Tom McCabe's Genealogy 2025

It is unlikely that James Booth of Drumgowan had more than one wife. No marriage records have been found to date. According to the Leslie Parish records, James of Drumgowan and his wife Isabel had a daughter Isabel in 1792 but the same James of Drumgowan and his wife 'Margaret' had a child named William in 1794. However the death record of young William Booth 85 years later in Forbes confirms that his mother's name was Isabel Booth.
