In the community where my in-law's grew up there was a family which was quite prominent in the area. In the various history books, the family is always mentioned. The ancestral line mentions that one of the women was a niece to the Daniel Boone, but never identified her parent who was the sibling. I don't know why as it was several years ago, but I had made communication with someone who had some information online about the family. In turn the gentleman sent me some information about the Boone family connection. Yesterday I happen to run across this packet of information and re-read it with greater interest. This family information is about Daniel's brother Jonathan and his family. In reviewing it I found something a little disturbing and hope that someone will help not only me but others who descend from Jonathan. One of Jonathan's descendants passed away in the early 1990's but had done extensive research and travel on his family. According to his research it appears that Jonathan was only married once and that was to Mary Carter. Some are showing that Jonathan was married to Elizabeth Dagley and had a son Joseph. The research information shows that Joseph was a son and had some business dealings with his father. However, it appear that Mary only died a few years before Jonathan and makes it difficult for Elizabeth to be Joseph's mother as some are indicating. Can someone provide any incite about Jonathan and his marriage/marriages as well as his children. Thank you. Debbi Geer __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Good morning Debbi, I was very glad to read your post on Jonathan Boon. I am supposedly a descendant and the man you spoke of was Dan Boone of the San Antonio, TX area.Dan was a descendant of the Richmond, I have written further down about. Dan did a lot of research, but he didn't docuement anything as far as I can tell. I do know that he left his work to the Davie co, NC library. Also, you can read this on the BOONE genforum posted there by Robert Haefner. In Spraker's book, it was mentioned that Jonathan came early to KY, had daughters that got married around the Green River which runs through Barren co KY. There was a Jonathan, John and Joseph listed on tax books for 1798 through 1800. John was also listed on the 1800 Barren co census. By 1810 there wasn't a John in Barren co but there was a John next door in Warren co for 1810/1830. My 3rd GGF Richmond Pearson Boon was born in Barren co 1803. He gave on the 1880 Kendall co TX census his birth as KY, Father born NC, Mother born in Scotland. I have never found Richmond on a census etc. before 1838 when I found him in St. Francis co AR on a tax list. He was there in 1840, 1850 he had become RP BOONE, then he was off to Bell co TX in 1851. I know this is scrambled, will answer anything I can which isn't much more than written here. Thanks for posting that, seems no one has Jonathan or John! Pat Tennon Lawton, OK >

My source of information regarding the family of Jonathan BOONE>Squire comes from several sources. "The Boone Family," by SPRAKER p60,61,81 has some detail in regard to Jonathan, where he lived and what he did for a living. "Pike County History," by Jess M THOMPSON, CH 32 p93 also has information on Jonathan. Jonathan BOONE b 17 Dec 1730 d 1808 buried in French Cem at Milton, Pike Co, IL m Mary CARTER b 1732 in Cecil Co, MD the dau of James CARTER of Cecil Co, MD. They married May 1750 St Luke's Parish, Rowan Co, NC and had 9 children: Abigail b 1751 d 12 May 1785 m George REED. Susannah b 1756 no further info on her. Dinah b 1759 d 1823 Milton Pike Co, IL and is bur in French Cem. Married Zachariah Boone ALLEN and "Pike Co Hist," by THOMPSON devotes a lot of space to this family. Squire b 1760 in Rowan Co, NC and no further info. Hannah b 1762 m 1780 to Robert FRANK and I show that there is a problem here. Joseph b 1763 d 1825 in Chicot Co, AR and I also have alt date of 1827 in Big Cypress bend, MS m 23 July 1798 to Sarah Sally DAGLEY. John b 1767 Rowan Co, NC. John went to KY then to TN where he died and I do not have date. He was married first to Anna GRIDER and then Henrietta STUART. He raised a family of 17 children. Sarah Sally b abt 1769 d 1844 Lincoln Co, MO m abt 1780 in Green Co, IL to James LEWIS, Sr. Daniel BOOONE, Sr b 1775 d 1817 in San Antonio, Bewxas Co, TX killed by Indians. He married Marie Rose BENOIT 12 Aug 1800 in Opelousas, LA by Fr Michael Bernard BARRIERE. I do not have her death date, it would have been bef 23 Nov 1801 as he m Ann BOUDREAUX on this date St Martinville, Opelousas, LA. About Elizabeth DAGLEY the dau of Elias DAGLEY and Catherine (maiden name unk). Ch 32, p93 of "Pike Co Hist," by THOMPSON "There is also the possibility that Jonathan BOONE was more than once married. There is also a tradition of a Benjamin BOONE, a reputed son of John or Jonathan and Elizabeth (DAGLEY) BOONE." Information sent to me 13 Jan 1997 from a DAGLEY desc shows Elizabeth as m2 of Jonathan. Elias DAGLEY b abt 1730 and Catherine had six children. James, Jonathan, Grace, Rebecca, Elizabeth who m Jonathan BOONE (presumably) and Thomas DAGLEY. Thomas is the father of Sarah Sally DAGLEY who m 23 July 1798 in Warren Co, KY. I would certainly be interested in having the correct information in regard to the m of Jonathan BOONE to Elizabeth DAGLEY.

Dorthy Thanks for the information. When I got down to the statement about Jonathan's burial location in Pike Co IL I had to pull out the information I have. According to Obert A Boone who travelled with Dan George Boone, both descendants of Jonathan, Jonathan is buried at New Haven IL which is in Gallatin Co IL. The two visited his grave there on one of their trips. The cemetery has been referred to as the Boone Cemetery and as the old Boonsfort Cemetery. Dan's noted (1983-1984) that Glen Miner wrote in his publication "Gallatin County, Illinois Cemeteries" the following - "Between the River and Water Street, there is a ridge in front of the Richardson home. This is said to be the burial sport of many of the early settlers, inlcuding some members of the Boone family. I have been told that there were two large flat rocks, the length and width of a grave, as well as from four to ten of the early tin type stones, plus a few sand stones at the head of the graves. Some of the older people know this as the Boone Cemetery." Dan also later noted that the cemetery had been destroyed via various means in recent years and that no one will know for sure who was buried in the cemetery and that in Oct 1982 the cemetery site was being used as an animal pen. Is there any proof such as a stone in Pike Co IL for Jonathan's burial or even a death record. I know that IL didn't become a state until 3 Dec 1818 and that all the records for that part of the state were considered St Clair Co IL and then later was considered part of Madison Co IL, both prior to statehood. Some St Clair Co IL records date back to the late 1700's but not sure if there are death records for the said time in question. Debbi __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Dorothy, Thanks for posting this information on Jonathan Boone. Does anyone know if there is any other documentation besides the Pike Co., IL history to support that Jonathan Boone's daughter Sarah (or Sally) married James Lewis? Is there a marriage record somewhere? I am looking for a Sarah Boone who supposedly married my ancestor Timothy Logan. From what I understand, Timothy Logan's father (also named Timothy Logan) may have been a chain carrier for James Carter's survey team in Granville Co., NC in the 1750's. This "early" connection has led to my speculation that perhaps Sarah Boone who married Timothy Logan, Jr. was a daughter of Jonathan Boone and Mary Carter. The "legend" of Timothy Logan, Jr. is that he disliked his step-father and moved with the Boone family to Kentucky in the 1770's (another "legend" says he actually lived with the family of Daniel Boone). When one looks at the records, his father Timothy Logan, Sr. did indeed die by 1763 in Rowan Co., NC, and Timothy Logan, Jr. was listed under William Davis in the 1774 Surry Co., NC taxlist. Unfortunately, there is no documentation to support a connection to the Boone family. We do know that Timothy Logan was noted as an "Indian Spy" in his Revolutionary War Pension papers and served in the campaigns of George Rogers Clark. Timothy Logan, Jr. died in 1848 in Garrard Co., KY. The estate distribution was disputed, and the chancery court records revealed that he had 12 children (who lived to adulthood). All three of his wives were named Sarah -- the first was supposedly Sarah Boone (as noted above) by whom he had five children. He was also married to Sarah Alexander (one child) in 1793, and Sarah Smith (six children) in 1810. Unfortunately, the chancery records never mentioned the maiden name of the first wife and there is no known marriage record to be found. Thanks in advance to anyone who may have information on Timothy Logan's potential connection to the Boone family. Best Regards, David Brown P.S. As I mentioned a few days ago in a separate post, some believe that Timothy Logan may have married the daughter of Josiah Boone and Hannah Hite. This daughter was supposedly named Sarah Jemima Boone or Jemima Sarah Boone. Does anyone know anything about the Josiah Boone family? Josiah Boone was a son of George Boone IV and Deborah Howell, and therefore a first cousin of Daniel Boone. I believe there is dispute as to whether he actually married Hannah Hite -- the only marriage record for him shows his wife as Hannah Henton (who may have been another Boone cousin).
