Research Note

Richard's father, John WOOTTEN . Born ca 1630. Married Mary, born ca 1632, died aft 1699. Occupation: Sawyer. Died aft 1699. On October 2, 1671, Randall Revell applied for headrights on 50 acres of land for bringing John Wootten into Maryland from Virginia. (Md. Ret. Rec. Vol. 16 p. 297). Between then and 1681 I (J. E. Jacobs) have found no record on him, but on July 27, 1681 he purchased from Col. William Colbourne a tract of 300 acres called Vulcan's Vineyard for 10,000 pounds of tobacco. (Som. Deed MA-06 folio 513). This tract was on the north side of Cuttomactico Creek. On November 1, 1681 he purchased from Capt. Henry Smith an additional tract of 300 acres in Nasewattux Neck called Mitten for 9,000 pounds of tobacco. (Som. Deed MA-06 folio 515). In the Coulbourne deed John was described as a sawyer. He kept Vulcan's Vineyard until June 8, 1686 when he sold it to Richard Nickells. Mary, his wife, joined in this deed. He sold for 9,500 pounds of tobacco losing 500 pounds in the deal. He and Mary sold Mitten on Sept. 12, 1699 to Thomas Pool (Som. Deed L#2, folio 521). This deed was erroneously indexed under Outten. Since the two tracts were well separated it is possible that their son Richard lived on Vulcan's Vineyard, [Maryland].

Children of John WOOTTEN and Mary :

1. Edward WOOTTEN b. 1656, d. 1696
2. Richard WOOTTEN Born ca 1653.^[1]
