This would be interesting to know. The aliases of the Confederate operatives whom Booth met at the Parker House in late July 1864 were Charles R. Hunter, A.J. Bursted, H.V. Clinton, and R.A. Leech. I do not think I have ever seen mention of the Parker House's register (if it even exists) for April 5th and April 6th, 1865 (the two nights Booth again stayed there).

You can find the "Omni Parker House" on Goggle. (Built 1855 Rebuilt 1927) They mention that Booth stayed there April 65. They also brag about their "Register". They show only 2016, but I'll bet they have the Register back to 1865.

If 1865 is available, you can find the 4 guys mentioned. If they are not shown with those names, then look for 4 names that all registered about the same time and/or show Canada as home.

I don't have time right now. If someone searches further, please let us know - so that we don't have to repeat what you already know.
Good Luck!
