List, I found the copy of the book I have. Shirley Middleton Moller THE GERMAN BOHNE-BOHN-BOON-BOON FAMILY OF MARYLAND BY Nellie Woods Whedon The 9 children of Johann Diel Bohne [Boone] were: i. Nicholas, stayed in Maryland ii. Jacob, went to Virginia iii. Abraham, went to Virginia iv. Margaret, stayed in Maryland v. Mary, went to Tennessee vi. John, went to Virginia vii. Catherine, stayed in Maryland viii. Elizabeth, went to Tennessee ix. Adam - no information vi. John went to Virginia From his will.... Christiansburg, Va Made Feb 24 1824 Filed Mar 1825 Will of John Boon I desire that all my estate boath real and personal be sold by executors, and the money arising from such sale to be equally divided between my wife Elizabeth Boon, Mary Boon, ELIZABETH WEDEL, Catherine Jammerson, Abraham Boon, Sariah Harter, Nancy Flegar, Jacob Boon. Lastly, I appoint to my son Jacob Boon and my son in law ANDREW WEDDLE executors to this my last will and testament. Mrs. Nellie Woods Whedon states the following: The mistaken relationship of Capt. Daniel Boone probably originated from a rumor that spread, source unknown and with no apparent proof, that a Michael Boone of the English family was the father of the children that Johann Diel Bohen named in his will. This was given some credence in Mrs. Hazel R. Spraker's book, "The Boone Family" under "undetermined Connec- tions" page 494, ans which she now considers the most serious mistake in her book. It said that Michael Boone lived and died on his farm in the Mt. Pleasant district of Frederick Co., MD., where the old stone barn he built is still standing. His grave and that of his wife are near- by. Mrs. Spraker say that there was no Michael Boone in the English family. A search of the court house records by this compiler in 1936, and also searched by others, show only one man by the name of Michael Boone. This Michael, son of Nicholas and grandson of Johann Diel Bohne, was born about 1773 and died by Jul 26, 1832, married Oct 14, 804 Mary Magdalena Burrier, daughter of Philip and Barbara Burrier. Philip Burrier died in 1803 leaving 207 acres called "Hitchbaugh" in the Mt. Pleasant district. Mrs. Spraker endorses the above correction to the error in her book, "The Boone Family", p 494. She writes that the "Michael Boone" tradi- tion prevailed in at least three branches of the family [Miller, Hoss and Pouder] before 1923, and that the error no doubt originated and spread many years prior to that date. The fact that three branches of the fam- ily claimed a Michael Boone as the earliest known American ancestor made it seem most plausible. No doubt one branch accepted it from another several generations ago. "I am glad to know, " Mrs. Spraker writes, "that your careful and analytical research has uncovered the truth and has put an end to the unfortunate perpetuation of this error." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shirley Moller" <smoller@jps.net> To: <BOONE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 4:24 PM Subject: Re: [BOONE-L] Elizabeth BOONE b 3 Sept 1791 m Andrew WEDDLE > Hello List, > I'm not sure if I'm understanding these past messages or not. > But I know I researched John Diel Boone of Frederick Co., MD. > All over in books and on the internet he had been placed in the PA Boone > family. > He was from Germany and came thru PA, but was not the son of George Boone > and Mary Maugridge. > I know that fact was from old research. > I did an article on him, and I cannot find it, but I know Rochelle had put > it in the Compass. > > Shirley Middleton Moller > Calif. > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dorthy MACK" <rmack49418@comcast.net> > To: <BOONE-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 3:20 PM > Subject: [BOONE-L] Elizabeth BOONE b 3 Sept 1791 m Andrew WEDDLE > > >> Due to the fact that this mail was several pages long I elected to omit >> it >> from my response as to the lineage of this Elizabeth BOONE who is the >> grandau of Johann Diehl BOHN BOONE.
