Thomas Wooten was the son of John and Sarah Hewes Wooten. John Wooten was a member of the House of Commons from Lenoir County in 1807, 1808 and 1809. His first colonial ancestor was Dr. Thomas Wooten, a surgeon with the Jamestown Colony. John Wooten gave his son Thomas a mill on Hullett Creek; evidence of the dam can still be seen. Each year he planted two acres of his best land in corn for the poor. He never took a toll from the indigent, when they were without corn or wheat, he gave from his own. Although he never joined a church, in 1829 he gave some land near Jason in Greene County for the Mewborn Primitive Baptist Church, still an active congregation. His wife, Nancy Best Wooten was one of eight charter members. Today, a marker in the churchyard memorializes Thomas and Nancy Best Wooten. Their home still stands nearby, and they are buried about 500 yards south of the church.
