Looking for info on Major John Wooten. "On May 1, 1794, Capt McKenzie of Lt Col Runnels Hancock Co., GA regiment held muster at Ft Wilkenson to draft men for frontier service. As it happened, the muster ground was only two miles from Ft Wilkenson and about 25 of the Federal troops at the fort came over to the muster ground to watch the activity.A fight broke out in which a Federal soldier struck Major John Wooten in the head killing him" Ref: History of GA Militia 1783-1861, Vol i, page 88. The same information is shown in the Historical Collections, Joseph Habersham Chapter DAR, VOL i, pages 6 & 7 except that this reference also shows that Major John Wooten was married to Mary Sims. I believe this Major John Wooten is the John Wooten, born 1735, Orange Co., VA son of Daniel Wooten. John moved to Cumberland Co., NC about 1755; then to Fairfield District SC about 1770; then to Hancock Co., GA about 1793/1794. John's son HARDY, also went to Hancock Co in 1794 where he became a Federal Spy against the Indians for Col Runnels and Col Elijah Clarke. Mary Wooten and James Cathell were appointed administrators of John Wooten's estate in Hancock Co on 16 Sept 1794. I would appreciate any information on John Wooten, especially any document that shows he was a Major in the Hancock Co., GA militia in 1794. Forrest Hale fdhale@mindspring.com
