The family moved to Mt.

George W. Wooten owned a farm in Bradley Co. where his great-treat nephew Charles Walker now lives -- Harris Circle in the northwestern section of Cleveland. There are other Wooten relatives of this family in Bradley County, along with a host of Bryan kin.

Eliza J. Bryan and George W. Wooten Marriage: about 1838, [Sevier County], [Tennessee]. She was from a Jefferson County family and he was from a Sevier County family. Marriage records for Jefferson County are exant, but the Sevier County courthouse was destroyed in 1857.
