Data from Jacobus, p72--children recorded in Huntington CT Town Records

No evidence that Lewis and Jerush Hurd Booth are parents of Mead Booth. Dates & location from World Connect on-line undocumented

Again I don't know that Eli and Mead are brothers but they are around the same age, both from New Milford, CT and both move to Portage Co, OH ca 1840s. Another brother or cousin is probably Gerardus also in New Milford and possibly who Garry Booth is named for.
