In the 1820 census records for Greene County, Georgia there is a Beverly Booth listed on page 228 and Robert Booth on page 226. They are both in Capt Grigorys District. Robert Booth is still in Greene Co., GA in the 1830 census but Beverly is not ... Robyn (davidh9066@aol.com)

Morris' my home. Under his hospitable roof I was kindly treated, especially by his kind wife during a long spell of sickness. The churches of Pungo (now Oak Grove) and Muddy Creek called for my ordination. I was solemnly ordained to the ministry by Elders Samuel Brown and Smith Sherwood, June 12, 1830, serving some two years or more as the pastor of said churches. … After the death of Elder Nathaniel Chambliss and removal of Elder Jeremiah B. Jeter to the Northern Neck of Virginia … Sappony and Seacock in Sus-sex extended to me a call, also Meherrin in Southampton, where old Brother Robert Murrell lived and labored for many years, succeeded by Hardy Cobb. I found it in a very feeble and declining condition, the house of worship going to decay. The church at Seacock was not only without a house to keep them dry, but the church was about extinct. The people of the world said if I would consent to preach for them they would furnish money and build a meetinghouse on a more desirable site. Lemuel Bain proffered the land, the people went to work and soon built a house near the spot where Elam now stands - changed its name after its removal from Seacock to Elam by the suggestion of Brother Beverly Booth, of Surry. I held meeting from house to house; in most instances none of the family were professors. The result was a glorious revival extending in different sections, numbering about ninety-five conversions. Brother James L. Gwathmey, who was missionary in our bounds, held a series of meetings near what was then called Cotton's Springs. … The result was a number, in addition to those converted at Elam, determined to build a house of worship and constituted a church now called Newville. … Owing to declining health I was forced to resign in favor of Elder Caleb C. Gordon. … Paralytic stroke, both sides, after baptizing seventy-two persons on a hot July day. I baptized about 1,400 persons, assisted in constituting several churches and ordaining several ministers and deacons. … A second stroke of paralysis prostrated me, al-most destroying my nervous system. The erysipelas in my left leg from hip to knee followed, causing the flesh to slough off, attended with lockjaw, the most excruciating pain endured by man to live; indeed, my physician said but for my strong faith I could not have endured such pain … The doctor told me I was the second person he had ever read of or known of to recover; he graduated in medicine in France. … My delicate situation was such my friends advised me to desist from public speaking. … I gave the prime of my life to the churches and to the public, not exacting remuneration. I told them that I could live without being charge-able to them, advising them to give all they could to other objects. … I married Mary C. Atkinson, in 1832, who is the mother of seventeen children, eleven living. Two sons were killed near Richmond in 1862."
