Benjamin Booz was born abt 1792 in Portsmouth England and came to the Baltimore County area by 1819. He was married to Ann Maria Jenkins in 1826. Their family was well known in the shipbuilding business till at least 1913. His son E.G. Booz was a distiller in Philadelphia in the 1870's. Another son Charles W. Booz was owner of the Booz Brothers shipyard. I have photos of these early family members on both sides.
