John married Elizabeth Boone in 1770 in Rowan Co., NC. Elizabeth (daughter of Israel Boone and Martha Boone) was born on 28 Nov 1752 in Yadkin, Rowan Co., NC; died in 1817 in Fayette Co. , KY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

When Rebecca Bryan Boone married Daniel Boone there was no honeymoon.
She immediatley became the mistress of a household that included the young children of Daniel's brother Isreal, who had died two months earlier. Isreal's wife had predeceased him, both victims of consumtion, or tuberculosis. The children lived in the household of Daniel's parents and had grown close to their Uncle Daniel. The children lived with Rebecca & Daniel until they left North Carolina for Kentucky in 1773 a total of some seventeen years. So Elizabeth know her Uncle Daniel more as a father than a uncle.

Israel married Martha Boone in 1747. Martha was born in 1725; died in 1756 in Prob. Joppa Cem. Near Mockville, Rowan Co., NC. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Isreal Boone's wife had predeceased him, both victims of consumption, or tuberculosis. With his four children , he had lived in the household of his parents, in his last months and his children had grown close to Uncle Daniel. In August of 1755 Sarah Morgan Boone (his mother) appeared with Isreal at the Moravian colony, twenty-five miles northeast of the Fork of the Yadkin at Salem, appealing for treatment from the resident doctor. There Isreal remanied, hospitalized for several weeks, and when he left, the record noted that there was "small hope of recovery." The children however continued to live with Rebecca & Daniel in North Carolina until the family left for Kentucky in 1773, some seventeen years. Elizabeth Boone, Isreal's daughter (our great-grand mother) grew up more as a daughter of Rebecca & Daniel, then aunt & uncle.
