Notes:

Gene Harris: -- Percy Jackson, would be your father. FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Oh. Daddy, Daddy was a merchant -- Gene Harris: That's Percy Jackson? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: -- right. And my mother was a postmaster. They had postmaster and the store together. Gene Harris: Now, what was the store? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Savage. Gene Harris: Was there a name on it? Did the store have a name. FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Well, my grandmother's brother, Barrett, had a big old country store like, big old country store, and there was a Savage across, there's an intersection there. So it was a big Savage store there, but Waverly(phonetic). Not Waverly, Barrett, my grandmother's brother, had the post office there. I don't remember in the store, but he retired. So when he retired, my mother took the service and passed it and became postmaster there. So my father started out with a little old garage and then he moved his warehouse up to the big store that had a big floor to it. TIM: Is there a sign on it that says, Boothe General Store, or -- FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Not then. After that my father bought that piece of land, and, and built his own store. And that's when he had his sign, P.J. Booth, what do you call it -- TIM: General store? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: -- pay as you go, you know. There were a lot of blacks that weren't paying. They ________________ in good with him. TIM: Credit wasn't -- FRANCIS A. BOOTH: So the post office was moved there, too. And, and besides that, Dad was quite a, a good businessman, because he drove a school bus for 25 years. I said, when he came to live with us, Why did you, why did you drive a school bus from Save to Berrysville(phonetic) which is about 10 miles on a horse during the wintertime when the snow sometimes was 2 feet deep, deep? And he said, To save money. Keep from paying gas. And then rode back. That's how he started out. So he drove a school bus then. And then when they switched schools, he drove one of the first school buses that was a chassis, had a chassis -- TIM: Chassis with a body built on it -- FRANCIS A. BOOTH: -- with a body built on the side, where you just roll up the curtains and so forth. And then when the first school buses that looks like the buses today, was when my mother died, that was 1929. I rode in that school bus, a new school bus. I know that. TIM: And he also drove a dump truck or something, too -- FRANCIS A. BOOTH: And anyway, he, he was paid about $100 a month for driving the school bus. And then in the summertime he had two dump trucks. I don't know whether he rented them or how, how it was, but that was when they were fixing the roads. And so he had two, two dump trucks with people working, driving, while he was in the store. So he had three things going at one time.

Okay. Let's go to Percy Jackson BOOTH, who was born June 6, 1893. He was born in Surry County, Virginia, and he died on March 3rd 1983, and he's buried in Claremont, Virginia, at St. Anne's Church. He was married November 10th, 1930. And, let's see. His first wife was Myrtle -- TIM: Martha Myrtle Clemons. Gene Harris: -- Martha Myrtle Clemons, who was born 1900. TIM: Prince George County. Gene Harris: And they were married, it looks like, April 23rd, 1918. FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Prince George County, and they were married in, in my grandfather's home. Gene Harris: Okay. FRANCIS A. BOOTH: I sat in the living room after they restored it. Gene Harris: So they were married -- FRANCIS A. BOOTH: -- it was a pretty place they were married. Gene Harris: They were married at the Thaddeus Floyd farmhouse? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Married at my mother's, the J.W. Clements. Gene Harris: Oh, the Clements farmhouse? Okay. She apparently died the 23rd of January, 1929? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Right. SPEAKER 4: I thought that Daddy died in 1984? TIM: It was '83. MR. DOWNEY: '83. FRANCIS A. BOOTH: '83? That's what he said. Gene Harris: Okay. Now, let's see. The second wife was Martha V. McCoy, M-C-C-O-Y. She was born September 11th, 1909, in Surry County, Virginia. Her father was Isaac -- FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Oh, wait a minute. Gene Harris: -- Alva McCoy. I-S-A-A-C, Alva, A-L-V-A, McCoy, was her father. And her mother's name was Elva, E-L-V-A, Jane McCoppin, M-C-C-O-P-P-I-N. FRANCIS A. BOOTH: I don't know whether that's correct or not, but I think that Martha was the one that wrote that. Gene Harris: Okay. FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Because I didn't do that. TIM: It looks like your handwriting, Mother. FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Well, that, that is not my handwriting. TIM: It's not? It could be hers, then. FRANCIS A. BOOTH: It's hers. I put something extra in there and squeezed it in, that's probably mine. But somebody else wrote that. Gene Harris: They had, let's see. Percy Jackson had three children: Francis A. BOOTH, Percy Jackson BOOTH, Jr., and Bonnie Beryl BOOTH. FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Beryl is another ______________ BOOTH family. Gene Harris: Okay. Now, were all three, which, which wife were these children by? TIM: This one by the Clemons, that's mother. Gene Harris: Okay. So Francis, you're mother, you're Francis A. BOOTH? And your mother was Myrtle Clements? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Right. Gene Harris: C-L-E-M-E-N-T-S? The other two children, Percy Jackson BOOTH, Jr., and Bonnie Beryl BOOTH, were by Martha V. McCoy? Francis A. BOOTH was born when? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: December 6, 1919. Gene Harris: December 6, 1919? FRANCIS A. BOOTH: Yes.

Gene Harris: Addendum: This is information on Francis's father, who, now this was. TIM: Percy Jackson BOOTH. Gene Harris: Okay. FRANCIS A. BOOTH: My father, when my father and mother got married, my mother had relatives in Hampton, Virginia, and they came to, my father and mother came to Hampton, Virginia, and they rode the streetcar from Hampton to Newport News for a year, and they had a little boy born, but died the same day it was born. My grandmother said it was probably the cord or something like that, but after that my father moved back to the country. I don't know why, but he always loved the country. And so he moved to Surry County and that's where I was born.
