"Booth" Was Not John Wilkes Real Last Name?

[Eva Elisabeth]

Found this from "The Mad Booths of Maryland":
"John Booth, a Jewish silversmith whose ancestors had been exiled from Portugal because of their radical political views. In London the refugees had continued their trade and free thinking, and John had married Wilkes' cousin. This Wilkes was the 'celebrated agitator John Wilkes of Westminster, London...John Wilkes Booth's father was Junius Brutus Booth."
