Directions to Cemetery / Gravesite:
Comment: I, Bryan S. Godfrey, last visited this cemetery on 9 April 2011. I am unsure how accurate my plotting of the cemetery is on the map, for I do not remember where the cemetery is in relation to Oldfield Road or Dovetail Road. Those who visit are asked to record the address of the house next door so the directions and map can be plotted more accurately. However, it is easy to find, for it is marked Booth Cemetery, enclosed by a stone wall, and located next to Route 666 and a house

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
