Descendants of Robert Booth
Estate papers have not been found for Robert Booth (many times
referred to as Dr. Robert Booth / Bouth) in York Co, VA records. Therefore
the children listed below are those individuals thought to be his descendants by
most contemporary researchers. This researcher would very much like to
obtain primary source records documenting parentage of children thought to be
from the marriage of Robert Booth and Frances (Gibson / Gibeons / Gideon??).
Further information on this family would be greatly appreciated.
