Notes:

"Of Northampton" at her marriage to Booth. Henry R. Stiles, History & Genealogies of Ancient Windsor, CT, Vol. II, (Hartford, CT, 1892), p. 234 cites a death date of 26 Jan. 1727 at Hartford for Elizabeth and Jacobus repeats this in "The Genealogy of the Booth Family. However, Gale Ion Harris, PhD., "Daniel Garrett & His Family of Hartford, CT, TAG, Vol. 71," April, 1996: p. 99 disputes this date as appropriate for Elizabeth (Garrett) (Elmer) Booth, as the record indicates that the death was of "Sam. Elmore's wife."
