Biography

Dorothy Barclay was born on 27 Aug 1901 in Kiskiminetas Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, USA to George Barclay and Janette (Wilson) Barclay.

In 1910 Dorothy Barkley (age 8) lived in Kiskiminetas with her father George (38, Engineer Stationary Engine), mother Jeanette (32), and four brothers: George (10), Lewis (6), Robert (4), and Boyde (2).^[1]

In 1920 Dorthy Barcley (age 18) lived in Second District, McNairy County, Tennessee with her mother Janetta (40, Farmer General Farm) and seven brothers: George (21, Farmer at Home), Lawis (16), Robert (14), Boyd (12), Walace (10), Gilbert (8), and Walter (6).^[2] It is uncertain where her father was at this time.

Dorothy Barcly (age 24, daughter of George Barcly, born Scotland, and Jennet Barcly, American) and Walter E Booth (age 28, son of E?? Booth & Lottie Booth, both born in Delaware) were married on 9 Nov 1929 in Hartley, Kent County, Delaware - the witnesses were Lena Scotton & Mary E Dodd.^[3]

Dorothy and Walter had at least six children:

1. Betty May Booth (1930-1932)

3. Russell Booth (c1935-)
4. Henry John Booth (c1937-)
5. Walter Booth (c1939-)
6. Phyllis Ann Booth (c1940-)

Another son is listed on the 1940 census, but he was born before they married - was he adopted? Was he born out of wedlock? Was he actually their nephew rather than a son? Where was he on the 1930 census?:

1. Lauder Booth (1926-2000)
