He was a son of Richard Booker and Rebecca Leake.
===
In 1687 Richard acquired 140 acres of land in Gloucester County, Virginia. Five years later in 1692 he bought 250 acres in Rappahannock County, and in 1694 another 180 acres in Gloucester County. By 1680 he was a Captain in the Gloucester County Militia whose work in those years was primarily protection of the settlements from neighboring Indians. In about 1694 Richard's wife Rebecca died not long after the birth of their youngest son Edmund. Rebecca was forty two.
===
Edmund lived in Essex County before moving to Amelia County. He evidently lived briefly in Henrico County for two patents for land on Saylers Creek in what was then Prince George County aggregating 741 acres placed him there 23 March 1733/4. In June 1736 Edmund Booker bought 400 acres on Knibbs Creek in Amelia County from his brother Edward. In the 1737 list of tithables, they charged him with five including himself and his son Edmund Booker.
In September 1742/3 Edmund Sr. deeded 200 acres on Knibbs Creek to this son for £10, and in his Will devised the remainder to his son Edward.
Edmund Booker briefly was a member of the House of Burgesses, dying soon after the first session began (1758). Edmund died in Raleigh Parish of Amelia County 22 June 1758.
In his Will he called his wife Jane who may have been Jane Stokes (will dated 10 Nov. 1757, recorded 28 Sept. 1758).
