Edwin Booth

[maharba]

All these Booth lines are now supposed to be extinct. But I constantly come across new and old listings of folks claiming they are a cousin of Booth. But when you look at their genealogy, they almost never pan out. Many more want to be related to John Wilkes Booth, than to Lincoln. While in the case of Lincoln, many more folks claimed to be close friends and neighbors of Abraham Lincoln, than to the Booths.
