There is no evidence to suggest there was any close or distant family connection between William Booth and John Wilkes Booth. The founder of the Salvation Army was born on 10 April 1829 in Sneinton, Nottingham, England. The assassin of President Lincoln was born in 1839 in America.
Booth's parents, the noted British Shakespearean actor Junius Brutus Booth and his mistress Mary Ann Holmes, came to the United States from England in June 1821.

Edwin Booth was the best known American actor of his day, and as was true in at least some divided families, he supported Lincoln and the Union. His brother Junius was also an American actor. Much of what is known about the Booth family can be credited to his sister Asia F. Booth Clarke who was a notable poet and author.

I don't think they knew one another. But Lincoln was a great admirer of the Booths, who were famous actors. John Wilkes Booth's father and two older brothers were much better known, though Wilkes Booth was developing his talent and had a growing following.
