Hi Gene,

I'll give you a call early next week after we recover from all the turkey. It's a little hectic here now.

I know of only two marriages of Samuel Booth. In 1817 he married Sarah Ellis and on Dec. 22, 1859 he married Mary Eliza Tatum Owen of Wakefield. He moved into her house and lived there until he died 1876. Mary died in 1891.

The Jean Johnson that you mentioned, does she live on 40 across from Snow Hill?
