These are the parents of: Joseph Parr Boon Mary Ann Boon George Boon Williamson Boon Jacob H. Boon Charles Boon Harrison Boon Emma Virginia Boon Jennie E. Boon George Boon was a blacksmith, found living in South Mulberry, in 1840 Phila census. Appears to have married daughter of Jacob Boon and Mary Ann Crissman or Cressman. Death record of George Boon shows Thomas ? - for father - no mother listed. Have reached a brick wall, trying to find parents of George Boon. Have searched online records on children of George and Elizabeth Boon - who married Smith siblings (parents George Smith and Deborah Jones) - but cannot find marriage records of these, nor can I find marriage record of George Boon/Elizabeth Apple. Have searched census records, and still have not found any clues. Have gone to Mt. Moriah cemetery and hacked through the weeds/bushes and found tombstones - but these have no clues. Appears the Smith siblings were of Quaker descent. Have found City directory info on Jacob Apple, George Smith, tax assessment records - but still no clues as to where to search further. Need help on where to focus efforts on possible information. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
