I had it as Booker also. This was from one of the Carmack Cousin's
newsletters. Maybe someone else on the list would know.

WILLIAM RICE BOOHER, M. D.
page 871
William Rice Booher, a physician of Bristol, was born in Sullivan county,
about six miles southeast of the city in which he now makes his home, in
the
year 1866, his parents being Jesse and Elizabeth (Carmack) Booher.
The
family has been identified with the history of Sullivan county since
pioneer
days. The ancestral line is traced back to Martin Booher, who was of
Dutch
ancestry and came from Pennsylvania to Tennessee. He was the father of
Peter
Booher, who served in the war of 1812 and who married Magdalene
Beeler.
They
established their home about six miles southeast of Bristol and it was
upon
that farm that the birth of Jesse Booher occurred. He and one of his
brothers were soldiers of the Confederate army during the conflict between
the north and south. Jesse Booher wedded Elizabeth Carmack, who was a
daughter of Cornelius Carmack, of Washington county, Virginia, and of
Martha
(Susong) Carmack. Captain Jacob Carmack, an uncle of Dr. Booher,
served
with
the Confederate forces in the Civil war and Alex., Lum and James
Carmack,
brothers of Jacob, were also among the soldiers who wore the gray. One of
these, James, was killed in the battle of Petersburg. In the family of
Jesse
and Elizabeth (Carmack) Booher there were six children: William Rice,
Cornelius P., Joseph A., Martha M., Sarah Harriet and Jessie Eleanor.
