Biography

John Booth was the son and heir of William Booth^[1][2][3] and Elizabeth Ayscough. He was found to be 22 in September 1510,^[4] pointing to a birth date of about 1488. He was probably born in Middle Soykle, part of the parish of Killingholme, Lincolnshire.^[5][6]

John married Anne Thimbelby, daughter of Richard Thimbleby.^[1][3][5][6] They probably married in Lincolnshire where both families lived. Their marriage date is not known and has been guesstimated on the basis that their daughter Mary Elizabeth may have been born in about 1510. They had the following children:

• John^{[1][2][3][5][6]}
• Thomas^[1][2][5][6]
• William^[1][2][5][6]
• another Thomas^[1][5][6] (The Harleian Society edition of Mundy's Middlesex pedigrees names only one son called Thomas,^[2] as does Maddison's Lincolnshire Pedigrees^[3])
• Eustace^[1][2][5][6]
• Mary Elizabeth (called just Elizabeth by Douglas Richardson^[5][6] but her husband's records of the births and baptisms of their children call her Mary Elizabeth^[7]), who married Edward Hamby^[5][6][4][8] (called Eleanor in a Visitation pedigree^[1] and the Harleian Society edition of Mundy's Lincolnshire pedigrees^[2])
• Anne, who married William Wyatt^[1][2][5][6]

John's Inquisition Post Mortem found him to be holding 500 acres of land and other property in the Killingholme area of Lincoionsghire.^[4]

John died (probably in Lincolnshire where he lived) before 22 or 23 May 1537,^[5][6] when an Inquisition Post Mortem was held. The IPM indicates that his wife Anne was then living.^[4] .

Research Notes

Mother

George Marshall's edition of the 1562-4 Lincolnshire Visitation calls his mother Margaret.^[1] So does the Harleian Society edition of Mundy's Middlesex pedigrees.^[2] Maddison's Lincolnshire Pedigrees calls her "Margaret (? Elizabeth)".^[3]

John Booth appears in a project-approved/badged trail (re-reviewed in April-May 2023) between Gateway Ancestor Katherine Hamby and Magna Carta Surety Barons Hugh le Bigod and Roger le Bigod. This profile is also listed in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Katherine Hamby to surety baron Saher de Quincy (vol. II, pages 329-331) that was badged by the Project in October 2022. Both trails are outlined in the Magna Carta Trails section of Robert Hamby's profile.

See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
