The family of BRYANT BEN WOOTEN (son of Joel Wooten, Revolutionary War veteran, and JINCY LEE suffered greatly during the Civil War. Their son, (1) WILLIAM JORDAN WOOTEN (I) and (2) JOEL WOOTEN , both lost their lives in the war. Their son, (3) BRYANT LEE WOOTEN ( my g-g-grandfather) also served in the war, Bryant and Jincy's daughter's ( 4) husband also died in the war. Their eldest son, (5) SIMON LEE WOOTEN, is being honored in Texas. SIMON LEE WOOTEN is a grandson of JOEL WOOTEN, who was a Revolutionary Soldier. SIMON LEE WOOTEN is from the area of Telfair and Coffee Co., GA. SIMON LEE WOOTEN was a soldier in the Confederate States Army. At one point he was taken prisoner. After the war, Simon and his wife, CLARA JANE RICKS, went to live in TX. They took their children with them and had additional children after arriving in TX. Simon is buried in Kimble Co., TX and had already been honored with a confederate veteran memorial marker. After posting inquiries on web sites in TX, we located his burial site and discovered that he and the Wooten Cemetery are receiving additional honors and other markers for the cemetery from the the Historical Commission of Kimball County. The next paragraph is included to provide additional information on this event. If you live in the area, this would provide opportunities for you to be a part of this historical event. We are hoping to fly to TX for these services. I am also seeking to locate other members of the family of SIMON LEE WOOTEN and of his nephew, another SIMON LEE WOOTEN, who moved from GA to TX. The nephew, Simon Lee Wooten, went to TX with his grandmother, Jincy Lee (Wooten) and his brother, WILLIAM JORDON WOOTEN (II) after the war. During the Thanksgiving holidays we went to TX and had a wonderful time meeting the descendants of William Jordon Wooten (II). Thanks, Martha Wooten Solomon "Martha, I was happy to find you on roots web. Just an update....the historical marker for Wooten Cemetery (Kimble County, Texas) is on order at the foundry and should arrive shortly. We will be planning a ceremony after the first part of the year (probably early spring). We have also ordered and have in place a replacement Civil War marker for Simon Lee Wooten, who is buried in the cemetery. The first marker was in error, and some descendants requested us to order another marker that was furnished without charge by the Veterans Administration. The historical marker was a project of Kimble County Historical Commission, of which I am chairman. Sincerely, Frederica Wyatt"
