My 4xGreatgrandmother, Rebecca Wooton, married James Whitlock, Jr. and ended up in Indiana. Her brother Richard Wooton remained in Wilkes County. I have copies of letters of correspondence between Rebecca and Richard that mentions areas of Wilkes County as well as a Wilkes County postal address. Richard's daughter Fannie married a Perdue and remained in Wilkes County. Rebecca and Richard were the children of Abraham and Cassander Wooton. Abraham is the son of Richard married to Mary.
