Here is a list of my Boone ancestors: Belle Boone = Arthur Howard Hopkins James Thomas Boone = Margaret Jane Mock Samuel L. Boone = Sarah E. Bobo James D. Boon = Catharine Ann Smith That's it. James D. Boon was born (according to two Census records) about 1799 in Pennsylvania. He married Catharine Ann Smith in 1826 in Frederick County, MD. A recent DNA test indicates that my Boone line corresponds to no others in the test group so far, so I'm not related to the George Boone line. That leaves some possibilities. The "Swedish Boons" are one. They settled in the Delaware Valley early on, but so far none of the descendants have taken the DNA test. There are also Boons and Boones from other countries who settled in Pennsylvania, including some from Ireland. Also, Boon or its spelling variants are names not unknown in Germany and Holland. If anyone has any clues or hints they'd like to pass on, I'd be happy to receive them. For now, I've switched my efforts to researching other lines. Art Hopkins Arthur Hopkins Federal Way, WA
