I know the Hooten line is not your side, but have you found anything info on them? And can you go back any farther than Micajah and Elizabeth?

The Hooten line is my line also from the sense they would have been my grandfather's siblings spouses. I do have a lot on the Roll/Hootens. I know that William Roll and AMerica Hooten had a son George that died at Osawatomie State Hospital back in 1935 I believe. America's mother was a Webb and her father was Elijah Reeves Hooten and from what I can tell they were from Tennessee however William and America was married in Crawford Co., Indiana 1852 or 1856. Thank you for the information on the Gwartney girls. I have been trying to locate data on them can't find them. I have been able to go back further that Micajah however my basement flooded and that was some of the information lost and I have been trying to recreate---HELP!!! Get back as soon as possible inthe meantime I will pull out some more Hooten information. Brandon

America Hooten's father was Elijah and her mother was Rachel Webb. However, I do not believe that our Elijah was Elijah Reeves Hooten. I don't have my database open right now to give you details as to why I believe this, but I am 95% certain we are dealing with two different Elijah Hootens.

Where did you get the info on head injury? That was a story my mother told me, but I have not found any proof he rode for pony express, His name is not listed in St. Joe as one of their riders. I also heard from another ancestor that he was a horse rancher and this is where a horse reared up and he fell off hitting his head on a nail. I think he is also the one who after injury would wonder off and not come home for months (maybe years) at a time.

George W. Roll married Emma Thompson (she was at least 1/4 indian). They had 6 children (5 girls - America Lillian, Anna Rachel, Nora Georgia, Edith Maria, Stella Violet and one son, William (Willie - who was not a very nice guy from what I have heard).

As for where I fit in - George and Emma are my great great grandparents. So it goes George (gg grandfather) then America Lillian (g grandmother), then Violet (grandmother), then Lillian (mother) and me.
