Hello everyone, I was going through some files and found this. I copied it from the above book. Ambrose Henderson is also on the copies. I will send that to any interested party. Joan Wooten LORINDY (or LORINDA) WOOTEN, my paternal great-great-great-grandmother, was born about 1822 in Arkansas. The same year that she was born, her family moved to Texas. She was the daughter of Moses and Margaret Wooten. Lorindy married Ambrose Henderson. This marriage probably took place in Texas prior to June 3, 1839 at which time her husband received a third class land grant as a "head of family" in Shelby County. The family consisted of eight children and resided in Shelby county, which is probably where Lorindy died sometime after the birth of her youngest child in 1857 and prior to the 1860 census. Sue Smith Reed, (GGGGD), 18720S MOSES F. WOOTEN, my paternal great-great-great-grandfather, was born about 1789 in North Carolina. He ws married to Margaret, last name still unknown, who was bornin Kentucky. Their first child ws born about 1820, place unknown. Their swcond child ws born in Arkansas about 1822. A character certificate on file at the GLO states that his family consisted of a wife and six children and that he emigrated to Texas in the year 1822. Due to his service in the army of the Republic of Texas, Moses ws eligible for land and received Bounty Land Warrant No. 2918 for 320 acre, and due to his early arrival in Texas was eligible to receive a First Class Grant. Moses was a participant in the Regulator-Moderator War while living in Shelby County and on July 28, 1844, he was on the proscribed list of 25 men that Regulator Watt Moorman warned to leave town. However, Moses and Margaret remained in Shelby County where he was a farmer, at least through 1860. At this time I have not found death dates or places for Moses and Margaret Wooten. Sue Smith Reed (GGGGGD), 18722S JUDGE JAMES B. WOOTTEN, (Jan. 8, 1809 - Aug. 26, 1865), head righted land near Savannah Springs, Red River County, in 1833. He later purchased land from the Welborn tract at Shawnee and moved his family and slaves there. In 1848 he received a grant of 640 acres, also in Red River County, and patented it in two tracts. He served as Justice of the Peace, Precinct 1, in 1842, 1843 and 1844. His first wife, Julia, bore him two daughters, Mrs. James Beaty and Mrs. G. W. Peek. When Judge Wootten was 65 years old, after the death of Julia, he married Elizabeth Anderson, daughter of Thomas and Columbia (McFerron-English) Anderson. Elizabeth was only 16 at the time. Their only child was my grandmother, Mary Columbia, who is buried in a small family cemetery on Shawnee Prairie, est of Boxelder. Elizabeth diedin 1889 and is buried in the English Cemetery, east of Clarksville. Mary Jane (DeBerry) Lowry, (GGD), MOSES WOOTEN HENDERSON, or "Mose" as he was called, my paternal great-great- grandfather, was born March 29, 1845, in the Republic of Texas. He was the third childof Lorindy Wooten and Ambrose Henderson. On Nov. 26, 1866, in San Augustine County when Mose was 21, he married Nancy Permelia Anderson, daughter of Isabella Bodine and Perry Anderson. their first child, a daughter, ws born in 1868 in Milam county and that is where the family ws living at the time of the 1870 census. By 1880, the family had moved to Sabine Parish, LA and remained there the rest of their lives. Nancy died there on May 18, 1917, and Moses died there on May 28, 1927. They are both buried there in the Cassel Cemetery. In History of Sabine Parish, Louisiana by Belisle, Moses is referred to as an early settler and a prominent farmer. He donated five acres of land upon which to build the San Patricio Baptist Church. His obituary stated that he was a man of ocngenial temperament; a man of undaunted civic activity; and a businessman. It has been recorded that he was among the first in the area to have a telephone in his home. Sue Smith Reed, (GGGD), 18722S
