RE: Junius Booth's child William
Steve W.,
You have the wrong person. There were two Stephen Booths who enlisted into Rhode Island Regiments.

One who enlisted in Company D 4th Infantry Regiment and the other in Company B 1st Rhode Island Cavalry. Based on the pension index the biographical information you provided is for the R. I. Cav. Stephen Booth - who later moved to Kansas, not the Stephen Booth mentioned by Saragouzou. Apparently, the Kansas Stephen Booth is the uncle of Saragouzou's Stephen Booth.

Here's a link to right Stephen Booth's Find a Grave page:
