He received the family geneology and he is Talmadge Booth's
brother, Edwin.  He is compliling a book of the booth family.

"Our great, great, grandfather, Robert Booth (brother of your
great great grandfather, Col. Samuel Booth, of Snow Hill
Plantation, left Surry County in 1814 and settled in Troup
County, Georgia  Then one of his sons left Georgia in 1853
and settled in the Piney Woods section of East Texas, where
our family has been ever since."

Robert moved to Georgia by way of Edenton, NC, where he lived for
a time (ltr from Doris Jean Johnson).

Doris Jean lives across from Snow Hill, which is part of the
original plantation.  Edwin says that Troup County, Georgia
and their part of East Texas is almost a reproduction of the
Snow Hill area.

Book was to be published in 1974.
