Melin Wooley in Mississippi

By gail onesi May 11, 2007 at 09:54:03

I am wondering if all us Wooley decendants in that area of Mississippi haven't jumped the gun on saying that Reason Wooley and the rest in that area came from SC.I came across a Meling/ Melin Wooley moving down to SW Mississippi when the Spanish were in control.A doc on the Jefferson county Ms rootsweb page shows him coming by flatboat in 1788 from Virginia.Then he is on all kinds of land records after that in the Bayeau Pierre area of the Spanish territory.Part of that area became Jefferson county and I feel our Wooley may have came from him rather than SC.
