I don't have anything on your Capt. John Boone. But, my Adin Pancoast (Quaker who m. Abigail Boone, dtr. of Wm. Boone & Sarah Lincoln) signed the Oath of Fidelity in Frederick Co., MD during the Revolution. I understand he was running guns with his wife's cousin, Daniel, and the other Boone boys. So, yes. There WAS Boone activity in MD during the Revolution and I'm sure more than one who was disowned by the church for their involvement in the effort. The Boones were originally very devout Quakers. So were the Lincolns. Mary Marshall At 12:37 PM 5/15/01 -1000, Viehweg Family wrote: >Aloha! >Checking out the Maryland State Archives and I find several Boone's. Does >anyone know of a Capt.

Aloha! Thanks for the reply, Abigail is the sister to our ancestor, William Boone who married Susannah "Susan" Parks. I have Pancoast spelled as Pancost (found it both ways)? So, is your spelling the correct?
