Can anyone identify the Joseph Boone of Northumberland and later Clearfield Co., PA who is mentioned repeatedly in the following article from Egle's Notes and Queries? [Source: from Egle, William Henry. "Notes and Queries: Historical, Biographical and Genealogical: Relating Chiefly to Interior Pennsylvania." Annual Volume 1897, Vol. XXIII. (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc. 1970), page 129. Reproduced on Broderbund Software's Family Archive CD #19 (Genealogical Records: Egle's Notes and Queries of Pennsylvania, 1700s-1800s)] Excerpts from "DR. SAMUEL COLEMAN. First Resident Physician of Clearfield County--His Strange History": "Dr. Samuel Coleman was the first resident physician of Clearfield County...Coleman probably came as early as 1804, as he first appears on the assessment list of Loyalsock in 1805...While in Williamsport he lived with the family of Joseph Boone. Mrs. Ellen Winter (a Boone) was a lady of some distinction there. She was a cousin of Joseph Boone, also a resident of Williamsport. The Boones originally came from Berks County. Joseph was probably a brother of the brave Hawkins Boone, who was killed at the battle of Fort Freeland, July 29, 1779. This surmise is based on the fact that Hawkins Boone had taken up a tract of land lying on the east side of Lycoming Creek (now a part of Williamsport), on which Joseph Boone afterwards lived for a short time. His name appears on the assessment list of Loyalsock Township as early as 1806... "It was on account of his association with the Boone family, no doubt, that Dr. Coleman was induced to settle in Clearfield County. Boone had a strange history also. It is related that while he was serving as sheriff of Washington (?) That the celebrated John Nicholson was arrested and placed in his charge. He escaped and Boone and his sureties became liable. Some time afterwards Boone met Nicholson in Philadelphia, who, in order to reimburse Boone for his losses, transferred to him and his bondsmen several tracts of wild land in Clearfield county. These tracts were a part of one thousand acres surveyed in the name of Philip Mecklin and Robert E. Griffith on warrant no. 5,953, March 19, 1805. Boone and his friends then settled on this land and commenced making improvements. It laid in Pike Township at that time, but in Penn now..." The article goes on to quote the will of Dr. Coleman, abstracted here: Will of Samuel Coleman, signed April 29, 1819, probated May 20, 1819 On record in Bellefonte in Book A, page 137. Land to Priscilla Boone, the wife of Joseph Boone; to Joseph Boone, Jr; and to the children of Joseph and Priscilla Boone. Personal property to Henry Boone, son of Joseph and Priscilla; Joseph Boone the younger; Mary Boone, daughter of Joseph and Priscilla; and Adalina and Eliza Boone. Executors: Joseph Boone of Pike township and David Ferguson. "Joseph Boone moved his family from Williamsport in a canoe in 1809, and settled near the cabin of Thomas McClure, who had emigrated from Cumberland county in 1799...Boone was a man of some education and showed a spirit of enterprize. He commenced the erection of a mill on Bell's Creek, but was unable to finish it on account of lack of means. He finally took up his residence near the town of Clearfield, and in 1812 was appointed clerk to the board of county commissioners and served in that capacity until 1820. In 1827 he was appointed prothonotary and filled the office until 1836. He died in 1837, and his widow, Priscilla, administered on his estate. Descendants still live in the county. The most friendly relations existed between the Boones and the pioneer physician, which is shown in his remembrance of all the members of the family in his will."
