Hello Wooten Researchers: Are all of you familiar with the research of the late Richard C. Wooton? He was a great researcher and got the Wooten and Related Families Association together, but it died about the same time he died. Richard developed Alzheimers and it took about 2-4 years for him to die. Anyway there was a newsletter, and the Association also did a series of Special Studies. Several of these were on my line--Thomas Watton, the Elder (abt 1585-after 1641, England). The papers of the Association were passed along to a institution in NC by his wife. Will have to check and see which one. I had a letter from her, but can't rememeber now! Leonard. -- Leonard J.
