This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4NC.2ACE/1308.1 Message Board Post: That is an excellent question, Jan. Again, I am surprised the question has not been answered some time ago. I note that Benedict H. Boone was a witness to the 21JUN1848 marriage of Samuel Boone and Temperance Jones. It is possible that Benedict and Samuel were brothers; although this does not necessarily follow. Again speculating; the name, Benedict, was often used by the Haines'. I would not consider it too unlikely that the 'H.' in his middle name stood for Haines. Of course, 'Hayward' or 'Hill' (as William's wife, Ruth, is given both maiden names) are just as likely. This gives rise to the concept that his mother was a Haines. Benedict was a witness, with Samuel Hains, of the 12MAR1849 marriage of Daniel Hains and Rozanna McLane. See: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbyork/church/queen-bapt-mar.html At: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbyork/cem/burtts.html a son of Benedict and Patience, Thomas Boon (b. ca. 6MAY1836, d. 18NOV1836), is bur. in Burtt's Corner with William and Ruth (Hayward) Boon. It seems rational to expect the Benedict was a grandson of the latter couple; especially since his connections lead in that direction; and I am sure this has occured to you. I'll get back to that soon. In the version of the 1881 census at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbyork/census/81-Douglas1/Douglas1-81-08.htm Benedict lives 'next door' to William H. Boone (b. ca. 1804), and not far from Richard Boone (ca. 1825.) Since Benedict does not appear amongst the PANB land petitions or grants, I assume he inherited his land from his father; sharing it with brothers. William H. and Richard may be such brothers. At: probate records apparently exist for: Boone / Allen Burt / Saint Marys / 1899 Boone / Hazel I. / North Lake / 1946 Boone / Henry L. / Douglas / 1945 Boone / Irvine / Douglas / 1940 Boone / James / Saint Marys / 1883 Boone / Samuel / Douglas / 1830 Boone / William / Douglas / 1829 Boone / William B. / Fredericton / 1883 Boone / William H. / Fredericton / 1855-185-- Of these that of William H. Boone may be of interest; as might those of Samuel and William. A sister might be Lydia Ann Boone (b. 27DEC1822, m. Richardson Allen), who named a son, Benedict Boone Allen. Sometime, probably about APR1934, George Havelock Flewelling collected material on his immediate ancestors and compiled a work, "The History of the Flewelling Family; or, My Ancestors". What is particularly significant about that work, in comparison with other genealogies of the period, is that George did not make references to coats-of-arms or ancestors who accompanied William the Conqueror; but attempted to use first-hand material effectively. In commenting on his Boone ancestors, he notes: "They were people of considerable means and importance, their lands comprising most of the site of the present city of Providence, Rhode Island. The title deeds of which remained in the Boone family, and were finally in care of Mrs Robert Allen (a direct descendant); but were destroyed when their home on the Hanwell Road [Fredericton: TAM] was burned a few years ago." and: "They had a large family, and below is the record as copied from the Family Bible." referring to William and Ruth. He appears to have searched amongst cemeteries as well, noting that they are: ". . . both buried in the Baptist Cemetery at Burtt's Corner. Suitable monuments mark both graves." Thus his sources apper to have been reliable, and even unique. He gives for Ruth and William the following family: William Boone b. Aug. 22, 1743, d. April 28, 1829 Ruth Hayward b. Feb. 25, 1744, d. May 12, 1833 children: John b. July 12, 1762 Samuel b. March 9, 1764, m. March 21, 1785, d. Nov. 4, 1848 William Jr b. June 22, 1766, m. March 17, 1788 , d. Nov. 17, 1849 Hannah b. Feb. 26, 1768, m. Dec. 8, 1788, d. June 17, 1860 Mary b. April 26, 1770, d. March 9, 1840 Lucy b. Aug. 5, 1772, m. Jan., 1805, d. Aug. 13, 1842 Henry b. July 4, 1774, m. June 8, 1798, d. June 14, 1846 Wightman b. Feb. 26, 1776, d. Dec. 12, 1778 Howe b. Dec. 12, 1777, d. Dec. 12, 1777 James (Rev.) b. May 8, 1780, m. Oct. 7, 1806, d.Oct. 23, 1865 Elizabeth b. Nov. 3, 1783, d. July 6, 1800 George Sr. b. June 6, 1785, m. Oct. 18, 1809, d.Jan. 13, 1861 Anna b. March 17, 1787, m. Oct. 14, 1844 (elsewhere given as 1804 and 1814, with 1804 most likely; although her eldest child, George Haines, is said to have been b. ca. 1800), d. Feb. 23, 1881 Unfortunately, George H. Flewelling did not name spouses in the list, and only continues with George Boone. He names George Boone's wife, Sarah Crane, and refers to their family Bible, but has no dates for her. The list of children for George and Sarah, which seems complete, does not include Benedict. Richard Boone (b. 1JUN1825), however is their son, and appears to be the same in 1881. They also have a son, William H. (b. 18FEB1821), who appears not to be the William H. in 1881. So far we have that Benedict was likely a grandson of William Boone; with his father possibly being one of: John Boone b. 1762 Samuel Boone b. 1764, d. 4NOV1848, m. 21MAR1785 Katherine DeWitt William Boone, Jr. b. 1766, d. 17NOV1849, m. 17MAR1788 (or 29NOV1787?) Ann Hayward. A list of their children at: http://www.tcarden.com/tree/boone/willboonejr.cfm does not include Benedict. Henry Boone b. 1774, m. 8JUN1788 (1798 in George H. Flewelling; which seems more likely) Annie White the Rev. James Boone b. 1780; probably the James I. Boon b. ca. 1780, d. 23OCT1865 age 85 years, bur. Burtt's Corner Community, York County and siblings possibly William H. Boone (b. ca. 1805), Samuel Boone m. Temperance Jones, and Lydia Ann Boone b. 27DEC1822, m. Richardson Allen. I haven't the time to continue this, now, Jan; so I'll try to pick it up again later. Thomas

Greetings All. In our quest to encourage EVERYONE to answer YES to the informed consent question on the upcoming Census I have been asked to advise regarding the benefits of doing so, and for what purposes Historic Census can be used. Aside from the obvious uses of genealogists seeking ancestors to add to their family tree, a few uses that come immediately to mind are: 1. To determine age eligility for pensions, etc., where no other sources such as birth certificates are available. 2. To determine descendancy to settle estates where no will has been found. 3. To provide clues regarding genetically inherited diseases and disabilities. Who among you can suggest other beneficial uses for Historical Census records? Please let me know. On Census Day, 16 May 2006, make sure you answer YES to allow your information to be made available to your descendants in 2098. Make sure everyone you know does as well. Spread the word!

Tracy Book 1778 February. At the State Assembly of Rhode Island in, the following resolution was presented: "Whereas, it is represented to this Assembly that Samuel Boone, William Boone, John Wightman, Ebenezer Slocum, Charles Slocum, and Thomas Cutter, have gone to the Island of Rhode Island and have joined the enemy:- Therefore, resolved that if the aforementioned persons have absented themselves, that the Sheriff of the County of Kings County forthwith take possession of their real and personal property in behalf of the State. That their real estate, if any they have, be leased by his Honor, the Deputy Governor, in the manner in which other estates in the possession of the State have been so directed to be leased.

Further enacted that these farms with appurtenances be sold on or before December 1, 1780, money for which sold paid into gold or silver and no other currency; same to be lodged in the Treasury and any over £5000 to be at the disposal of the General Assembly. When it came time to sell Samuel's farm, a committee reported that one Stukely Westcott held a mortgage on it for £2600. Westcott, however, conveyed his right to the farm to the State which, in turn, porvided him with a quit-claim deed thus restoring the said land to the mortgage holder. Other records indicate the farm was leased to a Michael Dawley for £91; also that Richard Fry Esq., be empowered to receive of Mrs. Micahel Dawley, the mutton of 14 in lieu of so much beef, in part rent to the State's Farm late belonging to Samuel Boone. Subsequent records indicate that Samuel may have had two farms, one in Exeter, known as Black Plain, and one in North Kingston. July.

Samuel Boone II and son George were taken prisoner at St. George's Manor, Long Island. During the Revolutionary War the British confiscated the Manor House and erected a small fort. The location was well suited to protect the eastern end of the Great South Bay and the inlet from the Atlantic Ocean that then existed there. The Fort and Manor were destroyed by Major Benjamin Tallmadge and his dismounted dragoons in 1780 and returned to Connecticut with the captured British soldiers. 1781 Hazard's Corps of Refugees: Boone Inquiry William Ellery Esq.

Eunice was orphaned at 12, married by 16, and illiterate according to the 1901 census. I welcome help in identifying Eunice's grandparents Mary Ann and Charles King/Roy. Eunice’s brother Elias King married Humphrey Boone’s sister. Elias, Charles and Eunice are identified in the 1881 Census as ‘French’. Any corrections also welcomed, Cordially, Janice

The two Boone's on the 'Union' in May 1783 to Saint John, Samuel and William, I assume were their sons; William (with wife Ruth Hill and 6 children), and Samuel III (alone, his wife and youngest child stayed in Rhode Island). Prisoners were released from the Pennsylvania prison after the Treaty of Paris was signed April 19, 1783. Samuel II would have been about 66 at that time. Cordially

Surnames: Gallagher Boone White Swan Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4NC.2ACE/1304.1 Message Board Post: I am interested in learning the identity of his wife, Eizabeth Swan, who I believe was in some way related to the Swan family who settled in Manners-Sutton. She was of Prince William at marriage, as was one witness to their marriage: Leah Rosborough (who married in 1846 James Fraser of Prince William). There was an Elizabeth Swan, daughter of the family, but she seems to be accounted for, having married another. Could she have been a widow Swan? Cordially, Janice (fellow descendant from Thomas William Gallagher and Eunice P.Boone.) Does anyone know what the P in Eunice's name, and possibly in the name of her mother, Maria P.White, stands for?

(His daughter Hannah Boone's husband was John Franklin, the man making the inquiry.) The plaque at the site reads: "Under orders of General George Washington, two companies of the Second Continental Light Dragoons, commanded by Major Benjamin Talmadge attacked and destroyed Fort St George and captured the British garrison at this place on November 23, 1780." I would love to hear the rest of the story, but find nothing on the net. Did this Samuel Boone come to New Brunswick? 1781 "Hazard's Corps of Refugees: Boone Inquiry William Ellery Esq. Delegate from the State of Rhode Island to Congress is desired by his humble servt. John Franklin to make strict enquiry to find out whether Mr. Samuel Boone Senr. is yet living as last fall he was taken at George's manner on Long Island by Major Talmadge a refugee prisoner and Conveyed to Lancaster in Pennsylvania. I desire at all events that it may be known as my Wife is his daughter and she is very uneasy to know where her mislead Father is. If dead it is desired that it may be certified properly."
