Anyone familiar with take, took, tooken? Hear it fairly often in south central Kansas, also central Missouri.

"Tooken"?
I've never heard of tooken! My husband is from a small town in East Texas and always uses "carry" in that sense: "Will you carry me to the store?".
He also uses "quieten", as in "Will you kids quieten down?", the "t" not being sounded.
Also, "tump", as in "to dump something over and spill out the contents".
Us "city folks" don't use those words much but they rub off on me from time to time!
