Anyone know anything about my great-great-great grandfather McDonald BOOTH? He was born 1837 in Ware Co.(possibly the part that is now Clinch). I have a hunch that he may have been illegitimate with a Booth mother and a McDonald father. I've exhausted the resources I have (census', Huxford's PWG and others) concerning the Booths/McDonalds of south Georgia and have come up with nothing as to his parentage. Below is a sketch I've prepared for Huxford's PWG vol. 11 which details what I know of McDonald and family.
Thanks,
Greg Wainright
