Here's some gap-fillers:
Dr. Joseph A. Booth married his second cousin Cora Elizabeth Mitchell, the daughter of Colonel Robert G. Mitchell; she was his second wife but no one knows the name of his first wife. Dr. Booth died in New York City Feb. 26, 1902, eighteen days after his sixty-second birthday.
Edwina Booth Grossmann died in New York City on Christmas Day 1938; daughter Mildred married but I have forgotten her married name; her brother Edwin B. Grossmann lived as late as 1960; Eleanor Ruggles in her 1953 biography of the senior Edwin Booth cites Mr. Grossmann as a source. Mildred has descendants living; I am not sure of Edwin.
Junius Brutus Booth, Jr., by his last wife Agnes, had two other sons, Barton A. and Algernon, both of whom died in infancy
That should do it--thanks for a detailed genealogical chart.
