Thirdly--I bequeath to my son Peter Booth the land I purchased of Benjamin Philips the North side of the Lightwood Swamp containing by estimation two hundred acres also a tract of land on the aforesaid swamp which I purchased of Phillips Booth. Also one small tract of land adjoining which I purchased of Henry Blow containing forty five and a half acres to him and his heirs.

John Burgess Charles Bailey Probated 9 Sept. 1794. Moses Booth Sr.'s will further proves that Diana Morris is his second marriage by stating that upon her death or second marriage the land goes to son John. The land that he bequeathed to son John was purchased from Moses Booth Jr.and his wife SARAH (not the previously stated DIANA as some records mistakenly show as Moses Jr.'s wife) and given to LEWIS N. BRANCH from John Booth 'in his own right and as guardian to Ann and Patsey Booth April 1832' not LEWIS BOOTH as a Boothe microfilm and researcher states. The land record on the margin is hard to read but the name is clearly not LEWIS BOOTH. A copy of the land record is in the possession of Terri Jensen.

This is the correct one that married Diana Morris Surety for marrage posted by Robert Russell Wit to marriage: Samuel Kello.

Will was last in the possession of Mary Pulley in Ivor, Va., in 1936.

Robert gave to his son Shelly one hundred acres of land where he (Shelly) lived and which he bought from John Drew. He also gave him 400 pounds of tobacco in consideration of a survey made by him.
Shelly's will was made in 1771. BOOTH, Shelly. Leg.- son Phillip; son John; daughter Patience the wife of John James. D. August 17, 1771. Re. Sept. 12, 1771. Wit. Moses Wood, William Booth, Charles Briggs. Ex., son John Booth. Page 434
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 received a tract of land from the English crown on 1723.2.20 situated in Lightwood Swamp, Isle of Wight County, Colony of Virginia. The terms of the grant were:
"Know ye that for diverse good Causes and Considerations But more especially for and in Consideration of the Sum of thirty ffive Shillings of good and lawful money for our use paid to Our Receiver General of Our Revenue in this our Colony & Dominion of Virginia We have given granted and confirmed And by these presents for us Our heirs and Successors do give grant and confirm unto Robert Booth of Isle of Wight County one certain tract or parcell of Land containing Three hundred and Twenty Acres lying & being on the South East Side of the Lightwood Swamp in the County aforesaid and bounded as followeth (to witt) Begining at a pine by the Side of the Said Swamp a
