Hello, As you know the WOOTEN list has grown beyond my wildest expectations. Since I began the list on Nov. 23, 1997, we have grown to approx. 150 subscribers. I appreciate all the sharing of information and responses to the list. Recently, several people have sent messages about finding missing links through answers to another person's questions that were posted. Great... In July, Gerald (my husband) and I will be flying to TX to attend a special program in honor of the Wooten Cem. in TX. This specific branch of the Wooten family went to TX after the Civil War. Both, Simon Lee Wooten and his mother, Jincy Lee (wife of Bryant Benjamin/son of Joel Wooten) are buried at this cemetery. A special monument has been ordered for the cemetery. The Historical Society of Kimble Co., TX, will be having a special memorial ceremony on Saturday, July 18, 1998, at the Wooten Cemetery. Ceremonies will begin at 10:30 a.m.. SIMON LEE WOOTEN is the son of BRYANT BENJAMIN WOOTEN. Simon Lee Wooten was married to CLARA JANE RICKS. They were both born in GA. Simon Lee Wooten was born in Telfair Co., GA and served in the CSA. His known descendants include the families of SOLOMON, KING, BUCHANAN, and CLOUDT. I do have information on motels and will send it upon request. Martha Wooten Solomon List Host
