I am descended from John Boone, the cousin of DB and would love to receive
any of the information about him or his family. His daughter Sarah (m. John
Wilson, Jr) is the child from whom my line descends. It was Sarah's son,
Boone Wilson, who moved with other members of the family to
Boonshill...think his older brother Andrew Wilson, moved to Boonsville. I
am not sure how far apart the towns are. Anyway, I would appreciate any and
all information about this family.
Thanks,
Beth Sloan
