The book, "Booth Family History: One Lineage from Thomas, Sr. (1705-1767) of Amelia County, Virginia to Present" includes some very helpful research on Thomas and his descendants. The book was written by Timothy Douglas Booth (1948-2002) of Centreville, VA who was a descendant of Thomas Booth.
"On his last visit in April 1993, he was accompanied by two other Booths also descended
from Thomas, but from a different son. They video-taped their visit and the author has a
copy of the tape. According to Carlson, Thomas obtained first part of his land in 1724. He
built a brick house in 1725 using bricks which came over from England as ballast in the boats.
Also, the house was constructed from locally made bricks from reddish clay. Both kinds of
brick are found on the property and are shown in the videotape. On the original site, there now
stands a wooden house constructed about 1840. Mr. and Mrs. Ben
According to the book, Thomas was a "planter" who, at the height of his success, owned 2,000 acres with a plantation on which he farmed and raised livestock. At the time, only one planter in ten had an estate of more than a thousand acres so he was considered quite wealthy. His plantation was located in Southside Virginia in present-day Amelia County about 23 miles west-northwest of Petersburg and 27 miles southwest of Richmond. He lived most of his adult life in this area.
Thomas and Elizabeth had seven children; five were sons and two were daughters.

BOOTH FAMILY.
Some Descendants of the Gloucester Booths. By MRS. WIRT JOHNSON CARRINGTON.
That the Southsidc Booths and the Gloucester Booths are entirely different families seems to be clearly proven by the following records: First, their coata-of-arms are entirely dissimilar; also their family names, though it is a peculiar coincidence that a family of Southside Booths bought and settled in Amelia County on land on Swe;ithouse Creek, that had formerly belonged to Thomas Booth, the elder, by patent bearing date September 29, 1735'971,554 acres which the aaid Thomas Booth, Sr., had willed to hia respective sons, which he mentions in his will, recorded in Amelia County, September 15, 1758.
From family tradition we have it that George Booth of Gloucester was the father of Thomas of Prince George County, and following this Thomas Booth up we find that he was the Thomas Booth of Amelia County who received the patent of 1,554 acres on Sweathouse Creek, Prince George County [Amelia was formed from Prince George in 1734].
We will begin with George Booth of Gloucester.
In the Land Office of Richmond, Va., Book (II), page 102, to George Booth of Surry, 202Vi, acres on Turkey Kgg Creek in Prince George County, June 27, 1722. Book (13), page 203, to Thomas Booth of Prince George, 300 acres, Cove of Wallace's Creek, Prince George, October 13, 1727. Book (13), page 204, to Thomas Booth, of Prince George County, 150 acres, October 13, 1727.
Thomas Booth, died in Amelia County; married Elizabeth ---------. Will dated September 15, 1758. John Booth
(son of Thomas, son of George) "leaves to his wife, Elizabeth (Cobb) Booth, for life." See will in this article, as recorded at Amelia Courthouse Will Book (5), page 39, dated July 15, 1793; leaving his son, John C. Booth, one of his executors. | BOOTH Thomas Booth, Sr. (I12296)

Gene.....this is the sampler Ann Tottington Rudd (William's sister) made and is quite famous.....it was the key to my finding William and his family.....in books, magazines...and even on this site from the library....it has always said Ann "Torrington" Rudd......
You can plainly see that she stitched Tottington......
I noticed your ancestry profile said you live in virginia.....is there any chance you could get them to make this correction...??
Like maybe take your shoe off and pound it on the table......didn't anybody ever notice it said Tottington...!!!
I'm going to try and put this on "Crane - Grady" genealogy.....I'll let you know when I get it finished....

William Tottington Rudd was the fourth child born to William Rudd (1775-1821) and his wife, Mary Anderson. Both of his parents were born in England, his father having specified that he was born in Nottinghamshire. The entire Rudd family endured the War of 1812 and many of them also endured the Civil War in Alexandria as well. William Tottington's father, William, died in Alexandria in 1821 and there are no clues as to what happened to his mother.
When William Tottington was a young man, he moved to Amsterdam, Botetourt County, VA where he met and married his wife, Lydia Amanda Hutchins on July 28, 1832. William Tottington Rudd established himself as a cabinet maker in Botetourt County. He and Lydia were the parents of five children: Mary Ann, John Wesley, George Washington, James William and Matilda Jane.
The Civil War was not kind to Botetourt County and the end of that war saw many families leaving the war's destruction and moving to Iowa. William Rudd and his family were among those who headed for Iowa.
William and Lydia were in Logan, Harrison County, Iowa by December of 1873. Lydia died on December 14 of that year in Logan. After Lydia's death, William remained in Iowa until about 1896 when left many of his family members and moved to Downey, California, where he died in 1898.
William Tottington Rudd was the only one of William and Mary's children to leave the Washington DC/Alexandria VA area. So he is responsible for many of the Rudds we find today in Botetourt County, Virginia as well as Harrison County, Iowa and Los Angeles County, California.
Inscription:
No marker has been found, but cemetery records called William "William Toddington Rudd". He was the grandson of John Rudd and Elizabeth Tottington, thereby indicating that his middle name, like that of many of his sibings, is Tottington, not Toddington. Cemetery records also indicate that he was born in 1810, but Alexandria records give the date stated on this memorial. It should be noted that at that time, Alexandria was a part of the District of Columbia. | RUDD William Tottington (I320)

Wife was possibly Elizabeth Rogers, although this hasn't been proved.
From The Ellis Line From Surry-Sussex, Virginia (1978) by Dixie McCrary, page 132: "He was either a son, or grandson, of Jeremaih Ellis I; possibly a grandson, son of Jeremiah II, if born as late as 1690 (when Jeremiah II would have been 19 years of age). His name does not appear on any extant tithe list, the latest available being 1703. He may have reached tithable age in 1704, with year of birth, 1688: Court records, Surry Co.(1691-1713), p. 362, show his appointment, 18 Apr 1711, with Thos.Bentley and Thos. Beddingfield, to value and appraise estate of John Lile; for such a responsibility he must have reached age of 18 years,possibly 21. Indications are that his first child was born 1711. "Surry Deeds, Etc., No. 7, pp. 356-7, show deed of 17 June 1721, of Jeremiah Ellis (not shown whether Sr. or Jr.), for the nominal sum of 5 shillings, to Benjamin Ellis of 150 acres of land on s. side of Blackwater Swamp, apparently the same tract received by Jeremiah I by Va .Land Grant of 16 June 1774. Here again, the title "Sr." or "Jr." was not used; absence of the title suggest the elder Jeremiah." Also from source above, page 132-3: "Benjamin Rogers, who d. 28 May 1744 (Albemarle Parish Register), was named as a son in will of William Rogers (b.c. 1657, d. c. 1727) (will made 28 Jan. 1725, pr. 17 May 1727, Bk. 7, p. 706); that will named as a daughter, Elizabeth Ellis b. c. 1687, according to best computation that can be made from available evidence. The Ellis to who she was married has not been identified, but evidently was someone closely related to Caleb and Benjamin Ellis, possible Jeremiah II, whose wife was Elizabeth. If the wife of Jeremiah II, she may have been the mother of Caleb (if he was b. 1702), but she could not have been the mother of Benjamin. She may have been Benjamin's wife; no record has been found ofthe name of his wife." Page 133: "His will [Benjamin Ellis I] made 3 Dec. 1758, pr. 19 Jan.1759 (Sussex Will Bk. A, p. 112), leaves to his "Dear and Loving Wife,"(name not given), the plantation for her natural life, and names his sons: William, Jonathan, Jeremiah, Benjamin and Joseph (see Summary on each), and daughters, Mary Proctor, Priscilla Blow, Sarah Andrews,Susanna Andrews and Elizabeth Moreing." | ELLIS Benjamin, I (I12689)
