    3. From "More Descendants of Israel BOONE," by Alice Hannah BOONE (her second book). Alice was 91 plus years when she passed away on June 27 1983 - This from "Preface And Acknowledgements" in her book. On page 4 paragraph 3 "It must be understood that the Roman numerals following their names were not originally a part of the name, but are merely being used to indicate the orderof their birth, and to help with the indentification of each one. These Jonathan Boones, in brief, are as follows: Jonatha BOONE 1, son of Squire, Sr and brother of Israel was born in Berks County, PA, in 1730; died in Ill in 1808. Jonathan BOONE, 11 son of Israel, was born in the Yadkin Area where Squire BOONE family settled after moving from Pennsylvania, in 1750; died in Burke Co, NC in 1826. Jonathan BOONE, 111 son of Squire BOONE, Jr, was born in 1766 (probably in Rowan Co, NC before his parents moved into KY) he died in March 1837. Jonathan BOONE, 1V son of Jesse BOONE and grandson of Israel, was born in Rowan Co, NC abt 1775; died in Maries Co, MO in the 1850's. (This Jonathan is listed as Seventh Generation on p7-8 with with further info in regard to him and also lists his children.) Jonathan BOONE, V son of Jonathan BOONE, 1V, and known as Jonathan, Jr is mentioned among the children of Jonathan BOONE 1V, in the Zion Hill Church Minutes in McMinn Co, Tennessee. But after that, no further record of him as been found; the date of his birth was in the early 1800's. From 5 (or p2 of Who's Who among the Jonathan Boones) Two fo the above-named Jonathan Boones, being direct descendants of Israel BOONE, appear further on in this history, but, Jonathan Boone 1, and Jonathan Boone 111, are given with brief biographies in this Article, to establish their identity more fully, and to differentiate between them and the others. And especially is this necessary in the case of the first Jonathan because he has been frequently confused with Jonathan BOONE, 11, the reason being that both were raised by Sauire BOONE, one being his own son, and the other his grandson who was orphaned at an early age. More will be given on the latter in Section B of this Supplement, where the revised record of his family is found." She then proceeds with Jonathan BOONE, 1 son of Squire BOONE Sr and brother of Israel and Daniel. She has his be at 6 Dec 1730 b in Berks Co, PA d abt 1808 in IL. She lists sons John, Joseph and Daniel and goes on to say there were several daus. Going to p6 (p3 of Who's Who among the Jonathan Boones: "Jonathan BOONE, 111 oldest son of Squire BOONE, Jr was born 30 Aug 1766; died 9 Mar 1837. His mother was Jane VAN CLEVE. He m 11 April 1795 Mrs Catherine RICE FULLENWIDER and they were the parents of three children, Frances Ann, Isiah and Sophia." On this same page she lists another Jonathan BOONE, the grandson of Jonatha BOONE and Susannah NIXON. His father was Jesse BOONE and there are three paragraphs devoted to this Jonathan. I submit this information in hopes that it may help to clarify the many Jonathan's. Dorthy MACK
