3rd Generation

“GEORGE BOONE III. (son of George and Sarah Boone) was born at Stoak (a Village near the City of Exeter) in A.D. 1666, being a Weaver; his Wife’s Maiden Name was Mary Maugridge, who was born in Bradninch (eight Miles from the City of Exeter) in the Year 1669, being a Daughter of John Maugridge & Mary his Wife whose maiden Name was Milton.

They (the said George & Mary Boone) had nine Children that lived to be Men and Women: namely, George, Sarah, Squire, Mary, John, Joseph, Benjamin, James & Samuel, having each of them several Children, excepting John who was never married. (A daughter named Mary died in infancy, so they named a later daughter Mary also.) The said George and Mary Boone with their Family, came from the Town of Bradninch in Devonshire, Old-England (which is a Town at 8 miles Distance from the City of Exeter, and 177 measured Miles Westward from London); they left Bradninch the 17 Aug. 1717, and went to Bristol where they took Shipping, and arrived at Philadelphia in 1717 September 29, Old-Stile, or October 10th New-Stile; three of their Children, to wit, George, Sarah & Squire they sent in a few Years before. From Philadelphia they went to Abington, and staid a few Months there; thence to North-Wales and liv’d about 2 Years there; thence to Oley in the same County of Philadelphia, where Sarah (being married) had moved to some Time before. This last Place of their Residence (since the Divisions made in the Township of Oley & County of Philadelphia) is called the Township of Exeter in the County of Berks: It was called Exeter, because they came from a Place near the City of Exeter. And,

“He the said George Boone the Third, died on the Sixth Day of the Week, near 8 o’clock in the Morning, on the 27th of July 1744, aged 78 Years; and Mary his Wife died on the 2d Day of the Week, on the 2d of February 1740-1; aged 72 years; and were decently interred in Friends Burying-Ground, in the said Township of Exeter. When he died, he left 8 children, 52 Grand-Children, and 10 Great-Grand-Children, Living; in all 70, being as many Persons as the House of Jacob which came into Egypt.”

The Boone Society has the marriage record of George III & Mary Maugridge (note different spelling of “Moggridge” on original old English hand-written document below) performed at St. Disen’s Church in Bradninch:

Notes:

2nd Generation

“GEORGE BOONE II. (Son of George Boone, the First) was born in or near the City of Exeter in Devonshire; being a Blacksmith; his Wife’s Maiden Name was Sarah Uppey.
He died aged 60; and she died aged 80 years, and never had an aching Bone, or decay’d Tooth.”

The Boone Society has not been able to find the marriage or birth records for George Boone II and his wife, Sarah and cannot confirm her maiden name of Uppey. Because “Uppey” is used in the Old James Boone Genealogy, the Boone Society accepts it, and “Oppey/Opie are names also under consideration.

However, The Boone Society does have burial records for both George II and his widow (written “wido” in the old records) Sarah which are recorded at Stoke Canon Parish, Exeter, England. (The Church at Stoke Canon is St. Magdelene.) The original records are now located at the Devon Record Office in Exeter, England, and they read as follows:

Documents owned by the Boone Society:

George Boone was buried ye thirty first of May 1696 Sarah Boon “wido” was buried ye 5th of February 1708

Relying on the James Boone Genealogy that George II was age 60 at his death, then his approximate year of birth is calculated to be 1636; and Sarah, age 80 at her death, would have been born 1628.

Also, the Boone Society has Stoke Canon Parish baptism records for three children of George Boone II and wife Sarah: (1) Henry; (2) George III; & (3) John. Although they may have had other children, only records of three children have been found. These 3 records are:

Documents owned by the Boone Society:

(1) Henry Son of George Boone was baptized the nineteenth of October 1663 Henry Son of George Boone was buryed ye eighth of February 1663

(Note: Yes, the baptism and burial dates for Henry are correct! In the old style reckoning [Julian calendar], March 25 was the beginning of the year, therefore the infant Henry would have been about 4 months old at his burial.)

Documents owned by the Boone Society:

(2) George Son of George Boone was baptized the Nineteenth of March 1666

(3) John Son of George Boone was baptized the twentieth day of April 1673
John Boone was buryed the 18th day of April 1693

George married Sarah Uppey. Sarah was born in 1628 in Exeter, Devon, England; died in 1708 in Exeter, Devon, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

John married Mary Milton. Mary was born in Bradninch, Devonshire, England; died in Bradninch, Devonshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

1st Generation

“GEORGE BOONE I. (that is the first that we have heard of) was born in England.”

The Boone Society, the Devon Record Office, and other hired British genealogists have not been able to find a birth, marriage or death record for this George Boone of England.

Important: No source has ever been found for the name of Ann Fallace or her alleged connection to George Boone 1st or any George Boone. The Boone Society will refrain from using the Fallace name until it can be proven, and we suggest you do the same.
