The  Booth  Coat  of  Arms. 

Upon  the  opposite  page,  appears  a  fac-similc  of  the  coat  of 
arms  or  ensign  armorist  of  the  Ancient  Booth  Family,  borne  by 
the  family  for  upwards  of  seven  hundred  years-  The  Lion,  de- 
noting loyalty,  and  the  Wild  Boar's  Head,  denoting  bravery,  are 
the  oldest  crests  known  in  England.  They  show  the  antiquity  of 
the  family  adopting  them,  also  its  dignity,  rank  and  near  relation- 
ship to  the  reigning  sovereign,  as  well  as  the  family's  reputation 
for  undaunted  courage.  The  shield  is  a  modification  of  the 
Norman  shield,  denoting  the  intermingling  of  the  noble  Norman 
blood  with  the  native  Briton  by  intermarriage  of  races.  The 
device  as  shown,  is  copied  from  that  preserved  in  the  Booth 
Family  by  Lady  Mary,  Countess  Dowager  of  Stamford,  only 
daughter  of  Sir  George  Booth,  third  Lord  Delamere  and  second 
Earl  of  Harrington,  in  whose  posession  the  principal  documents 
relating  to  the  early  history  of  the  Booth  Family  ^were  in  1771. 
The  family  motto  "Quod  Ero  Spero,"  literally  translated  means. 
"What  I  shall  be  I  h<  pe,"  liberally  rendered  it  signifies.  "What 
I  hope  to  accomplish  I  shall  accomplish,"  or  in  other  words. 
"Hope,  Perseverance,  Success."  This  motto  typifies  the  char- 
acter that  marks  the  race.  Illustrious  examples  of  which  have 
developed  all  along  the  line  to  the  present  day. 

Walter    S.  Booth. 


In  this  genealogy  it  has  been  our  design  to  follow  the  di- 
rect line  of  desent  only,  (except  in  the  last  five  generrtions  which 
are  very  nearly  complete  to  date,)   and  no  effort  has  been    made 

to  search  for  data  on  collateral  lines.  Possibly  mistakes  have 
been  made  in  dates,  for  records  could  not  be  found  in  all  in- 
stances, but  of  the  correctness  of  the  line  from  Robert  Booth  of 
Exeter,  N.  H.  and  Saco,  Me.,    we  are  confident. 


The  Booth  Genealogy.
