Surnames: Benjamin F Wooten b 1854 in Tennessee Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/mRXBAIB/923.1 Message Board Post: Clarence, How lucky you are to get that far back on the Wooten Family. To me hunting for Wootens is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. I would like to know your Wooten line. I also descended from the Wooten's on my grandmothers side. Benjamin F Wooten and Josephine Rippetoe. Any chance this is a connection here?
