  General Notes:

“Maryland Militia in the Revolutionary War” p. 106: ‘Frederick
County’ [7 Mar 1776] Capt. Henry Boteler; Lt. Thomas Odle, etc.;
rank & file, Adam Boot (Henry Ault, Wm. Ault, John Ault, etc.);
p. 237: ‘Washington County’ [1 Jul 1777/5 Oct 1778] List of
Officers and Men in Capt. Henry Botelers Company: (4th class)
George Boot, Adam Boot (‘6th Class’ Henry Ault, Lieut. Thomas
Odel, inter al. familiar surnames); VA 1784 census: Geo. has
family; b. d. & p. surmised < oldest siblings; 1787 owner of
land adjacent to his father’s in Hardy Co., VA; 1789, owns 32
acres; E. L. Judy: “Geo. Boots heads family of 4” 1790 VA
census; mentioned in his father’s 1803 will, with unspecified
children — it is possible, even likely that other children than
these surmised from indirect evidence, were born to George Boots
and his unknown wife — note especially, that while Greene Co.,
OH records show Samuel Peterson married ‘Hannah Heaton’ 4 May
1821 (also C. S. Boots gives 22 Feb 1821), another source,
“History of Greene Co., OH (Robinson) p. 276: ‘Joseph Boots,
Xenia 1839; brother-in-law of Samuel Peterson’ which implies
that Hannah is a Boots; 32 acreas (noted above) sold in 1833
(presuming death) by Adam Stiffle [Boots, Jr.] to George
Londerman [unsigned paper, “Boots or Stieffel Land Transfers,
Hardy Co., VA”]; death prior to 1803 presumed because father’s
will speaks of his ‘children’ (unspecified) and not him
