I am having a problem locating the father of William J. Wootten, b. 1801 Pickens (Walhalla) SC - m. Susannah Grant. William is where my line begins -- believe his father might have come from Sampson County, NC -- interested in information that could possibly link up William to his (probable NC) ancestors. William is the forebear of many of the Alabama (DeKalb County) Wooten line. This has been previously posted sometime ago but thought I'd try again -- mostly out of desperation. Thanks to all for all the very helpful information everyone is posting. Really appreciate this resource. DellaphineWooten Tenney
