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.
