Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/mRXBAIB/943.1 Message Board Post: My name is William Lee Wooten. I was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1967. My mother's name is Mildred Blanche Wooten. She was also born in Boston (1945). Her father (Lee Wooten) was born in NC. Just wanted to drop you a line before I traveled to East Africa.

Hi, I wonder if anyone has a Wooten family that both parents were born in VA (possibly 1800), all their children b in OH between 1830 - 1840????? It is very possible they went to IN later, but not real sure on that one. I am trying to trace down the parents and siblings of my gg grandmother, Jane Wooten, b OH 1831. Thanks, Karol Gale

Does anyone on this list correspond with Martha at marybebobsisler@peoplepc.com? I have tried twice to reply to her message, with no success. I think that I have a correct address, but that her anti-spam is rejecting my messages. Martha, if you are on this list, or if another Wooten researcher has access to Martha, please help me to get in touch with her. I would like to chat about our shared 4gr-grandfather, Silas Wooten who married Phoebe Worth. Marsha in WV

Hi Listers, I have been searching for many years for the parents of my gg grandmother. Jane Netta Wooten, b 1831 in OH. I don't know which county. (sometimes her name is written as Jannetta - or similar to that) She married in 1850.. to Ananias Wilson who was b in 1830 in OH. (Also no parents names or county of Ohio known) They married in St. Joseph County, IN. They had 6 children, three of whom lived to adulthood. Ananias died in the Civil war, then Jane moved to IA where she remarried to William Hamilton Goodpasture. They are on the 1880 census in Polk County, IA. In the Late 1890s they moved to Oregon. I suspicion that Jane's father's name may have been George W. Wooten, so have been keeping an eye out for that name. (Jane's 2nd son was named George Worth Wilson). Any clues or suggests are most welcome. Thank you, Karol Wilson Gale kgale@jps.net

My uncle, who died last year, had quite a few pictures he got from my grandmother, but I'm not sure where they are now. I am going to try and track them down, and if I do, I'll try to e-mail you the ones I think you might be interested in. I would love to see the picture you have.

Any info?

My father was Richard Douglas Wooten and this is his line: 1. Thomas Watton;b. 1559 2. Thomas Watton;b. 1585 3. Thomas Watton;b. 9-27-1612 4. Richard Wotton, Sr. b. bet. 1647-1652 5.

My Wooten line starts with Henry W. Wooten, b 1814, d 1882, a native of Delaware. He settled in Shelby County, Missouri 1829. Unknown when he moved to Pike County, Missouri. He was well read in Law and engaged in the livery stable and stage coach business where he operated six lines. Married Sarah Templeton Bishop, marriage date unknown. Her family lived in Pike County. Children: 1. William R. Wooten, b 1842 2. Lavina Wooten, b 1843 3. James Edward Wooten, b 1844 4. John P. "J.P" Wooten, b 1849 5. Catherine Wooten, b 1857 6. David B.

John Wooten b 1875 There are many other Wooten's from this line but no all are organized in my program yet. Grayson Earl McDivitt was my father. My brick wall are the parents of Henry W. Wooten (Wootten). The inscription on his tombstone was Wootten, all other references in the area of Town of Louisiana, Pike County, are spelled Wooten. Marie "McDivitt" Havens

The parents of both Jesse Wooten and Rosanna Wooten are unknown. Below is some suggestions that have been passed on to me. In Iredell Co., NC, 1830 census there is Elizabeth (possibly Jonathan Wooton's widow), Jesse, John, and Moses. The names here bear a close resemblance to Jesse and Rosey's children. Could Jesse be the son of Jonathan and Elizabeth. In the 1800 census, Jonathan is listed with 1 male 16-26 and 1 female 16-26. In 1810 census shows three young children. Richard Wooten suggests that Jonathan may have been the grandson of George Wooten. If this is true, then he could be the son of John, Daniel, or Moses. The will of Richard Wooten: 12 Mar 1803 - Richard Wooten wrote last will. (Surry Wills, vol. 3, pp. 85-86). The will identified in order his daughters Rebecca, Mary, wife Mary, sons, Abraham, John, Jonathan, Moses, Aaron and daughter Sucky. His wife Mary and Abraham to be executors. Wife Mary is to have land (180 acres). Upon her death Abraham is to receive all his mother's porton but is to pay 10 shillings apiece to John, Jonathan, Moses, Aaron and Sucky. Will not probated until 10 Feb 1808. We have already found John and Jonathan in their own households in Iredell Co. in the 1800 census. Moses was also in his own household in 1800 in the Surry census. We may thus conclude that Abraham was still living on Richard's farm making him the clear choice as executor. Youngest son Aaron is also most likely still on the farm (Special Studies, vol. IV, pg 158; from Forrest Wooten). My Wooten Line 1. Jesse Wooten was born Bet. 1805 - 1807 in NC. He married Rosanna Wooten July 07, 1828 in Surry Co., NC. She was born Bet. 1805 - 1810 in NC. 2.

He married (2) Sarah Elizabeth Strader January 05, 1870 in Darke Co., OH, daughter of William Strader and Elizabeth Ridenhous. She was born January 04, 1852 in Darke Co., OH, and died May 1931 in Lansing, Ingham Co., MI. 3. Calvin Elsworth Wooten was born April 12, 1874 in IN, and died 1918 in MI.
