You said: >Searching for ancestry of Hardy Wootan, of Mississippi, 1800-1840. Is D. Wootan of New Orleans the son of Hardy Wootan?< According to the Wooten and Related Families Quarterly, Vol VI, No. 2 of June 1986, Hardy had a son, Daniel who married Catherine Miller in Copiah Co., MS 24 Dec 1824. He was shown in the Carroll Co., MS 1850 census but not found later. Could he have been in New Orleans? Regards, Nick Weedman Flat Rock NC 5:52 PM on 12/20/97
