John Wooten might be a relative, or maybe even a brother of Thomas Wooten (bef. 1612 - abt. 1669) or none of the above. The reason is because a person in the DNA haplogroup I-M253 is Ivan Tunnell a highly possible descendant of Sarah Elizabeth (Sallie) Daniel formerly Wooten. She appears to be a descendant of John Wooten but it's uncertain. Click on her "Show Descendants" button to see Ivan Tunnell at the bottom (at least as of 29 Jan 2024).
The weak link in the line of descendants is Samuel Wooten (1726 - 1814) son of Richard Wooten (born 18 Feb 1677 in Somerset County, Province of Maryland) who is duplicated as Samuel Wootten Sr. son of Richard Wooten and Lucy Council of Isle of Wight. Both with no proof as father of Samuel. Furthermore Samuel is mysteriously born in Mecklenberg, Virginia with no proof. Richard and Lucy were never there. The Richard born in Maryland most likely was well established on Vulcan's Vineyard, Maryland in 1699. So where does Samuel go?
Samuel Wootten Sr. also has a possible descendant with the the DNA haplogroup I-M253 which is Spencer D. Wooten. Perhaps Samuel Wootten Sr. is the real one after a merge and his father would be Richard Wooten Jr. (1673 - 1738) who married Lucy Council. Samuel's birth place would be Isle of Wight. Then all the DNA haplogroups would match.
But did Lucy have Samuel when she was 50? Perhaps Samuel belongs to another Wooten who may not even be a Richard Wooten.
