Robert Booth married Sarah (--?--) probably between 1689 and 170. Her birth name may have been "Shelly". Sarah was identified in the record of a law suit in Surry County, Virginia, as "Sarah, wife of Robert Booth" which indicates that she was appearing in the suit and thus must have had an interest in her own right in the outcome of the lawsuit. The suit had been filed against Sarah, the wife and the Executrix of Philip Shelly, deceased. Sarah Wakefield Shelly, the executrix, became the wife of Christopher Smith during the administration of the will of the estate of her deceased husband Philip. This court record and her son named "Shelly" are indications that Sarah's birth name might have been "Shelly". In addition, Sarah Booth's grandson Philip Booth (the son of Shelly Booth) may have been a namesake of Philip Shelly of Surry County, Virginia.

Robert Booth probably died in 1759 in Nottoway Parish, Southampton County, Colony of Virginia. Although Robert Booth's will was dated 6 October 1757, it was not presented to the court for probate until the 10th of January in 1760. It appears likely therefore that he died sometime in late 1759.<5>
Robert Booth's will was probated on 1760.1.10 in Southampton County, Colony of Virginia. The Southampton Court stated: "At a Court held for the County of Southampton the 10th day of January 1760 This Will was presented on Court by Moses Booth the Exor therein named proved by the oaths of Joseph Gray & Barnaby Bailey two of the witnesses thereto & ordered to be Recorded and on the motion of the said Exor who made oath according to Law Certificate was Granted him for obtaining a probat [sic] hereof in due (last line illegible) Test R Kello."<6>

Robert Booth probably died in 1759 in Nottoway Parish, Southampton County,Colony of Virginia. Although Robert Booth's will was dated 6 October 1757, it was not presented to the court for probate until the 10th of January in 1760. It appears likely therefore that he died sometime in late 1759.<5>
Robert Booth's will was probated on 1760.1.10 in Southampton County, Colony of Virginia. The Southampton Court stated "At a Court held for the County of Southampton the 10th day of January 1760 This Will was presented on Court by Moses Booth the Exor therein named proved by the oaths of Joseph Gray & Barnaby Bailey two of the witnesses thereto & ordered to be Recorded and on the motion of the said Exor who made oath according to Law Certificate was Granted him for obtaining a probat [sic] hereof in due (last line illegible) Test R Kello."<6>
Robert Booth's estate was the subject of an inventory dated 1760.2.7 and filed by executor Moses Booth the 13th of March in Southampton County, Colony of Virginia. The record of the inventory stated "A true Inventory of the Estate of Robert Booth deced given with under my hand 27th

Date: Wed, 27 Aug 1997 13:03:50 -0600
This report is from Talmadge Boothe (TX) that a few of us have tried to
contact on his line. We know there are errors listed in the report and to
the best of my ability I will try to correct them as I go along.
[Talmadge's son has not written back, either, so the connection is not good
here. Take the information as a possible link, and then do your own research]
This is my line through Moses Booth Sr., and several other of you connect
into the line. I am hoping that with the further down generations some of
your other cousins might also find your links. Moses Booth Sr., would be
the oldest child of Robert Booth (III) listed below. Talmadge has given
much erroneous information on the two Moses' and hopefully I have helped
clarify them in previous posts. I won't list the 'wrong' information that
he has, so the webpage would be the best place to find the correct
information that I will omit here in the report.

I am not giving all the information down to the 1900's births since this is
too contemporary a time for us to be searching. Let me know if any of you
cousins connect.
