Among the early settlers of Taylor County were Booths. Four Booths who were sons of William Booth came from Cheshire, England, to America in 1639. One of these brothers was Richard who mariied Elizabeth Hawley. He was one of the original settlers of Stratford, Connecticut, but he later settled in North Carolina. One of their sons was Daniel Booth who married Priscilla (last name unknown) and died in Orange County, Norht Carolina. His wll mentions all his children, but Tapley is the son whom we later find in Crawford and Talbot Counties. Daniel Booth was a Revolutionary soldier in the militia of Virginia and North Carolina, and his military record is recorded in the Hillborough District, Report 83, July 1783, Book C, Page 94.
Tapley married Nancy Price first, and after her death he married Rachel Davis. Lemuel BUrton Booth was son of the first marriage, and we find him in Taylor County when the county was organized. He was born circa 1820, and his first marriage was to Susan B. Gardner. After her death he married Sarah Matilda Hays Johnson. Lemuel Burton Booth was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Buena Vista, Ga. in 1857. He was a Confederate soldier in Co. F, 28th Battalion, Georgia Seige Artillery and he died in Taylor County on December 28, 1863. He was buried in the garden of the old Hays home in Taylor county.
The house is located at the intersection of highways 19 and 208. In the late 1800's a Confederate marker was placed on the grave. The Hays home was later purchased by J. W. Gholson, and today is owned by his descendatnts. One of these descendants is Mrs. Bernard Fuller who lives in Taylor County today. Her one dauther is Bunny Fuller.
Delilah, another daughter of Tapley Booth and Nancy Price, married Alexander Goolsby. A descendant of this marriage is Mrs. Essie L. Childs who lives in Taylor County today. SHe has served in the capacity of Ordinary, later Judge of Probate Court for a quarter of a century.
Lemuel Burton Booth and his wife Sarah M. Hays Johnson had four children among whom was George Salem who married Mary Anna Pope. To this union were born seven children: James R. who married Willie Amos, Lonnie Brittian who married Edna Gholson, William Pope who married Ida M. Perkins, George Marvin who married Annie Laura Gassett, Harvey Hill who married Sara Letcher Neisler, Herbert Booth who married Sally Jane Mitchell, Leila Bell who married Jonathan Morgan McCants.
Many descendants of the Booth family can be found in Taylor County today. Some are scattered throughout the United States and they have contributed greatly to the religious, educational, civi, economic and social building of our nation. In checking over records I find that they have served their country in every war we have been involved in since Daniel Booth, our patriot, served in the Revolutionary War.

Military Servic:
HISTORICAL NOTES:


This unit appears to have been called by various names including the 28th Heavy Artillery Regiment, The 28th Siege Artillery Battalion, Capt. Campbell's Siege Artillery, and the 1st Artillery Battalion

During the Olustee Campaign the Twenty-eighth Battalion, Georgia served as infantry under the command of Major A. Bonaud. A detachment from the Florida Camp of Instruction, the Florida Conscript Company, was attached to the battalion at Olustee, and there is a slight possibility that part of the Second Florida Battalion was as well.

The battalion had been formed at Savannah in 1863 by uniting a number of independent heavy artillery companies. Olustee was the first major engagement for the unit. Comparatively small in numbers, the unit suffered over 100 casualties: 12 killed, 95 wounded, and two missing. The Florida Conscript Company suffered losses of six killed or died of wounds, and nine wounded. It is unclear if these loses were included in the totals for Bonaud's Battalion.

Two companies of this battalion served with the Army of Northern Virginia, with the rest of the battalion remaining in the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.

(Olustee Battlefield State Historic Site is located on U.S. 90, 15 miles east of Lake City, Florida.
If you are on I-10, take Exit #45 to U.S. 90, then west 5 miles.)

Some of the information on this site was taken from three booklets developed by the Olustee Battlefield Citizen Support Organization : David J. Coles is the principal author for The Battle of Olustee and the Olustee Battlefield Site: a Brief History and Men and Arms: Sketches of the Commanders and Units of the Olustee Campaign. Russell A. Alexander and David J. Coles also edited and compiled The Confederate Roll of Honor: Southern Casualties at the Battle of Olustee.
