Haywood County, TN [1] |
- It appears that by 1830, Stephen, along with his sons James and Benjamin had moved further west to Haywood County, TN, near present day Alamo, to an area that would later become Crocket County.
Stephen S. Booth is listed as an early settler of the area.
Stephen S. Booth shows up in a jury in Haywood County in September 1831.
By 1830, James and his family had moved to Haywood County where he appears to have been very involved in the legal and community affairs. He shows up in numerous records and had many dealing with other ancestors of mine including Castellaws, Cobbs, Brantleys, Steeles and others.

| Died |
1861 |
El Paso, AR [1] |
- What I think possibly happened was, after James wife, Nancy Ann Milligan died in 1850, he married Mary Lofton and moved with her to El Paso, AR where his son, Moses Love Booth, was living. James then died at the home of his son in 1861. Whomever wrote the bio incorrectly thought Mary was the mother of Moses Love Booth.....Patricia
