Surnames: Boone Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4NC.2ACE/1307 Message Board Post: Samuel Boone was captured by the American side at the Battle of St George's Manor, Long Island, and imprisoned in Pennsylvania, as shown below. (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."
