Stevens' pedigree chart 8/91. ; b. & d. dates/places source: Lloyd Boone Pedigree Chart 9/91. b. date: 4/9/1717; burial place The following from Lloyd Boone's records: Records, which were badly damaged by fire at Wickford, RI indicate that Samuel was chosen Lieutenant of the 3rd Kingston Company of Militia and the next year became Captain of this company. At the February 1778 session of the State Assembly, a resolution was passed that, Samuel Boone, William Boone, and others, having joined the enemy, the Sheriff of the County of Kings County forthwith take possession of their real and personal estate in behalf of the State. In March of 1778 the Sheriff was ordered to sell the personal estate of Samuel Boone (and other). In June 1700 records from five farms were seized by the State, their owners having gone over to the enemy, be pledged and funded for the credit and redemption of taxes assessed of 5000 pounds. Samuel's farm was shown as about 600 acres of Exeter. It was further enacted that these farms be sold on or before December 1, 1780, money which was to be paid in gold or silver and not currency; same to be lodged in the Treasury and ! any over 5000 pounds to be at the disposal of the General Assembly. Other records indicate the farm was leased to a Michael Dawley for 91 pounds; also that Richard Fry Esq., be empowered to receive of Mrs. Michael 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. February 1784 records show a report of a committee appointed to enquire into circumstances of the encumbrances which are on the estates late belonging to Samuel Boone which are under mortgage to Stuckeley Westcott of upwards of 2600 pounds. The committee concluded that said Stuckeley Westcott convey his right in the said farm in Exeter to the State, that then the fee simple for the said farm in North Kingston be conveyed by the General Treasurer in behalf of the State to Stuckeley Westcott. This report was acted upon and passed by the State. July 1780 records show an act was passed to prevent persons listed, including Samuel Boone, being admitted in the State. If apprehended, will be committed to jail and transported to some place in the dominion or possession of the forces of Great Britain. source: Faye M. Boones' pedigree chart on file in N.B.
