Married my great grandfather James "Ervin" Boone. Their son my grandfather Lewis Amos Boone born 1862, ended up in Macon County, N C< and since there are Buckners in Macon County, near Cherokee County, There may be a better connection. Do you have any connection to this family? << No I don't think we've talked yet. <G> Could you be more specific about your Matilda? What years? Who did she marry?
