Ogarita Booth Henderson

Ogarita Booth Henderson was an American stage actress. Henderson maintained that she was the daughter of actor John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln in April 1865.

Henderson was the daughter of Martha Lizola Mills . Ogaritas birth certificate lists Marthas husband, the mariner Charles Still Bellows, as her father. Martha would later claim it was Lincolns assassin, the actor John Wilkes Booth, who was actually Ogaritas father. Throughout her life, Ogarita believed that Booth was her father. However, Booth had been performing in Richmond, Virginia in January 1859 making it unlikely that he could have been the father of a child born in Rhode Island. As for Bellows, muster rolls show that he was on board a Navy ship near Montevideo during that time period, making it impossible for him to have been the father of Ogarita.
