Booth escape route north

[L Verge]

There is also a Rhode Island version of the Martha Izola Mills story. Two members of the Surratt Society spent years doing historical and genealogical research on Martha and her lineage. The end result is a book that has been out for about twenty-five years, The Elusive Booths of Burrillville. The end result was nothing but frustration for the authors because they came up with nothing to prove the Mills story.

I have met several members of that family (This One Mad Act), however, and they are lovely people. They were very close with James O. Hall, who was helping them prove or dispel the "myth." They were willing to accept whatever the end result might be.
