He was born in 1843 and, if he went to school with Booth, he would have been just 10 years of age when he was at school with Booth who was 5 years senior according to the Spangler hyperlink. He obviously was not a Colonel and I'd struggle to know how he could have identified a 27 year old Booth ... 13 or so years later. I'm obviously missing something perhaps Mike Griffith could assist ?
