Gabriel Booth was the son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth J. Johns Booth. (We believe his father, Nathaniel was a Revolutionary War Soldier in Virginia and the reason he came to Elbert County, Georgia was that he received Bounty Land. Elbert County has many Revolutionary Soldiers and many that came from Virginia. I am still looking for proof on this.)

Gabriel Booth was born about 1779 and died before November 1844.

On July 26, 1806, Gabriel Booth married Elizabeth "Betsy" Stinchcomb in Elbert County, GA. They were married by A. Stinchcomb, J.I.C (Elbert County Marriage Book L-F, p. 28).

Gabriel was a veteran of the War of 1812 and he participated in the Gold Lottery of 1832.
