Sketchy evidence indicates that my great,great, great grandfather Richard Kelly Wootten came from North Carolina after marrying Mary O'Neal prior to 1838, when Richard Kelly Wootten the second was born. The latter married Ann Murphy and the two of them moved to Mississippi. I realize Wootten is spelled in a number of ways but if any of this information rings a bell, I would surely like to know. I just have not been able to get definitive information prior to the move to Mississippi. tom -- Thomas H. Wootten T & E, Inc.
