"Some Descendants of Capt. Richard Booker, (ca. 1652 - post 1704) and His Second Wife Hannah (Hand) Marshall" by Margaret M. Marty:
Richard came to Virginia from England and prior to 1680 when his appointment as Military Captain of Gloucester County in the Colony of Virginia is of record. It is presumed that his father was Edward Booker, a Merchant Trader with offices in London, England; Brielle, Holland; and York County, Virginia; Thus it is possible that Richard came to Virginia because of an interest in his father's tobacco trade. He married first to the daughter of a York County attorney and began patenting large tracts of land, principally in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester County, Virginia, where he made his home. He was appointed Justice of the Court there in 1698.

"Genealogies of Virginia Families from The Virginia Magazine of history and Biography":
Know all men by these presents, that I, Richard Booker, by virtue of a letter of attorney from Samuel Edwards have constituted and appointed my father in Law, Mr. John Leake, to be my lawfull attorney (etc. & etc.) this 20th day of February, 1672/3.

"Twelve Virginia Counties" by John H. Gwathmey
Richard held a commission as Captain in the Buckingham Militia and one of the Military Officers of Gloucester County in 1680.

Richard was Justice of the Court of Gloucester County in 1698 and a member of the Quorum. Richard was appointed by his Excellency, the Governor of the Colony, as Military Captain of Gloucester County in 1699. The Quit Rent Rolls of 1704-5 shows Richard as owning 526 acres in Elizabeth City County, 1,000 acres in Gloucester County, and 200 acres in York County (this land was deeded to Richard Booker by Mr. John Underhill and his wife, Mary, on September 20, 1692, per York Records, p.170). Richard also received a grant of 250 acres near the head of Port Tobacco creek in Rappahannock County, Virginia (this land is recorded as being conveyed to Richard Booker on July 20, 1692, by David Coghills, of Rappahannock County, in "Genealogies of Virginia Families from The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography.

In July 1685, Captain Richard Booker received a grant of 740 acres in Gloucester County; on April 20, 1694, a grant of 180 acres in Gloucester; and on October 20, 1704, a grant of 613 acres in Essex County.

In another column of the York Records, Richard Booker is alluded to as being of "ye parish of Abingdon, in ye County of Gloucester," and "on the upper side of Fellgate's Creek". Richard and Samuel Cobbs built a church for the remote inhabitants of Bristol Parish in 1730. They built the church near the Samuel Cobbs' place on Flat Creek and retained the privilege of putting up a pew for their families. (Meade's Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Virginia, p.440.) Richard married twice. His first wife was Rebecca Leake and his second was Hannah Hand Marshall.

Rebecca was the daughter of an early colonist and attorney, John Leake, of York County, Virginia and his wife Rebecca. Richard and Rebecca had seven children. They were: Edmund, Judith, Edward, Ann, John, Rebecca and Richard (who married Margaret Lowry, half sister of Hannah Hand, his father's second wife). This is referenced in "Some Tidewater Virginia Families", 1900; Genealogies of Virginia Families from William and Mary College Quarterly, Baltimore, 1982, Vol. IV, p.222 and W. G. Stanard, "The Booker Family". Rebecca apparently died prior to 1694 when Richard's marriage to his second wife is of record in Gloucester County.
