I have John W Wooten married Margaret (Peggy) Hargis b1812.Children Anna, Abraham, Sarah and Caroline.In 1860 she is living next to a Hargis family.In 1850 as I assume you saw on the census she is living with James Eaton age 68 (wife Elizabeth 66)children Elizabeth 15, Drushane 12.There seems to be discrepancies in the census on her age using the 1860 she was born 1815, using the 1850 shows 1818 and using the marriage info I found in the Marion Cty library she was born 1812.I have to assume that she married James Eaton's (Wooten, Ewton etc) son James and that he is no longer around. As you may know Wooten, Eaton, Wooton and about any other variation were used for this family names changing from one account to another.
