    3. Standard works which include information on the town of Boonsboro, MD include 1. Williams' History of Washington County Maryland 2. Scharf's History of Western Maryland I've heard reference to a work by a local historian named Bast which has Boonsboro History in it, but have not seen it. Members of the Boone family for whom Boonsboro, MD is named are buried in the old Salem Reformed Churchyard Cemetery in Boonsboro behind the Trinity Reformed Church. You will also find them in the land records. Those are what I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure I've read discussions in the past about the relationships of these Boones to the family of Daniel Boone, but can't recall what I read. There is a marriage of Charlotte Boone to Ephraim Davis, an early Boonsboro settler whose second wife is Elizabeth Brantner so I've touched peripherally on this family, but have no direct connection. There were two children with Charlotte - most notable is probably Elias Davis who was a state legislator if I recall correctly. It's been awhile since I worked on that particular line.
