John Wilkes Booth married Izola when
he was twenty-one.
Izola Mills D'Arcy
Izola was an orphan and adopted at
twelve by Fanny D'Arcy. Izola's stepbrother got her pregnant when she was
fifteen. After Izola got pregnant, her stepbrother showed no interest in her.
Sixteen-year-old Izola married
Charles Bellows to give her baby a father. Charles was a seaman and could be at
sea for a year or more. He was never at home. It turned out to be a terrible
marriage. Izola fell out of love with Charles.
When Izola's father was alive; he was
married to two women simultaneously. When Izola grew up, she believed the
government shouldn't get involved in the affairs between men and women. She
defined marriage as an agreement between a man and a woman, and the government
had no say in it.
Izola also believed that the state
had no say in a divorce. It was a mutual agreement between a man and a woman to
separate permanently. Izola removed herself from Charles, but there was no
mutual agreement. As far as Charles was concerned, they were still married.
On February 8, 1859, Izola and John attended
the same dance. There was an immediate attraction, and they married the next
night. After a very short honeymoon, John returned to his theatrical
engagement. Again, Izola found herself alone. This time, there was a
difference. She was madly in love with John.
About nine months later, Izola and John had a
baby. It was a girl. John wanted to be known as an eligible bachelor and told
no one about his marriage or child. John named her Ogarita Bellows to keep the
public uninformed.
Even though Izola was married to two men
simultaneously, John's unfaithfulness tore her heart apart. Izola was living at
Booth's farm near Harper's Ferry. It was a good fifty miles from Washington.
While John was in Washington, he would see other ladies. Izola knew John was
seeing other women, and she could do nothing about it. Izola wished with all her
heart that John would come to understand that no one would ever love him as
much as she.
Kate Scott
After the war started, Kate became a
nurse for the Union Army. At an army ball, she met John Wilkes Booth. They
began seeing each other. While she was a nurse, Kate was approached
continuously for illicit contact. She became discouraged, left the Army's nurse
corps, and moved back in with her father in Brookville, Pennsylvania.
Occasionally, when Booth passed through Brookville, he would stop and see Kate.
On February 6, 1865, Booth passed
through Brookville and stopped to spend the night at Scott's home. When Booth
left the house the next day, Kate ran off with him. They went to New York and
then to Washington. Kate said, "How naïve I was. I did not know then that
Booth was married, or I should not have gone out with him. It was not generally
known at the time he had a wife and daughter."
In early March 1865, Booth impregnated Kate.
Before Kate knew she was pregnant, her father demanded that she return home.
Kate did return home and soon discovered that she was pregnant. Their
relationship lasted until March 15, 1865, one month before Lincoln's
assassination. On December 8, 1865, Kate gave birth to John Wilkes Booth's
daughter, Sarah Scott.
Lucy Hale
When Booth was seeing Kate,
occasionally, he would see Lucy Hale. Lucy's father was a senator. Booth used
Lucy to get information on Lincoln's whereabouts. Booth and Lucy never had a
serious relationship.
Ella Turner
Ella was an actress in Washington. From the
middle of March to mid-April, they dated. When Ella learned that Booth Killed
Lincoln, Ella tried to kill herself. Her limp body was discovered just in time
to save her life. Unknown to her, she was pregnant with Booth's baby. Ella gave
birth to Mary Louise Turner about nine months later.
Louisa J. Payne
A hundred years after Lincoln's assassination,
a wedding certificate between Louisa J. Payne and John W. Booth was found in a
Sewanee, Tennessee, courthouse. The marriage occurred on February 24, 1872. For
those who believe Booth died at the Garrett farm, this is evidence that Booth
lived. Six months after their marriage, Louisa gave birth to John Wilkes
Booth's baby, Laura Ida Booth.
