Benjamin Booth (1732–1806) was an English director of the East India Company and art collector.
They had a son Richard Salwey Booth, who matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford in 1781 and became a clergyman, and three daughters.
[2][4][5] The son was an amateur artist, painting watercolours in Wales and Scotland, and an acquaintance of Paul Sandby who showed at the Royal Academy.
[6] He is identified by William Prideaux Courtney as a companion in 1797 of Lord Webb John Seymour and Christopher Smyth; and as in the Algernon Graves Royal Academy records from 1796 to 1807.
[2] The large collection of works by Richard Wilson put together by Booth was still in the Ford family in the 20th century.
