Boone family was connected to the Lamb family also ----- Original Message ----- From: "DAVID BROWN" <dbrown544@prodigy.net> To: <QUAKER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 22:32 Subject: Re: [Q-R] Correction to Previous Missive I wanted to point out that Squire Boone left the Quaker faith after refusing to apologize for his son Israel marrying out.

I'm a Boone descendant through two of Daniel Boone's siblings -- Samuel Boone who married Sarah Day, and Mary Boone who married William Bryan. Anyway, Daniel Boone's parents were Squire Boone and Sarah Morgan, both Quakers. 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. 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'll do what I can to begin to answer ....but the truth is that most of us are beginners at these questions. So keep asking. You are right. North Carolina has a rich Quaker heritage. 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.

Daniel Boone and Rebecca Bryan had a son named: Israel BOONE b 25-Jan-1759 d 19-Aug-1782 Killed in the Battle of Blue Licks,KY He was 23 yrs, 6 ms, 25 ds. He was killed at the battle of Blue Licks in KY. Abram Scholl, a soldier who took part in the battle and witnessed Israel's death, left a brief account of it. He said that Isarel, who was young and active could easily have made his escape, but remained to protect his father, firing at the Indians to cover his father's retreat. While thus engaged he received the fatal shot in the breast which caused his death.
