5. ↑ This is interesting because
   1. it shows the Booth family still had relations, even if indirectly, with the Ogles. ... John Ogle, who married Margaret Booth, is probably one of the oldest examples of the alliance.
   2. Through Francis Wortley's second wife Hester Smithes, the Booths may have been acquainted w/ the Eyres of Wiltshire and London, and poss. the latter's allied families of John Still, bishop of Bath & Wells. The Eyres of Wilts. did have a documented family member who settled in Colonial America: Catherine Eyre, wife of Harvard College pres., Charles Chauncey. ... And since John Booth was the son of Oliver Booth of co. Derby ... it begs the question as to whether or not the Eyres of Wilts knew members of the Eyres of Derby, and if they did ... if it was around this time period when they start to interact. (Esp. since it's long been conjectured that the Eyres of Bromham, co. Wilts. are somehow related to the Eyres of Hope, co. Derby).
