Lieutenant Colonel Martin Caswell, First Major William McKinnie; and Second Major James Glasgow. Dobbs County quickly raised three companies of 68 men and four officers each. Company A with officers Captain Jese Cobb, Lt. William Cobb, and Ensign Richard Caswell the Younger, presented themselves for services on September 23, 1775. Company B under Captain George Miller, Lt. Benjmain Exum, and Ensign David Jernigan were formed September 28, 1775; and Company C organized with Captain John Garland, Lt. William Kilpatrick, and Ensign John Grainger as officers entered service on October 4, 1775. North Carolina with its organized forces sacrificed in defense of its southern neighbors, its resources exhausted, and its people dispirited and alarmed, would have been powerless to resist invasion if it had come then. But Cornwallis, perhaps overconfident, delayed the invasion of NC until the fall, and then again until the summer of 1780. His delay gave NC time to organize its resistance. The General Assembly resolved that it would defend the state to the last extremity, and of February 7, 1780, appointed Richard Caswell Major General of the entire state militia. (History of Greene Co., by James M. Creech, Rev. War Dobbs Co, p.192) Lenior county was formed in 1791. Dobbs county was formed from Johnston, in 1758, in honor of Arthur Dobbs, then the royal Governor of the Province. In 1791, Dobbs was divided into Lenoir and Glasgow; the latter, in 1799, was changed into Greene. It was called in honor of Gen. Willima Lenoir, of Wilkes County, who was distinguished for his revolutionary and civil service. It is situated in the eastern part of the state, and bounded on the north by Greene, east by Pitt and Jones, south by Duplin and Jones, and west by Duplin and Wayne Counties. Its capitol is Kingston, distant eighty miles east of Raleigh. Members of the General Assembly from Lenoir County, from the formation of the County to 1851.

I recently received this request. I do not think that it would fit within the Soundex Code. Any ideas from other researchers? Subject: Re: WOOTEN LIST From: [email protected] Are any of the spelling variations with a WOODEN??? That is the only spelling I have. CHigg
A few researchers have notified me that they missed this first post. Please post any additional information for Mary on this list. MARY WOOTEN, b. June 17, 1792, GA; married in 1811 in Putnam Co., GA. died April 17, 1862; buried in Beulah Cemetery/ Beulah Baptist Church/ Lee Co., Beulah, AL. Mary married MILLINGTON POWELL b. 1761-1769; died abt. 1843 probably in Harris Co., GA Known children: 1. MARTHA POWELL (1814-1893) m. NOAH BASS 2.. ELIZABETH ANN HOLMES POWELL m. THOMAS HASTY 3. ABEL ROBINSON POWELL (1828 GA - 1916 AL) m. JULIA ANN DELOACH Mary's father is unknown at this time. However, there is a POLLY ANN WOOTEN listed in the GA Land Lottery, drawing as an orphan. This researcher suspects that Mary may have been known as "Polly Ann". And has found a POLLY ANN WOOTEN m. to MILLINGTON POWELL. This researcher is also seeking WOOTENs from Putnam, Henry, Butts, or Harris counties in GA or Chambers, Lee, or Tallapoosa Counties in AL. Thanks for your patience with the establishment of this list. It is not yet posted on the regular Roots Web site, but is on the list owners pages. Sorry, things will soon be totally operational. The folks at Roots Web are busy as you can imagine. 8-) Martha
