Would like to know the connect between Johnson O. Boone & the rest of the Boone's buried at St Catherine's Cem at New Haven. Johnson O. Boone - of age; m Appalane Whelen (consent of guard.) 20 Nov 1877 Meade Co, Ky by James O'Conner. Lic date 20 Nov 1877. Have been sent some Boone Genealogy by the Boone Family Assoc. which mentions Boones in Meade Co that are connected to the family of Squire Boone Jr (brother of the Daniel Boone). Can't help but wonder about a connect between the Md & Pa Boones. Boones in Pa by 1717/18 & spread out from there. Just as the Linkcorns (Lincoln) Family of Washington/Hardin Cos.
