What I am saying ‘‘tis that the Houstons and Hamlins had extensive reasons, transportation to escape routes any where in the world via the Potomac River. Plenty of extended family around where Booth was killed if in deed he was killed? They were the vast beneficiaries of Lincoln’s death and had links to the murderer.

The actual players and conspirators were mere pawns. For example, the Houstons were married to the Grays. There was a picture of Alice Gray in Booth's pocket. 3 years after Lincoln’s death a Houston married a Garrett.

Thank you for your response. I will grant you (no pun intended!) that there were numerous people, individually and collectively, who had motivation and the resources to formulate and carry out a plot to kill Lincoln. However, there are four elements there. People having the motivation and resources to kill Lincoln caused him no physical harm. It was the formulation of a plot and its execution (again, no pun intended!) that resulted in Lincoln's death. So, I would have to see some evidence beyond having motivation and resources, that the Houstons, Hamlins, and the others you named actually formulated a plot and engaged JW Booth (or anyone else) to kill Lincoln. (Just my perspective, which I hope will be received as intended, as a constructive comment.)
