Notes

Document owned by the Boone Society:

(6.) 1701 John ye son of George Boone baptized January ye 30th
He was a school teacher and it was he who preserved the family births and deaths and passed it on to his nephew James (son of James & Mary) who wrote the Old James Boone Genealogy, and quoted here:

Continuing with Old James Boone Genealogy:

“JOHN BOONE, Senior (Note: called “Senior” by James Boone, because James also had a son named John, called John, Junior.) John Boone Senior, (the third Son of George & Mary Boone) was born in the Town of Bradninch, in Devonshire in Old-England on the Seventh Day of the Week, about 10 or 11 o’clock in the Forenoon, on the 3 January 1701-2, Old-Stile, or A. D. 1702 January 14, New Stile. And he departed this Life on the 10th Day of October 1785, on the Second Day of the Week, Sixteen Minutes after Midnight, in the 84th Year of his Age (being the oldest of our Name & Family, that we have heard of ); and was decently interred in Friends Burial Ground at Exeter the next Day. He (with his Parents, etc.) left Great-Britain in the 16th Year of his Age, and lived exactly 68 years here (in North-America) from the Day he landed at Philadelphia. He lived only 5 Weeks and 4 Days after the Decease of his Brother James. N.B. All of our Relations of the Name of Boone, who were living after 1785 October 10, are American born, as far as we know.” (Hazel Spraker in her book, “Our Boone Family,” indicated John Boone never married.)

Sometime after 1701, but before 1717 when George III moved to America, the George Boone III family joined the Quakers at Cullompton, just outside of Exeter, (Devon, England) and thus baptism records for their remaining 4 children were not recorded. Their remaining 4 children were: Joseph, Benjamin, James & Samuel and their birth and death information is shown as recorded by James Boone. All were born in England.
