The old saying is that "truth is stranger than fiction." The following is the first post listed in response to the original tweet (which I thought was already at the outer limits of absurdity):

"Yes and its very conflicting. I'm pretty angry at ol Abe. I feel as though he tried to stitch the nation back together, but instead he should have decimated the South. The fact that it is not even well known that he ended the war as a kindness to the South, is also infuriating."

I must admit that I was one of those who did not know that "ol Abe" had "ended the war as a kindness to the South."

Hello David,

I also am one of those that did not know that Abraham Lincoln had acted out of kindness towards the South by ending the civil War. His last photographs pictured an extremely tired man. Having visited the battlefields, being confronted with the deaths of so many, whatever the cause... In any event, he must have had embraced the peace.
I think no pedestal is high enough to honour President Lincoln, from which death was kind to him, been spared from more hardship with the loss of another child.

I am not an American, I am Dutch (Amsterdam); President Lincoln, in my eyes is equal to our Admiral Michael de Ruyter.

"truth is stranger than fiction," certainly when it comes to the background of John Wilkes Booth's family, especially that of his father's first marriage and aftermath of his divorce in connection with the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
I have put my findings forward, open for discussion about some strange events which entails an Old Dutch Tradition; the so called 'Abraham & Sarah 50th anniversary'.

Here is what I have found;
Richard Junius Booth (half brother of John Wilkes) married Sarah P. Ware on the last day of December 1849.
Mary Ann Holmes' mother was Sarah Holmes and when Mary Ann became a widow in 1852 she was 50 years old, according to the Old Dutch Tradition she was a 'Sarah'.
JWB had also a late half sister named Amelia, born in UK London on the fifth of October 1815, sadly she died (infancy).
Amelia's father Junius Brutus Booth, married in the same year of his divorce (Good Friday)from Amelia and Richard's mother (she was from Brussels - once one of the provinces of the Netherlands). The marriage took place on the 13th birthday of JWB; May 10, 1851 or 05-10-1851 which I, as an European reads this as; fifth of October 1851.
Can you see the painful coincident?

John Wilkes Booth's parents had married on his 13th birthday and 13 years later, on a 'Good Friday' an 'Abraham' became the means of Mary Ann's son's death and on the date of 05-10-1865 like Amelia's 50th birthday (she was according the Old Dutch Tradition a 'Sarah), John Wilkes Booth's birthday was from that year on also a memorial one.

Sarah P. Ware, Richard Junius Booth's bride, how easily can this be pronounced as 'Sarah B. (be) Ware.
Like I wrote earlier I have written this down in this 'Lincoln Discussion Symposium' and be surprised about the little response on this topic.

I have asked if someone can pass on to me the date that JWB and his brothers had scheduled in 1865 their second beneficial play of 'Julius Caesar'. So far no reaction.
In 1888 ( 10th of May) JWB would have been 50 years old Abraham), his sister Asia had emigrated to England and died there in 1888.

In UK London, on the 10th of May 1888 one Martha Tabram (39) had her last birthday and died on the 7th of August. She was stabbed 39 times, like one stab wound for every year she had lived.
Here follows a rebus 'Tabram'- T from Torah - Abram= Abraham.
Another victim:
Mary Ann Nichols 'Polly' murdered a couple of days after her birthday. Polly was the nickname of the Lord Mayor of London's daughter in 1774-5 (John Wilkes)
Again another victim:
Annie Chapman, found in Hanbury Street in the area of John Street annex to Wilkes Street near Booth Street; John-Wilkes-Booth. One of the shelters of General Booth's Salvation Army was located in Hanbury Street
Double murders:
Elizabeth (Eliza) Stride and Catherine (Kate) Eddowes; the latter's last birthday was on the 14th of April 1888.
In UK London; the late Sarah and Richard Junius Booth their son John Baptist Booth had married in 1875 in London with the 19 year old Eliza Kate Montandon.

Mary Jeannette Kelly in 1888, mutilated and found during Lord Mayors Day (John Wilkes Lord Mayor of London).

Clearly someone went into much pain to put John Wilkes Booth back in the picture again in 1888. So, what about the possibility that JWB was not the assassin on the 14th of April 1865 and was in 1888 not 'Jack the Ripper'. Why not Rathbone as the assassin and John Wilkes Booth was in the Presidential Box to promote the next coming play of Julius Caesar, which explains his dagger and the words of six Semper Tyrannus.

Rewriting history?
Do not think so, it is more that so much has been written; especially by Professor Stephen M. Archer's in his 'Junius Brutus Booth Theatrical Prometheus' which brings about the saying, "time reveals everything".

Curious, what you think about this.
Take also on board that in 1890 Abraham's only grandson died in London and that Bramwell Booth, the son of General William Booth and the editor of the Review of Reviews Mr. W.T. Stead had some strange correspondences with people like; Mark Twain, Tolstoy, Queen Victoria, the Prince of Wales, The King of Belgium and many others in order to stop the mass murderer.

In 1912 the Titanic hit an iceberg on the 14th of April, on board was Mr. W.T. Stead; died like Abraham Lincoln in 1865 on the 15th of April.
Amon others I have here The English Catalogue of Books by Sampson Low & Marson (1890) from the King's College of London which had been tempered with and places Mr. W.T. Stead's 'Story that Transformed the World' on the back page of the Memoirs of Mr. E. Sothern better known as Lord Dundreary in my American Cousin. Mr. W.T Stead's 'Story That Transformed the World' was based on the Passion Play at Oberammergau last article of the Review of Reviews 1890 with its pictures from 1880.
I have here also 'Edwin Booth' recollections by his daughter Edwina Booth Grossmann in which is to find her story of her journey with her father in Oberammergau where in 1880 she and her father had watched 'Passion Play'.

Found so much more, including 'Punch', or the London Sharivari of 1878, editor Tom Taylor;playwright of 'My American Cousin'; this goes to September 3rd, John Sleeper Clarke's birthday, he was the husband of Asia Booth. On that day in 1878 the Thames Disaster took place whereby more than 650 people had died, among them where the 50 year old mother with her seven year old daughter who never returned home in Rathbone Street, Westminster. In this area is also Booth Place and the particular street names surrounding Berners Street, Westminster; (Elizabeth Stride corpse was found in Berner Street Spitalfields and from her has been said she was on board of the 'Princess Alice' Paddle Steamer on the 3rd of September 1878) but Margaret Street as Margaret's Ness or Tripcock point, Princes Street and Castle Great Castle Street together they forms the bleu print of the Thames Disaster.

Getting late, but as you see I have a lot of material which indeed is stranger than fiction and in a way, I wish it was the latter.

All the best David hope you are a steady reader....
