His daughter, Jewel Faith was my grandmother. Her sister Louise is still living in Ennis, TX. Their cousin Bernard Booth (the last male Booth) is still living as well. I was curious of Benjamin Franklin's (1811-1880) other children, particularly the three older sons that were killed in the Civil War. I located their names! I went to the Mississippi census and found the information. In 1850, living in Ohtibbeha County, Mississippi, Benjamin Booth (age 38) and wife Elizabeth McCowen (age 27) and their children.. James - age 12, John age 10, William age 6, Lotty age 5, Sarah age 3 and Rufus listed as zero (just a baby as he was born in 1849). It shows all of the children were born in this county in Mississippi.
