Francis Boon, b. Upton, MA in about 1850, applied for a pension in about 1828 when he was living in Collins, NY. He claimed to have served three separate periods while living in Upton. Two of them were picket duty around Boston, and one, as I recall, was in NY. Unfortunately, he was unable to prove enough of the service to qualify for the pension, and died in 1832. He had at least 12 children that I know of, maybe more, throughout Worcester County, MA, Vermont, and across NY state until he settled finally in the Buffalo area. I don't know fir sure if he is my ancestor, although I certainly suspect it. Most of his descendants moved on to Wisconsin, Illinois, Ontario Canada, and points west.

I would appreciate any information on my Great-Great Grandmother, Phebe Boone Young, who married Patrick Young around 1812 in Abington, VA. Her daughter, Nancy V. Young, was born in Abington on July 15, 1820, married James Young Campbell Curry on May 16, 1844 and died in Charleston, TN on August 25, 1888. Charles Bachman Moore P. O. Box 1333 Socorro, NM 87801

He married Emily G. ? who was born in Alabama. Does anyone know either of their parents? In 1880 they were in Garland, Hempstead, Arkansas. Thanks! Sharon

Aloha! This is from our family book "The Boone Families 1605-1975". Mary Boone a dau of George Boone and Mary Margridge. I have very little on the children of Mary and John Webb, would love to complete my dates and locations. "...Mary, born Oct. 4, 1699, died Jan. 16, 1774. Married September 24, 1720, to John Webb. He died Oct. 18, 1774." "...George Boone became prominently identified with the Gwynned Monthly Meeting, by which he was appointed in 1723 to keep the church records of the births, marriages and deaths. In 1725 a monthly meeting was established for the Quakers in Olney, and on Dec. 24, 1736, George Boone and wife granted to a board of trustees (Anthony Lee, John Webb, George Boone, Jr., their son and sons-in-law) one acre of ground in trust for the use of the people called Quakers in Olney. This was the origin of what is now known as the Exeter Monthly Meeting where seven generations of the Boone family have worshiped." Mahalo! S.

Hi List - In response to the Lists Roll Call: This is what I have on the Revolutionary War service of George WEBB (b. 1723 PA - d. 1812 TN), the son of John WEBB & Mary BOONE (dau of George III). It is also said that five of his sons served as well. I have some information on David, Jonathan, George & Benjamin WEBBs service, all were sons of the above George WEBB and grandsons of Mary BOONE WEBB. For George WEBB Sr (b. 1723) THE KING'S MOUNTAIN MEN; by Katherine K White; pub 1924 VA - repr 1996 MD; pg. 232 "WEBB. George was a man of affairs on Watauga [TN]. In 1778 he sold 540 acres and then bought 640, proving each transaction by the oath of David WEBB. He was on the grand jury in the examination of the Tory Dykes. WEBB was the first settler in Greasy Cove, a company of Indians following him to his cabin and threatening to kill him if he remained there. He gathered up some more settlers and was not molested. George or David, probably the former, was the Captain WEBB of Shelby's regiment." THE WEBB FAMILY NEWS; edited & pub by Donald E WEBB of Dayton, OH; FALL - WINTER 1969-70; pg 7 - 9 "George WEBB had five sons, who were: David, John, Jonathan, Benjamin and George Jr. All five served in the Revolutionary War, three becoming captains. Capt. John and Capt. Jonathan were in the famed Flying Camp Regiment of Berks county, serving under Col. HOLLER. According to Peter KAUPs pension declaration who said that he served under Captains John and Jonathan WEBB, they "marched to Amboy, from thence to New York, to Long Island, to King's Bridge, White Plains, and was at the battle of Long Island and White Plains." David was also a captain while serving in Berks county. Benjamin was also in service in Berks county and George Jr. entered the service after moving to Tennessee." "In 1777 George WEBB migrated to East Tennessee with all his sons. Daniel BOONE, a first cousin of George WEBB, had spent some time in the Watauga Valley a few years before, and perhaps this was the cause of George's migration to that particular area. George spent some time on the Watauga buying and selling land before he finally settled near Bluff City (called Shoat's Ford in pioneer times) on the South Holston river in what is now Sullivan county." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REV. WAR PENSION APPLICATION: for Benjamin WEBB of NC & PA b. in Berks Co, PA; application # S3487 (at FHL, Salt Lake City, UT - film # 972514) mentions brother Capt David WEBB & George WEBB. Benjamin WEBB was 79 yrs old in 1834. "State of Tennessee, Sullivan county: On this 24th day of Jan 1834 personally appear before me William ROCKHOLD a justice of the peace for said county Benj WEBB aged 79 years or there abouts resident of the state and county aforesaid who being sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following statement and declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of congress paper June 7th 1832. That he was drafted from Berks County Pennsylvania in the year 1771 in the fall of the year and did serve for three months tour under Capt David WEBB in Col WEBBs Regiment and marched through Philadelphia to Morristown for the State of Jersy to Gen. WASHINGTONs head quarters and did serve said three months and he thinks was verbally discharged by his Brother Capt. D. WEBB." Questions asked by William ROCKHOLD "at house of Benj WEBBs he being a cripple a unable to leave home and attend court..." "......served under his brother Capt Jonothon WEBB, Col CRISTIES Regiment" ".... b. in Berks county Pensylvania in the year 1755" "the record of my age is in the possession of my Brother George..." ".. ...I lived in Berks county Pensylvania when first call into service the balance of the service rendered I lived in Sullivan county where lived there ever since the revolution." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REV WAR PENSION APPLICATION: for George WEBB of NC; #W6445 (at FHL, Salt Lake City, UT - film # 972514) Names wife, Elizabeth SPURGEON & marr date George WEBB was 76 yrs old in 1834 - birth yr would be 1758. In pension papers for George WEBB: asked when & where he was born "in Berks county Pennsylvania in 1758". In wifes statement for widows pension "the date of his death was the 11th of February 1836" asked where were you living when called into service and where have you lived since the revolution, "I lived in Sullivan county when call into service ______ the spot of ground where I now live and have lived at the same place ever since the revolutionary War." (source 2) CONFLICTS: In pension application (many pages) the date of marr is listed as 16th, 18th & 19th OCT 1796. Elizabeths maiden name is given many times as SPURGEON or SPURGIN but it also list her as PERKINS on one marriage bond affidavit? I believe her name was SPURGEON. - GFM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hope the above might be of interest to others. My husband is a descendant of Capt. David WEBB (son of George, son of Mary BOONE WEBB). Happy 4th of July!

Hi Does anyone have access to the April 7, 1926 Boone Bulletin, evidently printed in Washington D.C. (If not found on the April 7 date it may be in a May 1926 issue) . I would like to have a copy of a list of the children of John Boone Jr. and Elizabeth Little which mentions Anderson, Jackson, Sebastian, Elvira and Vina. I would be happy to pay for any copying and mailing costs. My e-mail address is [email protected] I am hoping someone in the group might have a lead. Many thanks, Boone White

Hi All, I'm going to start this Roll Call with Captain Hawkins Boone, Twelfth Pennsylvania Regiment of the Continental Line. He was killed in action at the Battle of Fort Freeland on 7/28/1779. He was my fifth great uncle. All this is proven. Mary Anna Boone and Samuel Patterson's sons, Benjamin and Robert, both also fought at Fort Freeland. Mary Anna was the daughter of Benjamin Boone and Susanna Likens. If I've got it right, Mary Anna was Daniel's first cousin. When Samuel Patterson died in Loudon Co., VA in 1764 or thereabouts (I don't recall if that's proven or not), Mary Anna ended up moving to Old Northumberland County, PA and marrying a Marcus Hulings, of the Berks Co, Hulings family known to have been in Exeter Twp with Daniel's clan. Marcus was a "boatsman" and transported the 12th PA, including Hawkins, into the skirmishes in NJ the year before Valley Forge. All this is proven. No wonder there is/was confusion about possible connections between these people! I've just updated my DeFrance Family Home Page (http://www.helenet.com/~larry/fam_home.html). I invite you all to take a look. To get to my personal Boon info take the the Allied Surnames option from the menu. Take the Fort Freeland option to learn more about that key battle of the Revolution. And, my out of date Hawkins Boone chrono file is on Genny's site at http://booneinfo.com/hawkins.html. Hawkins' widow's description of what happenend that day is in her application for his pension, also on Genny's site.

Hi All, Nancy, I echo Lou Ann's comments. Great to hear from you! You can tell its summertime. Things have been pretty low key on the list. I've personally been quite busy of late. And what spare time I've had has gone to being outside. Those of you who live in the northern climes will understand why! I think it would be a great idea for us to honor here our ancestors who fought and and otherwise sacrificed during the Revolutionary War so that there even is an Independence Day. Especially our Boones, but all of the ancestors we are lucky enough to know about who participated in our run to freedom. So, I'm proposing a a roll call on that specific topic. And I suggest we use Roll Call as our subject line. Our list is indexed and archived at RootsWeb. That means every post made to the list for the past couple of years can be searched by keywords. You can search any RootsWeb mailing list from this link: http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl. Using Roll Call as the subject really helps making key information easier to find. I don't think we should even constrain ourselves to what is "proven." I'm suggesting simply it be a memorial. Oral tradition is good. Most of the cites in Spraker are to the Draper Manuscripts, after all! So tell us your stories, but do let us know when it slips from "proven" to "stories." I'll follow this post with my first post on the subject, and I think you'll get my drift. As Lou Ann said, have a safe and enjoyable 4th.

A young man came into the store yesterday. He walked with a limp, using a cane to help him. He bought a couple of rose rocks to take back home to his wife in another state. He said she had asked for two things, a rose rock and Braums ice cream. The ice cream was of course just a joke. However, he found a dry ice company in Okla. City, is going to buy a cheap styrafoam chest and actually take his wife the ice cream. He said she is going to really be surprised! The dry ice will keep it for 24 hours and the plane trip will be 6 hours. How many people would go to that much trouble.........He said he had a friend who worked for Braums and they use natural ingredients and that is why it tastes so good. They grow their own cows and everything, so they don't go far afield to sell their product, it would be difficult or impossible. Anyway, that's my Braums story. Remember to eat ice cream on the 4th. And have a great day, as a couple of friends of ours, Montie & Donna in Del City would say.......aren't friends wonderful? Linda York brought us in a couple of peices of chocolate cake and dashed out again without a word last week.......It was delicious. Nancy Stine

this came through another list, from Ruth Keys Clark,a professional historian/genealogist whose focus is on the South. I thought it might be helpful for others. I, for one, have taken someone's ability to procession land, witness a document or transaction as an indication of age 21 or over, which appears to be a significant error on my part.
