My aunt, Miss Mary Malone Wootten of Wilmington, ID'd her grandfather, Epis. Rev. Edward Wooten/Wootten (late in life he added extra 't') in a photo of the Wilmington UCV's. He was a Sgt/Lt in Co. B, 5th N.C. Cavalry. I donated his un-usual 13-ring "bull's-eye" canteen to N.C. Museum, Raleigh; which had a letter concerning his Civil War use of it. The Cape Fear Camp roster shows him as a Lt., same unit. Book on N.C. Women of the Confederacy, says his mother, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth "Eliza" Murphy Wooten (wed Shadrack "Shade" Wooten) of Pitt Co., N.C., had other sons, John, Lewis, Allen, and Oscar Wooten in CSA service too. When he was Superintendant of County Schools, Statesville, N.C., Rev. Wooten donated his CSA sword to a local militia unit there.
