Was it Booth in the Barn?

Based on samples that once were displayed in the Court House in Caroline County, my independent conclusion is "It was Dark". But the statement provided by Garrett said "he had red hair." I am adding this information only because IT EXISTS.
Several years ago there was a descendant of the Cawoods living in Southern Maryland and she had the idea that it was Cawood in the barn.- with redish hair.

Apologies if you thought I was implying you thought the hair was actually red - I know you didn't. I was just adding a random detail about the hair being black vs. brown.
On track: I do find it interesting that Garrett - or whoever wrote the statement for him - added the "red hair" bit, and I had never heard of a "Cawood" thought to be JWB in the barn (I just know the usual suspects - I know some of you other folks have heard of plenty more! Ha! ). Fascinating stuff.
