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.

From the Boone Family by Mayfield-She was tall, robust with black hair and black eyes"with a Welsh snap in them. She was the daughter of Edward Morgan at Gwyneth meeting house and is believed to be the Aunt of the Revolutionary War Hero General Daniel Morgan. General Morgan was commander of Morgan's Riflemen at Sara toga, New York noted for accuracy and the capturing of the British Army under General Burgoyne. From Boone Families In Davie Co. North Carolina; After Squire Boone died in 1765 , Sarah Morgan Boone made her home with Mary and William Bryan until she died in 1777. Sarah was her daughter. From Soelle"s diary (he was a traveling preacher) At William Bryant's he saw "old mother Boone" who was a Quaker.
Because of Indian raids in the Yadkin River Valley, Squire, Sarah and family retreated for a time to Georgetown D.C. and to Maryland. About this time Sarah took her youngest son, Squire by horseback,only stopping to camp at night, home to Pennsylvania to visit family. She returned home without her son, Squire whom she left in Pennsylvania as an apprentice to his cousin Samuel Boone to learn the gunsmith trade. (This knowledge served Daniel Boone well in later years since Squire Jr. could make the guns they needed for protection and to shoot game for food.
