Hi... Yes, Maw must be a typo. It should say Mary (as in Mary DeHart). I believe that this is referring to: Jacob Boone (15 Aug 1754-4 May 1827) and his wife Mary DeHart (10 Oct 1753-30 Jul 1828). They are buried in the Old Pioneer Cemetery. Located next to the Maysville Historical Museum. The land for this cemetery was donated by Jacob Boone. As I recall this is not at the rear of the Washington Opera House but I may be remembering incorrectly. Jacob is the son of Joseph Boone and Elizabeth Warren. Jacob would be first cousin one generation removed to Daniel Boone. Take care, Daniel Paxton on 4/16/05 10:45 AM, Kathryn Weiss at buckeye@thegrid.net wrote: > This is from the Pendleton county KY, rootsweb list today.
