John Wilkes Booth Ring

[PaigeBooth]

As many of us know, Lucy Hale gave JWB a ring that he wore on his pinky finger. As the days to Lincoln's assassination drew near, Sam Chester (when he met with Booth in New York in early April) noticed JWB was very fond of this particular ring and Booth told Chester he was engaged.

Does anyone know whatever happened to this ring? Was Booth wearing it the night he assassinated Lincoln???

Attached is a picture of Booth wearing a ring on his pinky finger. I do, however, have doubts that the ring in this picture is the one from Hale. I've seen many photos of Booth that show him wearing a ring. Those pictures including the one I have attached would have been prior to the time he courted Lucy. Did Booth own other pinky rings before the one from Lucy???? And if so, was he wearing one when he died? If he was, where is the ring now?
