FM Steve, Thank you for the link to the old thread that I missed when I looked through what I thought was all of them on the current topic here.

I seem to be late to the party, again. Still, who was John Wilkes Booth that married Dollie Adeline Baker? We know (or I know) that it's unlikely David E. George married Louisa J. (Price) Payne, even tho Laura Ida Elizabeth Booth and her half-brother, McCager Payne, pursued that thought, along with Finis L. Bates.

Insofar as the article in the other thread for David Elihu George being from MS, that goes along with a 1931 expose by former postmaster George Rainey of Enid, OK, who claims they found the nephew, Willie George, a banker in TX.
