The elusive Booths of Burrillville

Sinopse

John Wilkes Booth (1838-1865) was the illegitimate son of the great English actor, Junius Brutus Booth, and Mary Ann Holmes. Junius and Mary Ann came to America in 1821 and settled in Maryland. They were the parents of ten children and were eventually married in 1851. Junius died in 1852. John Wilkes and several of his brothers were also stage actors. John is supposed to have married Izola Martha Mills in 1858-1859. They were the parents of Ogarita Rosalie Booth Hills Henderson (1859-1892). Descendants still live in the Burrillville, Rhode Island area where the Mills family came from.
