21. John Booker - prior to 1870 - Yalobusha County [0.986918]
John was killed prior to 1870. There are no Wilson Otis in my records. Grenada County came from Yalobusha County in 1870. No Henry Booker either. John's younger brother, Thomas, was my grandmother's father. Two of his brothers were prominent ministers. A younger one, Robert Randolph Booker, was one of the founding elders of the Church of God in Christ. Does ANY of this help?????

I just started doing some research on a friends family. His great-Uncle(I think)was Wilson Otis Booker. I know Yalobusha County is close to Tallahatchie County, which is where he told me to start my research. I am curious if John is a relative of his. I think his grandfather was Henry Booker. Any information would be helpful. Thank you. Marsha in Minnesota On Jan 30, 2006, at 11:29 PM, Edda R.
