In case you have not visited Dave Taylor's site recently, I have started a project to list all known attendees at Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865. Yes, it's ambitious, but thanks to the great work of previous authors, the spreadsheet has nearly 500 names, including the theater employees.

My aim is to have a single location to summarize or evaluate eyewitness accounts, for example: how many people heard Booth utter which phrase, and at which part of the theater; how many people claimed to carry Lincoln across the street, etc.

Much work remains to fill in the details, as I have prioritized listing the names with basic sourcing info. I wanted to publish this sooner rather than later, in hopes others can contribute. To that end, please let me know if you're aware of additional attendees, or errors in the list. In time, this can be a valuable source for genealogy and research.

I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Elizabeth "Elsabet" Kaplan. I am both Dr. Mudd's great-great-granddaughter and first cousin, six times removed, of President Lincoln's Aunt Mary (Mudd) Lincoln; she was Mordecai Lincoln's wife.

I joined the Symposium a couple days ago. When I did so, I wrote to Roger and told him who I am because I wanted to be certain he admitted me. I'm not just some weirdo, although my husband Brian might beg to differ.

This morning, I received Roger's request, asking me to post what I'd written to him. Here is the substantive portion of my email:

"I registered with the Symposium a moment ago. You won't have heard of me before, most likely. Stella (Mudd) Thelen is my mother. Tom Mudd is obviously my uncle. Richard Mudd was my grandfather, and I primarily grew up at his home. So obviously Sam Mudd was my great-great-grandfather. I am writing a book about what it has been like being part of this family.

When I was about 12, I learned Dr. Mudd had slaves. I didn't really want to know much more than that. But I loved my grandpa, so I sometimes went to his speeches. I was living in Virginia and working in DC when the DC appellate court heard the case on the ABCMR review. So I went with my family to the hearing. My experience of that situation was a bit different; I was in the Pentagon Metro station trying to go to work when the plane hit the building on 9/11. I well-understood the government's need to end terrorism in DC as promptly as possible. I was torn, as you can imagine.

Last September, 2025, I was nearly done writing a memoir about overcoming amnesia from a traumatic assault in 1987. I decided to investigate my great-great-grandfather's situation, certain of his guilt. I'd passed the Ohio bar and worked for a short time as a criminal defense attorney. I'd also worked for a US inventor who supplies engineering services to NASA and the USAF; I took charge of helping them stop an international criminal conspiracy and was successful. So I bring something new to the table.

I am currently conducting my own investigation into my ancestor's story, unbiased as much as possible because I truly do want to know what happened. I want to understand my family's penchant for hiding secrets because I believe that led, in part, to my amnesia."

---

That was my email. I was sure of Dr. Mudd's guilt when I started reading about him in an investigative fashion last September. I thought it might take me about a day or so to learn all I needed to know. I started out by reading "Blood on the Moon" because I figured that was a good intro to the other side of the story. But it left me with more questions than answers. I'm now well into my third read-through of the trial transcripts and numerous writings. I hope to be done with that this month. I'll probably be done with this umpteenth draft around June. So I'll have a somewhat completed manuscript sometime this fall. Hopefully!

I'm scheduled to speak at the Southern Maryland Civil War Round Table in May of 2027.

I look forward to meeting each of you. Please feel free to introduce yourself. If you have a story to share about my family, I'd love to hear it. Also, if you want to tell me your opinion, I'm open to that too. I'm expecting some people to hate me, some people to be proud of me, and most people to be in the middle.]]>

Rich Hill was the home of Samuel Cox, a Confederate agent in southern Maryland. It is where JW Booth and his accomplice, David Herold, went after leaving the home of Dr. Samuel Mudd after Lincoln's assassination. Cox secreted the assassins, and waited for an opportunity to get them across the Potomac (and that is another conversation). For years, Rich Hill was on private property, viewable only from afar, and the house was about ready to fall down. Mike Mazzeo seized the opportunity to rescue and restore the house.

Another piece of the Lincoln assassination and the Booth escape has been restored. This is the press release:


The Historical Society of Charles County and the Friends of Rich Hill are excited and proud to announce that Historic Rich Hill is finished!



Rich Hill will be opened beginning the first weekend in April, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 3pm, and every weekend thereafter through the first weekend in December!



IT TOOK A VILLAGE



First and foremost, we could not have finished this project without our phenomenal Steering Committee: Michael J. Mazzeo, Jr., Mary Pat Berry, Ronald G. Brown, Joyce Candland, Carol Donohue, Edward B. Edelen, Jr., Thomas Pike (deceased), Debra Scoggins, Dave Taylor, Cathy Hardy Thompson, Charles County Department of Planning and Growth Management; Esther Doyle Read, Charles County Archaeologist; and Laurie Verge, (deceased) of the Surratt House Museum.

We could not have funded this project without a Bond Bill from the State of Maryland sponsored by Senator Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr., (deceased), the Historical Society of Charles County, Inc., many donations from the Friends of Rich Hill and funding from the following grants: Charles County Heritage Commission, Charles County Tourism, Civil War Roundtable of the District of Columbia, Commissioners of Charles County, the Maryland Historical Trust, the Maryland Humanities, Preservation Maryland, Southern Maryland Heritage Area Consortium, the Society of Colonial Wars in Maryland and the General Society of Colonial Wars.



Grateful appreciation to our partners for their continued support: Advanced Architectural General Contracting, the African American Heritage Society of Charles County, Charles County Antique Arts Association, the Charles County Archaeological Society of Maryland, the Charles County Garden Club, the Charles County Historic Preservation Commission, Charles County Tourism, Commissioners of Charles County, Dr. Samuel Mudd Society, Farm Heritage Conservancy, General Society of Colonial Wars, Lady Jane Sewell Chapter, Colonial Dames of the XVII Century, Maryland Historical Trust, Maryland Veterans Museum at Patriots Park, Port Tobacco Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, Preservation Maryland, Shore United Bank, the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Maryland, Southern Maryland Civil War Roundtable, Southern Maryland Heritage Areas Consortium, the St. Mary’s County Historical Society, the Surratt Society, the Society for the Restoration of Port Tobacco, the Thomas Stone Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution and the Wallace Bowling Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans.



To Jessica Jennings of the Baynet, thank you for the incredible publicity for Rich Hill. Your articles are amazing!



And a very special heartfelt thanks to all those volunteers who worked diligently for four days and more to make Rich Hill ready to open to the public: Kevin Barry, Rick Boggs, Polly Boggs, Debra Bowling, Garth Bowling, Carol Donohue, Ned Edelen, Joe Gleason, Lee Gootee, Denise Grote, Sandy Harrison, Karl Hense, Kim Hense, Jackie Holson, Benjamin Martinez, Mike Mazzeo, Kathy Quimby, Debra Scoggins, Barbara Spears, Dennis Spears, Mary Vance, Brian Wedding, Terri Wedding; Brandon Burton and his team with Charles County Parks & Grounds.





And finally, with grateful appreciation to the person who had the vision of restoring Rich Hill and who initiated the entire project: Dr. Brad Gottfried, then President of the College of Southern Maryland, (now retired). Thank you!

"I have some articles to post to the Forum in a new post. The first one is from the 26 Feb. 1903 edition of the Enid Wave newspaper which reprints a letter sent to the mayor on the 18th of Feb. The letter was sent by an N. H. George asking for information to locate David E. George, not knowing David had died. N. H. doesn't say if he is a relative of David. But I think this could be a possible lead on the identity of David E. George. Using the address from the letter I was able to identify N. H. as Nelson Harley George a nightime railroad yardmaster in Arkansas City, Kansas. Here's his Find A Grave page:

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/7302...ley-george

I checked and David wasn't a brother of Nelson, so if they were familiarly related I can't figure out how, even after looking at online trees of Nelson's family. Nelson paid for one of those biographies of himself printed in 1918, I've attached images of that in case some future person comes along this Forum thread and want to do a little research into Nelson's family tree to find a connection if they can. Coincidentally, Nelson's widow would die in Enid herself in 1945 while visiting their daughter."

I have not been active on this forum for quite some time, but I have continued writing, and my novel about Lewis Powell is now in its final stages. I am a Swedish author and historian enthusiast with a particular interest in American history, and I wish to take a moment to express my profound gratitude to this community. It was here that I established my first contacts in 2018, prior to my research trip to the United States. What began as curiosity has evolved into eight years of rigorous study, travel, and reflection — and now, at last, my novel has soon reached its completion.

I could not have achieved this without the generosity, expertise, and warmth so many of you have extended to me. I especially wish I could thank the late Laurie Verge, whose kindness and dedication opened doors I could never have found on my own, and to Betty Ownsbey, whose work on Powell has provided an indispensable guide throughout this endeavor. She has generously shared her knowledge with me and patiently put up with all my questions.

I plan to return to the United States this coming spring before undertaking the task of introducing my fellow Swedes to the conspirators and the Civil War. Among other sites, I hope to visit President Lincoln’s Tomb to pay my respects.]]>

It's about John Wilkes Booth's random brief stay in Boston in July 1864 and how in the 1980's some researchers came to believe he was meeting with Confederate agents. Dave tracks down some of the other "suspicious" guests and comes down with what looks like a pretty definite conclusion about the earlier researchers' theory. A definite Must Read for people interested in minutiae about Booth, the assassination, and Booth's possible Confederate government connections. As a bonus, it also highlights the benefits of being thorough researching an historical topic.]]>

I am always skeptical about unknown (or largely unknown) photos of Booth or Lincoln. I have seen so many spurious claims. That said, with a quick look (which is all I have had time to give this image having the link just sent to me via email), I think this one has a higher possibility of being legit. Nothing right of the bat told me it's not him.

Apparently, this was once in the collection of Josephine Cobb, formerly of the National Archives. It was she who zoomed in and found Lincoln seated on the platform at Gettysburg.

So friends, what do you think? Is this JWB or not?]]> https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/maill...-25/262835
