(Vol. I), was born in Edgecombe County, N. C., in 1785, and died at his home near Pavo in Brooks County Ga., in 1881, age 96 years. He came with his parents to Burke County, Ga., in 1800, then about 1805 to Montgomery County, then to Telfair County. He was married twice. His first marriage was in Telfair County, May 17, 1810, to Miss Susannah Byrd, born 1793 in McIntosh County. By her six children were born. In 1849, he was married in Lowndes (now Brooks) County, to Martha Ann Dukes, born 1820 in Tattnall County, daughter of Elijah Dukes, and grand-daughter of John Dukes, R.S., who emigrated from Barnwell District, S. C., to Tattnall County about 1802-03. By the second wife, six children were born. The twelve children in their order, were: 1. Elizabeth b. 1811, m. Morgan G. Swain, Sept. 3, 1928. 2. Easter b. 1813, m. Adoniram Vann, Aug. 10, 1831. 3. Sarah b. 1815, m. Lasa Adams, Dec. 1, 1834. 4. Joel Byrd b. 1817, m. Mary Roberts, Nov. 21, 1841, dau. of Elias. 5. Martha b. 1820, m.

Mr. Wooten lived several years on the north side of the Ocmulgee River, but after the creation of Appling County south of the river and the detachment of the 1st ]and district from Appling and being added to Telfair, he granted lands in that district and moved there. But in 1827, he sold out his possessions there (land lot 314, 1st district) to William Ashley, having shortly before moved to Thomas County. In Thomas he settled in the 13th land district where he acquired three or four lots of land and established his home. But after his first wife's death he divided his lands between his children who were all married at the time, and he then bought lots 212 and 249 in the 12th district of Lowndes County, in the part that was cut into Brooks County in 1858. In 1869, he divided these lands and gave same to his children by his second wife but continued to live there until his death. The second wife died about 1870. Mr. Wooten's only public service was as Justice of Peace, 437th district Telfair County, to which he was commissioned January 21st., 1825, but which he resigned when he moved to Thomas county. He was a member of Bethel Primitive Baptist Church in Brooks County, as was also his first wife. They were received by letter in April, 1827, into Bethel Church from a church in Telfair County; Mrs. Wooten died a member, and Mr. Wooten was granted a letter of dismission in February, 1853, and placed his membership in another church nearer to his home, the identity of which has not been learned. He died a member of that church. CENSUS REFERENCES: 1820, Telfair; 1830, 1840, Thomas; 1850, Lowndes; 1860, 1870, Brooks.

Fern was working with the State Board of Health in Arkansas when we lived at Stuttgart, Arkansas. She died suddenly." A niece, Mrs. J. J. (W. Carolyn Watts) Gilinsky wrote that Una and Fitzhugh Lee Watts had no children. But Rev. George Bright Culpepper wrote on p. 4 of "ONE FAMILY - CULPEPPER" a 25 page typed manuscript completed 8 Oct 1942: One of the daughters married, bore one child, a daughter, and died. Her husband then married the other daughter, and still lives, with her husband and step-daughter in Monroe, Louisiana.
Rev. Culpepper seems to be implying that Una's daughter survived and was raised by Vera Faye but that is not consistent with the birth date or statements of Mrs. J. J. (Carolyn Watts) Gilinisky, Vera Faye's daughter.
