"Richard1 Booth, … married Elizabeth Hawley. … All the Booth children are recorded in Stratford, beginning with 1641, but the earlier children are entered together in a group, and since the entry of births does not seem to have started until 1649, the recording of the earlier Booth children in Stratford does not absolutely prove that they were all born in that town. However, it is our opinion that the Booth family came to Stratford by 1641 or shortly thereafter."
