      Subject: BOOTH -- Va Booth descendancy
      Date: Wed, 27 Aug 1997 13:03:50 -0600
      This report is from Talmadge Boothe (TX) that a few of us have tried to
      contact on his line. We know there are errors listed in the report and to
      the best of my ability I will try to correct them as I go along.
      [Talmadge's son has not written back, either, so the connection is not good
      here. Take the information as a possible link, and then do your own research]
      This is my line through Moses Booth Sr., and several other of you connect
      into the line. I am hoping that with the further down generations some of
      your other cousins might also find your links. Moses Booth Sr., would be
      the oldest child of Robert Booth (III) listed below. Talmadge has given
      much erroneous information on the two Moses' and hopefully I have helped
      clarify them in previous posts. I won't list the 'wrong' information that
      he has, so the webpage would be the best place to find the correct
      information that I will omit here in the report.

      I am not giving all the information down to the 1900's births since this is
      too contemporary a time for us to be searching. Let me know if any of you
      cousins connect.
