Is there a place that this probate document is, so that I can read it. Someone pointed me to a Robert Booth and Sarah Filmore, but the will involved with this couple does not indicate Barsheba or Sarah. Thank you for any info and for responding<br /><br />SandraSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12398798498523869839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16682236.post-51732578457595902542014-04-26T21:28:02.987-04:002014-04-26T21:28:02.987-04:00In Captain James Booth's father's Probate,...In Captain James Booth's father's Probate, Robert Booth, the only children that are actually named as being heirs to Robert Booth's Estate were John Booth of Indiana, James Booth, Sarah Thomas (wife of Evan Thomas), and Barsheba (wife of Alexander McClelland). The Will was dated 1759 with the later Court case dated 1834. Unfortunately, no other children for James Booth were listed. I'm afraid I haven't gotten any farther on this line, but have read about the possibility of othe r children and wives.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833838077780638106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16682236.post-86026623093408524322014-04-13T02:30:07.871-04:002014-04-13T02:30:07.871-04:00Capt James is my grandfather also. Perhaps you cou...Capt James is my grandfather also. Perhaps you could shed light on his wives, he had several other children, Daniel, whom I am descended from. But there are discrepencies about Nancy Stalnaker who has never been proven as his wife, other than traditional stories. There is man who say he was married to Elizabeth Merrifield, and thus had Jane, Bersheba, John , James and Sarah. With Nancy he had William (killed by Indians), Daniel (who was also a rev war patriot), and Catherine who married Ignatius Baker and moved to Ohio and are buried in Trenton Cemetery. Recently another possible wife was suggested, Sara Turner? who married Edmund Freeman after James death, and being possible as his wife as Doug Houchin found,"In the spring of 1797 Captain Booth's son John (of Shelby County KY) sold the homestead on Booth;'s Creek to Josiah Davisson. Meanwhile Edmond Freeman and wife Sarah--identified in the document as "widow and relict of James Booth, deceased"--conveyed Sarah's dower in the property to Davisson. (See Harrison County Deeb Book 3, pp 1 and 8.)"<br /><br />If you could maybe add to this or find some truths, it surely would be appreciated.I stumbldd on your blog in trying research on the wives, as needing to know the mothers of the children. Thanks for the wonderful letter by James. <br /><br />Have a great day!<br />SandraSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12398798498523869839noreply@blogger.com
