    Notes 
    • Benjamin Booth,born 1811, we think in Edgecombe, NC (was # 8 of 11 children) Married Elizabeth McCowen in Oct. 1835 in Limestone Co., Ala. They lived in Ohktibbeha, MS for some years...children were born there. Moved to TX in 1859.
      His three oldest sons were killed in the Civil War, or soon after. Only Rufus and the sisters survived.
      Died in 1880 in Chico, Wise Co., TX, Buried in the Booth Cemetery there.

      Description: I am the descendent of Benjamin Booth. He was my 3rd great grandfather, His son, Rufus was my great, great grandfather and his son, Benjamin Franklin Booth was my great grandfather (the only one that I knew growing up). 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.
