Did John Wilkes Booth have a wife or kids?
John Wilkes Booth married Izola Mills on February 9, 1859 in a fit of passion. The marriage was not legal because Izola was married at the time to Charles Bellows. Yes, Izola was married to two people at the same time. Those that say he was not legally married are correct. John and Izola lived together, created a home and had children. Theirs was a marriage of choice. Izola was a perfect wife for John, she allowed him to see other women. John received love letters from many women that Izola knew about, Izola put them out of her mind because she did not want to lose him. After John Wilkes Booth was killed in the Garrett barn, John Stevenson proposed marriage to her. She told Stevenson that John Wilkes Booth was alive and well in San Francisco and she was still in love with him and wanted to go to San Francisco to be with him.
