All of us are interested in JWB and family.I've never seen anything related to him as a daughter, however, when I read the book, "The Lincoln Conspiracy" (1977, Schick Sunn Classic Productions, Inc.--Lib. Congress at. #77-73521) Their is speculation that JWB escaped and found his way to Texas.Their he had a daughter, and died of old age after running a soloon for some years.It is said that on his death bed, he confessed to Lincoln's assassination (can't spell).
Secondly, a book printed in/about 1942, entitled "The Mad Booth's of Maryland" contains a large geneolgy of the entire Booth family, up to JWB. Their you will find that JWB's father was Junius and his father was Junius, whos father was Richard, whos father was John, etc. etc.This book takes you back to England and beyond to the original John in Brazil.It confirms the infor. regarding Junius having two wives, one in Baltimore and one in England, at the same time.Talk about our closets!!!!The book is, sadly, out of print.The copy I read came from the librery in Prince George's County, Maryland.It cannot be checked out, but is well laid out and easy to find the geneology section. My path is as follows.
John Robert Booth
Fr: Burnie Wilson Booth
Fr: William Colon Booth
Fr: John Robert Booth (my namesake
Fr; ???-Thomas Booth, Wilmington NC area-???
Thomas is suppose to be a brother of one of the Junius Booth names.Anybody knows more, let me hear.
