Quote from Dr Hodges book "Israel Boone ,born 9 may 1726,married in Exter out of order in 1747,went to North Carolina with his father where he died early of consumption,which he was supposed to have caught from his wife who died of that disease before him" There is a lot more information on Israel's death .He was taken to a Moravian settlement that had a doctor ,spent some time there and was sent home to die. The settlement was near Winston -Salem ,about 20 miles from the Boone home. They kept records that verify it.
