Notes:
Living In:
At some point before the 1820 census, James was living in Bedford County, TN as were his brothers Henry and Benjamin and their growing families.
Land:
In 1825, Stephen Booth, Sr. gave his son James Booth and Samuel Clay Booth, 100 acres in Bedford Co., TN, on waters of Wartrace Fork.
Living In:
It appears that by 1830, Stephen, along with his sons James and Benjamin had moved further west to Haywood County, TN, near present day Alamo, to an area that would later become Crocket County.
Stephen S. Booth is listed as an early settler of the area.
Stephen S. Booth shows up in a jury in Haywood County in September 1831.
By 1830, James and his family had moved to Haywood County where he appears to have been very involved in the legal and community affairs. He shows up in numerous records and had many dealing with other ancestors of mine including Castellaws, Cobbs, Brantleys, Steeles and others.
Land:
31 August 1836, James Booth sold 50 acres of land to John Hancock for the sum of one horse which was valued at one hundred dollars. Thomas J. Castellaw and Edward Steele were witnesses. 1 Jan 1839, John Hancock deeded the same 50 acres back to James' son, William for $150 dollars. David Outlaw and Thomas J. Castellaw witnessed that transaction. Source
Land:
Sale:
In Sept 1839 John H. Cobb purchased five and one quarter acres of land from James Booth for $12.50. Source
Political Office:
In 1846, James Booth, Ichabod Herring and J. (John) H. Cobb were school commissioners for the fifth district of Haywood County. Source
Land:
In 1847, John Cobb deeded land to Richard Ward which is listed as being "bound by beginning at a Stake in the line at James Boothe north, thence west the said Boothes line, thus North the said Whitney line to Butterton's line then his line East to the to John D Castellow's line. Source
Land:
In November 1847 James Booth deeded one acre of land to the school commissioners with the purpose of building a schoolhouse. Booth made the transfer of real estate "for the good will that I entertain for the public school system."
Census:
By the census of 1850, James Booth was age 60 and his wife Nancy was 56. The children in house were James age (25 born abt 1825), Penelope (age 21 born 1829), Louisa (age 17 born 1833), and Susan Bacon (age 27 born abt 1823). Also in the house was William Evans (age 21 born abt 1829).
The family farmed land valued at $1,500. Next door was the farm of Augustus Brantley and his family.
Died:
What I think possibly happened was, after James wife, Nancy Ann Milligan died in 1850, he married Mary Lofton and moved with her to El Paso, AR where his son, Moses Love Booth, was living. James then died at the home of his son in 1861. Whomever wrote the bio incorrectly thought Mary was the mother of Moses Love Booth.....Patricia
James married MILLIGAN Nancy Ann. Nancy was born in 1794 in Hillsborough, Orange, North Carolina; died in 1861. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

| 7. | HUGHES Martha and died. Notes:
The White family was part of the group of settlers who came to Haywood County from Bertie County, NC very early in the 1830s. Eliza's mother, Martha Hughs White died in Bertie County in 1833
at the age of 39. Her father, Solomon died around 1837 in Haywood County. According to the Joe Cobb book, Martha Hughs White listed in her will her sons George, Charlton, and Thomas White and her daughters, Polly, Elizabeth, Nelly and Patsy White. She made her will in Oct 1832 and it was probated in Feb 1833. Martha's son Charlton White moved from Bertie to Haywood between 1830 - 1832. Either at that time, or at some point later, both Eliza and her father, Solomon also made the trip from Bertie to Haywood County.
Another family to join them on their journey to Haywood County was John Bembery and Penelope Trottman White. While the exact connection between the two families is not certain, Eliza
named her first son Bembery so there was certainly a significant connection. John and Penelope White's daughter Agatha remained a single woman until the age of 46 when she married 75-year-old John Hardy Cobb in 1873. John Hardy Cobb and his first wife, Harriet W. Castellaw were my third great grandparents.

Notes:
Stephen S. Booth (possible middle name was Shaybe), my fifth great grandfather, was born in Amelia County, Virginia in 1765 to John and Mary Smith Booth. He was very much the middle child as four children were born to the family before him and three after.
Four years after they were married, around 1790, Stephen and Penelope traveled along with a large group including his sister and bother-in-law, Benjamin and Agnes Booth Clardy, from Virginia to South Carolina to make a new home. The group settled in an area called Pendleton District, SC. According to "The Clardy Family History," the group also included Benjamin's three daughters and son-in-laws; John and Mary Clardy, David and Nancy Clardy Spearman and Jimmy and Sally Clardy Fleming. Other's who were have said to join them included Joab Clardy, Ellsworth Clardy, Henry Spencer, Polly Gambrell and others.
We know from her obit below that, in 1816, Agnes and Benjamin migrated to Franklin Co., TN.
Another story about the family and migration come from from J.B. Guthrie of Pelzor, SC who is a descendent of David and Mary Guthrie.
According to verbal family history, David Guthrie went to South Carolina to visit his brother-in-law, Stephen Booth (who married his sister Penelope). While he was down there he purchased 1,000 acres of land for $1,000.00, then returned home to Virginia for his wife, Mary Booth Guthrie, and their children. They loaded everything they could take on an ox cart and headed for SC. When they left, her wife's parents, John and Mary Smith Booth cried because the knew they would never see her again.
Not long after David and Mary Booth Guthrie moved to SC, Stephen and Penelope Guthrie Booth decided to move their family to Bedford Co., TN. According to family history, he tried to talk David into moving also but David told him he wished he had never left Virginia.
John and Mary Smith Booth did get to see their daughter again. David and Mary Booth Guthrie made a trip back to Virginia on horseback. They had to leave their children with a relative and since the trip took six months, when they finally returned, one of their smaller children did not know who they were.
