I've read with interest all the information about the BOONE family. One of my ancestors was Jacob BOONE, who lived in Centre County, PA. He died there in 1830. I don't know his wife's name, but he had a daughter, Barbara, who married John Sherk about 1790. Harry Glossner sent me some good information about Jacob's will and his descendants, but didn't know anything about Jacob's parents or siblings. I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to find out how they fit into the BOONE family. I found a Jacob Boone who was born about 1744 in Berks Co., PA and died at Boone's Mill, VA in 1814, but I'm quite sure he is NOT the right Jacob Boone. Does anyone know anything about a Jacob BOONE who stayed in PA? Dolly Yates

I would like to know if there are Taylors and or Cherry's listed on the map of people who owned land in that area.

Candy, I checked the Spraker book. I didn't really find too much, but noted that John Boone (grandson of George Boone, III) who married Sophia Weidner had a daughter named Susanna born May 1, 1771. Unfortunately, there is no marriage or death information for this Susanna Boone. But, perhaps you can check this out. By the way, John Boone died in 1773 and his wife remarried to John Biddle.

Thanks for the message. I am not aware of the Lamb connection to the Boones. However, I am personally connected to the Lamb family as my 6th great-grandfather William Stark married Experience Lamb in Groton, New London Co., Connecticut in 1710. Although the Starks were Baptist, I believe subsequent generations may have married into Quaker families. The eldest son of William Stark and Experience Lamb was Jonathan Stark who moved to New Jersey and married Sarah Laycock, daughter of Joseph Laycock. I believe the Laycock family were Quakers in the early 1700's. The next generation of Starks "may" have married into the Howell and Wells families, both of which "may" have had Quaker connections. My respective 5th great-grandfathers James and Daniel Stark, sons of Jonathan Stark, migrated to Loudoun Co., VA by the late 1760's. James supposedly married Mary/Nancy Hannah Howell (daughter of Hugh Howell?) while Daniel married Elizabeth Wells (no proof on this surname, but it is speculated she may be the daughter of Jacob Wells and Lavinia Stevens). The Howells were neighbors and seemingly close to the Janneys of Loudoun Co., VA. We are still researching the Howell and Wells connections -- we don't very much proof at this time. Strangely, Joseph Stark (another brother of James and Daniel) had sons who married great-granddaughters of George Boone IV and Deborah Howell!

Some speculate that it was at this time when the family migrated to North Carolina where, to my knowledge, they were not Quakers, but became Baptists. As to the question of Jewish people becoming Quakers, I'm not entirely sure. However, from what I understand of English history in the 1500's, Jewish people were not allowed to even live in England unless they converted to Christianity. I believe they called this "forced conversion," or "Anuism." One of my ancestral lines may have converted from Judaisim to Christianity in the 1500's (obviously, we have no proof and probably never will have proof). Anyway, I guess it would be reasonable for Jewish people to become Quakers under such circumstances. Best Regards, David marsha moses wrote: Hi, Carolyn. You are asking great questions.

I am not familiar with the U of NC at Greensboro. But I am very familiar with Guilford College--that is where the original Quaker records in your area are kept. And I am a graduate of the U of NC at Chapel Hill. I will tell you what I know about the Quakers in your area based on what I know about my own Quaker ancestors. They were very good people. They had mostly come into the US through Pennsylvania and the area around Philadelphia even if it did not lie in what is now Pennsylvania. For all sorts of reasons they moved down through the Valley of Virginia into NC. I also have ancestors who moved from Nantucket Massachusetts into your area. Because the Quakers did not believe in any sort of war....and because they did not want to marry outside of their church, the people on Nantucket Island felt the need to move just before the Revolution. If war came, they worried that their little island was very vulnerable. The Macys and the Gardners and the Worths among others moved south to the area that is now Guilford County. I would guess that they sailed south and landed near Perquimans where other Quakers had already settled. With the help of these Quakers, they moved inland. The next question is kind of fun. Yes, Daniel Boone's family was originally Quaker. I expect to connect someday to Daniel's ancestry. You will find the family in Berks County, Pennsylvania. But they were always dynamic people. And as some of their children were asked to leave because of marrying out, they became less "Quaker". I think that by the time they were in the NC area, they were probably no longer Quaker. If you get back with me, I'll try to firm up some of that information tomorrow. I actually have pretty much information on some of this family because I think that my William Webb that I find in Illinois in 1830 is probably descended from the George and Mary Boone Webb family that is found in Berks County in the 1700s. I have lots of research to do to get that firmed up. Wow, I can't speak to the next question. I can not imagine why a Jewish person would choose to be Quaker. What era are you talking about? I don't know how you managed to ask SO many good questions in one post. Keep asking! We'll all try to keep answering.

Hi Kathy, I don't know if there is a specific reason for Quaker migration to North Carolina, but most of the overall migration (by Quakers, Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, and Germans) was the result of economic and population pressures in Pennsylvania. There was more land in the frontier of Virginia and North Carolina, not to mention it was cheaper. A great source that explains the phenomenon is "Carolina Cradle: Settlement of the Northwest Carolina Fontier, 1747-1762" by Robert W. Ramsey. David Kathy Shearer/CMP <shearer@clinchmountainpress.net> wrote: Hello, All, I have two questions: Was there a migration from PA to Rowan County, NC, about the same time as the Boones made this trip, mid 1700s? Abraham Reece, b. about 1750, came from PA to what is now Yadkin Co. but was then Rowan. Supposedly he came as a bound child -- an apprentice -- although no record has been found yet. He eventually joined the Deep Creek Meeting near Boonville and is buried in that cemetery. Abraham Reece himself took in at least two orphan children to raise. Was this particularly encouraged by the Quakers, or was it just very common in this time period when so many parents died young?

Pat, You are correct as no one knows the identity of Israel Boone's wife. It is thought both Israel Boone and his wife died by 1756, and their children were raised by Daniel Boone. I see you have Gagg instead of Craig for the husband of Celia Boone. I think this Celia would be the right person for your Hezekiah Curtis as she could have married twice. Take care.

Hi Pat, According to "The Boone Family" by Hazel Atturberry Spraker, Jesse Boone and Sarah McMahan had a daughter named Celia (no date of birth given, but most likely in late 1700's) in North Carolina. However, Spraker shows this Celia as marrying Buck Craig, but no further information. Although Spraker didn't state as such, Jesse Boone was by all accounts a son of Israel Boone, brother of Daniel. As to Daniel Boone's burial, he was initinally buried in Marthasville, Missouri. However, in 1845, the body was moved to Frankfort, KY for burial there. David Pat Curtis <anglers@bullshoals.net> wrote: David, Do you know who Celia BOONE is that married Hezekiah CURTIS?

Some speculate that the English Boones are descendants of the de Bohun family which had Norman origins. However, there is no proof of this connection. According to "The Boone Family" by Hazel Atterbury Spraker, George Boone III sent his three eldest chidren (George IV, Squire, and Sarah) to the colonies around 1713 to "investigate conditions." The rest of the family followed by 1717 when the following is found in Gwynedd Meeting records: "10-31-1717 George Boone, Sr. produced a certificate of his good life and conversation from the Monthly Meeting at Callumpton in Great Britain, which was read and well received." Squire Boone, son of George Boone III and Mary Maugridge, married Sarah Morgan, daughter of Edward Morgan. They had the following children: 1) Sarah Boone b. 7 June 1724 married John Wilcox (or Wilcoxon) 2) Israel Boone b. 9 May 1726 married Unknown 3) Samuel Boone b. 20 May, 1728 married Sarah Day, daughter of Levi Day 4) Jonathan Boone b. 6 Dec., 1730 married Mary Carter, daughter of James Carter 5) Elizabeth Boone b. 5 Feb., 1732 married William Grant 6) Daniel Boone b. 22 Oct., 1734 married Rebecca Bryan, daughter of Joseph Bryan 7) Mary Boone b. 3 Nov. 1736 married William Bryan, son of Morgan Bryan and Martha Strode 8) George Boone b. 2 Jan., 1739 married Ann Linville, daughter of William Linville and Eleanor Bryan 9) Edward Boone b. 19 Nov., 1740 married Martha Bryan, daugther of Joseph Bryan 10) Squire Boone b. 5 Oct. 1744 married Jane Van Cleve 11) Hannah Boone b. Aug., 1746 married 1. John Stewart 2. Richard Pennington Sarah (Day) Bryan, my 5th/6th (two different lines) great-grandmother was described by Spraker as a "Quakeress of education who taught Daniel Boone to read and write." As shown above, there were several Boone-Bryan marriages (in this generation as well as subsequent generations). This connection is very well illustrated on page 507 of the Spraker book. William Bryan (my 6th great-grandfather) was a brother of Eleanor Bryan, whose daughter married George Boone, as well as Joseph Bryan, whose daughters married Daniel Boone and Edward Boone, respectively. David Janet Ariciu <monkey@getgoin.net> wrote: I am not sure if the Boone family is Jewish but here is their history. I do not see Indian here either. Now Daniel may have been a blood brother. The Boone Family A History and a Genealogy By Rev. J.W. Early, Reading, Pa. http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/data/pa+index+138238409207+ F 1. GEORGE BOONE, born in England.

GEORGE (3) BOONE [GEORGE(2), GEORGE(1)], a weaver born at Stoak, near Exeter, 1666, married Mary Maugridge [generally pronounced Mogridge] who was born 1669, at Bradninch. She was a daughter of John Maugridge and Mary, nee Milton. He died July 2, 1744, aged 78 years. She died at Exeter Feby. 2, 1740, aged 72 years. There is a quaint entry in one of the old Bibles. "Great grandfather George Boone (the 3rd) departed this life on the sixth day of the week, near 8 o'clock in the morning, May 27, 1744, in the 79th year of his age. Great grandfather left 8 children, 52 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren living, in all 70, as many as the house of Jacob when he came to Egypt." Children: 4. i George, b. at Bradninch, July 13, 1690. ii Sarah, b. Feby 18, 1691-2, m. to Jacob Stuber, March 15, 1715 5. iii Squire, b. Nov. 25, 1696.

GEORGE (4) BOONE [GEORGE (3), GEORGE (2), GEORGE (1)], 1713, he married Deborah, dau. of Wm. and Mary Howell, who was born Aug. 28, 1691 and died Jan. 26, 1759. She was a preacher among the Quakers. He taught school for several years near Philadelphia, and was a good mathematician. He also filled the office of magistrate several years. Two dates of death are given, Nov. 20, 1753 and Nov. 20, 1755, at Exeter. Children: i George, date of birth not known; died s. p. at Exeter.

(May have gone west.--J.W.E.) viii Jeremiah, died 1787--all that is known. ix Abigal.--is said to have been married to Adin Pancoast (M.J.R.) x Hezekiah. There may be some doubt whether this is Hezekiah of Roaring Creek, --as that would make him between 40 and 50 years of age before he married. 5. SQUIRE (4) BOONE [GEORGE (3), GEORGE (2), GEORGE (1)], July 23, 1720 m. Sarah. dau. of General Morgan, of the Revolutionary army. There is a record of the transfer of 500 acres of land, secured August 1682 to Ralph Asheton, Philadelphia, who conveyed one half of it to Squire Boone. This was patented to the latter April 10, 1750. He, with his wife, Sarah, conveyed 158 acres of it to Wm. Mogridge (Maugridge) April 11, 1750. This is found among the papers deposited with the Historical Society of Berks Co., by Mort. L. Montgomery. The tract is described as situated in Exeter township. This last transfer was made only 19 days before Squire Boone set out for N. Carolina, viz, May 1st, 1750. The names of his children as furnished by R. N. Mayfield are: i Sarah, b 1724. ii Israel, b. 1726. iii Samuel, b. 1728. iv Jonathan, b 1730. v Elizabeth, b. 1732. 11. vi Daniel, b. "Oct. 22, 1733." 6.

He and the rest of the family left Exeter May 1, 1750, and "moved to N.Carolina where they settled. But at present he is settled on the Ohio, at Kentucky. 1781, Oct. 20, then Deniel came to see us the first time--1788, Feby. 12, then Daniel Boone (with Rebecca his wife and their son Nathan) came to see us. He died at Charlotte, a village in Missouri, Sept. 21, 1820, aged 87 years. 1790, Sept. 13, then Wm. Wilcockson (a relative) and family removed from N. Carolina." This is in the language of the old family Bible. 12. HUGH (5) BOONE [JOSEPH (4), GEORGE (3), GEORGE (2), GEORGE (1)], bought his father's property June 1779.

In this connection the statement is made: "Heezekiah Boone was born 1764 and moved to Roaring Creek, apparently with his grandfather's cousin, Joshua. And had a family of six children." But Hezekiah of Roaring Creek had seven children. Besides he would seem to fit better into the family of William Boone, one of whose sons, born 1764, was named Hezekiah. 14.

There are quite a number of the Boones still living. R. N. Mayfield gives a rather extended account of Daniel Boone, and his descendants. It would extend this article to undue length to attempt even an abstract, as they were intermarried with the Armstrongs, the Wests, the Houstons, the Mayfields, the Shorts, the Owens, the Yates and many other families. It may not be amiss to copy a few items from an old Bible formerly in the possession of Edwin Boone, who died in Reading about two years ago. "Our Boone family--George Boone's sons: John, Squire and James; James Boone, the son of George; Joshua, the son of James; Samuel, the son of Joshua; Amos Schneider, son of Samuel; Frederic L., Samuel L., Wm. J., Daniel S., Huizinga N. Boone, the sons of Amos S. Boone and Sarah Yost Linderman." This does not include some of the families still living, and possibly some of those of former generations have been overlooked. =========================================================================== The above article is from a monthly magazine , "The Pennsylvania-German", Vol. XI No. 12, December, 1910.

Hello, All, I have two questions: Was there a migration from PA to Rowan County, NC, about the same time as the Boones made this trip, mid 1700s? Abraham Reece, b. about 1750, came from PA to what is now Yadkin Co. but was then Rowan. Supposedly he came as a bound child -- an apprentice -- although no record has been found yet. He eventually joined the Deep Creek Meeting near Boonville and is buried in that cemetery. Abraham Reece himself took in at least two orphan children to raise. Was this particularly encouraged by the Quakers, or was it just very common in this time period when so many parents died young? Kathy

Pat Curtis: These URLS are contain some interesting information and a look at the BOONE Home in Missouri. http://www.mendenhall.org/mfa/faqs/index.html Mendenhall Family FAQs "How is the Boone Massacre connected to the Mendenhall family?" Richard Mendenhall, son of Mordecai Mendenhall and Charity Grubb Beeson was born 01 Nov 1737 in Orange Co, VA. He died 10 Oct 1773 in Lee Co, VA. Richard was part of a scouting party led by James Boone, son of Daniel, which was ambushed by Indians at Wallens Creek, VA. During the American Revolution Daniel Boone made arrangements to sell what property he could not move with him and persuaded some of his wife's family, the Bryans, to join him on a trip to claim new land in Kentucky. He was joined by his brother, Squire, Squire's wife, Jane, and their three children, along with Benjamin Cutbeard and his wife, who was a niece of Daniel's. Making a total of five or six families, along with about 40 men who each had a horse or two to help carry all the supplies. Among these 40 men were John and Richard Mendenhall. Richard was 36 years of age and John, a first cousin, was 25. The party left the Yadkin on 25 Sep 1773. When they reached Wolf Hills, now Abingdon, VA, Daniel sent his seventeen year old son, James, along with John and Richard Mendenhall to go to Castle Woods, which was off the trail to the north about 25 miles. They were to pick up supplies and meet the main party further west. The main party would follow the old wilderness trail, through Moccasin Gap, over Wallens Ridge at a point about 10 miles east of the Cumberland Gap, where they would make camp and leave the women and children to rest until James and the Mendenhall party overtook them. They feared that if the Indians would attack it would be in that area and for protection they wanted the party to be together. Upon arriving at Captain Russell's home on the Clinch River, Henry Russell, the seventeen year old son of Captain Russell, a man by the name of Isaac Crabtree and two Negro slaves named Charles and Adam, joined James Boone and Richard and John Mendenhall to help out with the supplies and farm tools. Captain Russell himself said he would follow along later as he had some necessary work to do at home before leaving. He would join David Gass who lived eight miles down the Clinch River. James Boone and the Mendenhall party set out on 8 Oct 1773, following the old Fincastle Trail down past David Gass's place and crossed Clinch River at Hunters Ford, now Dungannon. From that point they passed through Rye Cove and took the Wilderness Trail over Powell Mountain to the head waters of Wallens Creek. James and his companions could see signs, probably made by his father's party and he knew that the place of rendezvous was but a few miles ahead. However, darkness overtook them and fearing they might lose their way, they set up camp the evening of 9 Oct. Early in the morning of the 10th, Indians rushed up with knife blades raised and guns cracking. A man by the name of Drake and Richard Mendenhall were killed out right. James Mendenhall crept off mortally wounded. He had been attacked by a big Indian who he knew to be Big Jim, a Shawnee, who had roamed the Yadkin Country and had pretended to be a friend of his father. Henry Russell was shot through the hips and brought down. All in the party were killed except Isaac Crabtree and the two Negroes slaves, Adam and Charles. **************************** Because I wanted you to see the Daniel Boone home in Missouri, I did a SEARCH, so see some of the URLS, which came up!

Thomas MILLARD Sr was born 1642 in Warwickshire, England, and died 1712 in Pennsylvania. He married Elizabeth Cox on 30 May, 1670, in Edgbaston, England. He was the first of the Pennsylvania Millards to come to the United States approx.1681. William Penn had asked him to travel to Pennsylvania ahead of his ships to prepare housing and suitable lodgings for the Quaker families who would follow in Penn's ships. Known is that he arrived with his son Thomas Millard Jr. in approx. 1681, and that perhaps his wife "Elizabeth?" Millard arrived later on April 24,1862. The captain's name(or perhaps another officer in charge of the ship) was Epaphroditus Benton. Hi, listers. I've recently worked my way back to this fellow. I don't know for sure that he was a Friend but, given his associates, he might have been. Is anyone else descended from Thomas and Elizabeth (Cox) Millard and have reliable information about them? Mark

Hi again, thinking about it, I can imagine a Jewish person finding the Friends the easiest branch of Christianity to move into -- reasons being: * Jews did not use a name for God (usually written G_D by Hebrew writers) -- the Friends weren't (from what I understand) hung up on naming G_D either, speaking of "the light which is within" * The Friends had the LEAST formal rigamarole associated with worship, thus would mean less feeling for a Jew of being heretical in their new practice (I'm assuming here most people converted for reasons it was never acceptable to be Jewish most places) * The Friends' reputation for compassion and tolerance -- speaks for itself in a time when the Spanish Inquisition's treatment of Jews was living memory for some. * Friends kept clean -- very important for Hebrew people, even when converted from what I've read * no fear of physical punishment with the Friends for who your ancestors were! Just a few thoughts. (My family here were practicing Friends (as was I) in Canberra for a while, so I know a little but not much.) Blessed be Willow

Hi there, I've got a bit of notes about Daniel -- he was related to the Eastern Cherokee, and his family moved out to KY/TN around the time of the bid for the state of Franklin, and settled in Ky afterward. There's no indication he's Jewish, but was probably part Indian. That was fairly common back then. I can find more detail on him if you like, blessed be, willow (Quaker roots -- DeCou, Ashton, Bloome and others plus Metis and families including Labissoniere/Marchand/Benoit/LaLiberte/ etc Canada/QC, Tadlock/Bourland KY/CA, Collett MO, McDiarmid/Henderson -- Isle of Skye Scotland/Ontario, Palatines - Dachstader, Loyalist - Stevens, DAR (eligible non-member) -- Hibbett VA and many more)

Mark, Yes, he should have apologized. But what can I say. Just stubborn I guess you could say and thought he was right and stuck up for his son.But I don't know who his son did marry? Do you? Squire Boone and Sarah Morgan did have a son by the name of: Israel BOONE b 9-May-1726 Exeter,Bucks Co.,PA d at age 30 20-Jun-1756 m 13-Dec-1747 ? and he did marry out of the Quaker Faith and I show he had a son by the name of Jessie BOONE b 1748 Burke Co.,NC d 1829-30 m Sarah McMAHON who had one daughter Celia BOONE b 1790 Burke Co.,NC m Wm.

Some of their children did "marry out," and it is thought that Squire Boone left the Quaker faith when he refused to apologize for his son Isaiah marrying a non-Quaker.
