    Richard1 Booth, born in England, about 1607-8, died at Stratford, Conn., after 1688; married Elizabeth Hawley.

    Three statements or theories relating to Richard Booth have found wide acceptance, simply because they have been long in print. These are that Richard was from Cheshire, England; that he was brother of Robert Booth of Maine and of John Booth of Southold, Long Island; and that he was probably married twice. No actual evidence has been seen to support any of these statements, and some of them are probably incorrect.

    It was somewhat natural, in the early days of genealogical study, to try to connect Richard Booth with the well-known family of that name in Cheshire, but his origin is as much a matter of speculation today as it ever was.

    Booth, Richard. The Booth chart compiled by George Munson Booth of Chicago, Ill., states that Richard was bapt. at Great Budworth, co. Cheshire, Eng., Aug. 1608, a son of Edward (d. 1628), who was a son of William of Twemlow, co. Cheshire (by his wife Ellen, dau. of John Davenport of Davenport), who was a son of Edward of Twenlow, who was a son of Sir William Booth of Dunham Massie, co. Cheshire (d. 1519). The earlier generations of this pedigree are authentic, but I know not the authority for the connection of this line with Richard of Stratford.

    He was one of the founders of Stratford, and in Mar. 1687/8 gave his age in an affidavit as abt. 81. From the terms of the will of his son Ephraim, it is likely that his wife Elizabeth was sister of Mr. Joseph Hawley.
