About us
Old updates from unknown prior project Admin:
4/3/2009 - Today we are excited to announce that we have two matching members who descend from Silas G. Wooten. Silas G. is documented to be the son of Silas P. and Phebe Wooten in a court case that continues after Silas P. Wooten's death in which Silas G. was named as an heir. According to the age given by Silas P. on January 16, 1826 when his Revolutionary Pension is executed, he was born circa 1758-59. Silas P. died 25 Nov 1846 in Lawrence County, Virginia. His place of birth is unknown but he did move from North Carolina to eastern Ky in the early 1800s.
6/27/2008 - We are approaching the 20 member mark. Most recently I have been working to identify the link between our members 91225 (Don)and N60036 (Kevin). Kevin's ancestor is James Wooton born 1832 in Arkansas. Some people place his birth in Illinois. Don's ancestor is William Wooten born around 1780 in North Carolina. William's grandchildren were all born in Arkansas. The oldest was Lucinda born in 1829. Coincidence? Maybe. Test results predict nearly an 80% probability that Don and Kevin are related within 12 generations.
2/5/2007 - I am designing the next mail-out. I am targeting another 400 Wootens. The last mailout generated lots of interest. So far 7 members have joined as a results of the last mail-out.
9/16/2006 - I mailed out the last of 400 letters to Wooten families in America in an effort to generate support for our project.
