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.
