I am looking for information on the following Wootens (or any people possibly related to them), my mother-in-law's family. I am also looking for information on Richens Lacy "Uncle Dick" Wootton who my mother-in-law's grandparents knew and who her grandfather was related to, although the exact connection has been 'lost'. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jennie Patterson 1 Jonas Wooten* (b. abt 1813, KY); moved his family to MO after 1845 where he served in the cavalry of the Union army.
