Notes for GEORGE BOONE IV:
George IV Boone was a Quaker. He began as a school teacher in Exter Township, Berks, Devon County, Pennsylvania. He became a professor in the First College of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Through his studies, he also became the secretary to William Penn.

William Penn gave Pennsylvania a written constitution which limited the power of government, provided a humane penal code, and guaranteed many fundamental liberties. Penn was the only person who made major contributions to liberty in both the New World and the Old World. Before he conceived the idea of Pennsylvania, he became the leading defender of religious toleration in England. He was imprisoned six times for speaking out courageously. While in prison, he wrote one pamphlet after another, which gave Quakers a literature and attacked intolerance. He alone proved capable of challenging oppressive government policies in court--one of his cases helped secure the right to trial by jury. Penn used his diplomatic skills and family connections to get large numbers of Quakers out of jail. He saved many from the gallows.

Notes for SQUIRE BOONE:
Father of Daniel Boone (see booneinfo.com for complete line).

Squire Boone was born probably in Bradnich, Devonshire, England on 25 November 1696. Squire Boone was small of stature, fair complextion, with red hair and blue-gray eyes. He had a broad Cornish accent and was notable for their clannishness. He came to America with his brother and sister George and Sarah prior to 1713. He inspected the region of the Oley Valley near where Reading, Pennsylvania now lies. It was still the wild edge of the frontier. He judged the area a splendid site for a new clan homeland and sent word to the remaining Boone relatives in Devonshire, many of whom soon settled nearby. The Boones were Quackers.

Squire Boone married Sarah Morgan at Gwynedd Meeting House on 13 July 1720. The first ten years of Squire Boone's married life were spent near Gwynedd. He practiced the same trades he did in the old country. He supplemented income from his blacksmith shop and a weaving business with subsistence farming, a job often handled by family women and children.

In 1730, Squire Boone bought 250 acres of forest and meadow in the upper Schuylkill Valley in Exeter Township, then Oley, Berks County, Pennsylvania. On his farm was an outcropping of rock with a spring welling up from it. There, on top of the rock, Squire Boone built a one room log cabin where he and his growing family eked out a living.

Squire and Sarah Morgan Boone had a number of children, Sarah Boone, Israel Boone, Samuel Boone, Jonathan Boone, Elizabeth Boone, Daniel Boone (the famous frontiersman), Mary Boone, George Boone, Edward Boone, Nathan Boone, Squire Boone, Jr., and Hannah Boone.

On 1 May 1750, Squire Boone and his family moved to a place near Winchester, Virginia. Then in 1753, they moved on to a farm on the Yadkin River in Davidson County, North Carolina.

Marriage Notes for SQUIRE BOONE and SARA MORGAN:
Two of the most interesting landmarks in the Schuylkill Valley are the birthplace of Daniel Boone and the old Quaker meeting house where he attended services, and where some of his family are buried in Exeter Township, in Berks County, Pennsylvania.

Only a portion of the old house in which the famous pioneer first saw the light is still standing, a larger structure having been built around it nearly 100 years ago, and efforts are being made by local historical societies to have the state purchase the property and restore the structure to its original condition.

The original building stands on part of the original tract of 250 acres which Squire Boone (Daniel's father) purchased in 1730 and not far from the spot where his grand�father, George Boone, settled upon his arrival from England in 1717. It is well removed from the beaten paths of travel, standing in a hollow which is screened in every direction by hills about a mile to the east of the Schuylkill River. The old house was constructed both as a home and a fort for pro�tection against the Indians. The walls were very thick and built with the largest stones as was possible to use, while the windows provided portholes through which muskets could be fired. The house was built over a rapidly flowing spring in order that there might be an abundance of water in the event of a siege.

When the Indians became troublesome, the settlers for miles around gathered in the Squire Boone home where the savages feared to attack them.

Daniel Boone was born here in this house on Aug. 22, 1734. He was the son of Squire and Sarah Morgan Boone. His grandfather, George Boone, and wife emigrated from Exeter, Devonshire, England in 1717. They were Friend Quakers and followed William Penn to the new world to escape from religious persecution and settled in what was then Philadelphia county, naming the region Exeter after his English home.

Children of SQUIRE BOONE and SARA MORGAN are:

91.	i.		SARAH²² BOONE, b. June 07, 1724, Pennsylvania; d. 1815, Madison, Kentucky.
	ii.		ISRAEL BOONE, b. May 20, 1726, Bucks, Pennsylvania.

Notes for ISRAEL BOONE:
Israel Boone the eldest son of Squire ans Sarah Boone, brother to Daniel Boone. Israel reached the age of majority in 1747 he married a German girl, her name was never discovered through years of research.
Israel, married the German girl out of the Friend Quaker church in 1747. This was against the church rules and Israel was disowned by the church, and in 1748, the father, Squire Boone, was also disowned for per�mitting the marriage. This church episode, it seems caused a dissatisfaction in the community. Israel in 1748, quit Pennsylvania and moved south, likely to lands his grandfather, George Boone, had purchased in 1718 at Boonesboro, twelve miles east of Hagerstown in Washington County, now District of Columbia. Israel Boone died at an early age of turberculosis. Israel's two daughters died from either consumption or turberculosis as did their parents. And Israel's brother Daniel Boone raised two of his sons.

Notes for EDWARD BOONE:
Edward Boone was born, probably in Exeter Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. on September 9, 1740. He moved with his parents to Winchester, Virginia in 1750 and then to a farm on the Yadkin River in Davidson County, North Carolina in 1753. He married Martha Bryan, sister of Rebecca Bryan who married Daniel Boone.

Edward and Martha Bryan Boone's son George Boone was born in North Carolina on 28 April 1767. Their son Joseph Boone was born probably in Surrey County, North Carolina in about 1768.

The Edward Boone family left North Carolina and arrived at Boone's Station, Kentucky on 22 December 1779 where the family made their home. Boone's Station was rather small being about one-half acre in size and was located near the present city of Athens, Kentucky.

Edward Boone had been in Kentucky less than a year when he was killed by Indians on 6 October 1780 while out hunting with his brother Daniel Boone, the famous frontiersman.

From Sarah Ridge Rockenfield's "Our Boone Families" -- page 453:

"Edward, Son of Squire Boone Sr. and Sarah Morgan Boone was born Nov 30, 1740 in Exeter Twp. Berks Co., PA. Married Martha Bryan, daughter of Joseph and Alee Bryan and a sister to Rebecca, Daniel Boone's wife. Edward moved with his parents to the Yadkin District in N. C. when he was about 10 years old. He married Martha in the Yadkin District and their children were all born there. He went to Kentucky with his brother, Daniel Boone. He and Daniel and several other men had gone to the Blue Licks Salt Licks to boil down salt. It took 680 galls of salt water to boil down a bushel of salt. It cost a $5 Continental bill to buy a bushel of salt. On their way back to Fort Boonesborough, they stopped to let the horses graze. Edward was cracking nuts with a stone and was killed by Indians (Shawnees) on Oct 6, 1780 in Clark Co.(Boonesborough), (near Blue Lick River) KY. Martha Bryan Boone was only in her 30's when Ned was killed and she did not remarry. She lived on Boone's Creek and died in 1793 in Fayette Co., KY. Edward was a Baptist preacher and loved to sing."

"The Pioneer and the Prairie Lawyer," Willard Mounts, Denver, 1991.
Edward Boone's death:

"Daniel and Edward Boone went hunting on Himkstone. Found a good grassy spot and stopped to let their horses graze. Edward Boone picked up some nuts and commenced cracking them on a stone in his lap and watching the horses while Daniel Boone said he would take a walk and come back by the time the horses were through picking; he had scarcely gone when several guns cracked and he saw two or three Indians after him. He darted off into the cane and was followed by a dog. Finally to evade him he stepped behind a tree and shot the dog as it approached. Indians came up and rolled over the dead dog, looked at it regretfully and departed. Col. Boone saw the indians but thought it wisest to remain quiet. Seven balls had been shot into Edward and he must have been killed instantly."

Story told by John Scholl - Son of Peter and Mary Boone Scholl.

Martha Bryan Boone's will said that Jane Boone Morgan(daughter of Edward Boone and Martha Bryan) and husband, Morgan Morgan were living a few miles East of Baton Rouge, LA . Martha Bryan Boone's will dated May 12, 1793.
