- BOOTH, John I (d.1422), of Barton in Eccles, Lancs.
- 2nd s. and h. of Thomas Booth (d.1368) of Eccles by his w. Ellen; bro. of Henry*. m. Joan, da. of Sir Henry Trafford (d.1375) of Trafford, Lancs., at least 6s. 5da.; 1s. illegit.1
- The Booths had long been established members of the Lancashire gentry when Thomas Booth of Barton came to a violent end in 1368. Despite his widow’s attempt to obtain justice, at least one of the murderers secured a royal pardon, while another, the influential Robert Worsley*, remained suspiciously close to his victim’s second son, the subject of this biography, throughout his life. The latter shared with his two brothers bequests of grain and stock from the family estates at Barton and Bradford (Manchester), as well as receiving a personal legacy of £20. We do not know when John succeeded his elder brother, William, but he may already have entered his inheritance by 1380, at which date he and Worsley offered a recognizance for debt to a group of local men. Some two years later he joined with Sir Robert Urswyk*, Sir John Boteler* and Thomas Radcliffe* in making similar pledges to John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster, but the purpose of this undertaking is not recorded. His relations with Gaunt were evidently cordial, for in January 1386 he was about to accompany the duke to Portugal and Spain. Preparations for another foreign venture, this time in the retinue of Sir John Drayton*, the castellan of Guines, were in hand during the summer of 1387, but in the event Booth decided to remain at home, and the royal letters of protection which had been issued to him, pending his departure for Picardy, were cancelled.6 In the following year he obtained the lease of a neighbouring estate in Boysnope from one of his relatives, thus beginning a gradual process of piecemeal expansion which led to the consolidation of his holdings in and around Eccles. The part played by Robert Worsley in his father’s murder seems to have given Booth little, if any, cause for concern. Indeed, in August 1390, he stood surety for Worsley as guardian of one of Gaunt’s wards; and not long afterwards he appeared as a juror at an inquisition on the possessions of one of his friend’s kinsmen. He again performed this function in July 1396, on the death of Henry Trafford, his brother-in-law. The precise date of his marriage to one of Sir Henry Trafford’s daughters remains unknown, but it clearly added considerably to his standing ....

- BOOTH, Henry (d.1446), of Arleston and Sinfin, Derbys.
- 3rd s. of Thomas Booth (d.1368) of Barton in Eccles, Lancs. by his w. Ellen; yr. bro. of John I*. m. (1) Elizabeth, 1s. 1da.; (2) by Mich. 1409, Isabel, da. of John Fynderne the elder of Findern, Derbys. by his w. Katherine.1
- Shortly before his death at the hands of a group of local men, Thomas Booth drew up a will in which he divided all the livestock and provisions on his Lancashire estates between his three sons, as well as leaving each of them £20 in cash. Henry, the youngest, must still have been a mere child, and no more is heard of him until the late 1390s, by which time he had moved to Derbyshire. It was almost certainly through marriage ....
- .... He may even have used his influence with the newly crowned Henry IV to obtain preferment for his elder brother, John, with whom he evidently maintained cordial relations. In about 1405 he offered the latter a bond in £20, perhaps as a result of dealings over the family inheritance.5 There can be little doubt that Booth was a lawyer ....
