© ® (T), 2004-2008
Daniel was born to Squire Boone (November 25, 1696 - January
2, 1765) and Sarah Jarman Morgan (1700 - 1777) in Birdsboro,
Pennsylvania. His father was born to a family of Quakers
in Devonshire, England. Squire Boone immigrated to Pennsylvania
in early 1713 along with his older siblings George Boone
and Sarah Boone. The rest of the family joined them on September
19 (old style)/September 30 (new style), 1717. Squire settled
in Abington Township, Montgomery County, PA but then moved
to Lower Gwynedd Township, PA. There he met Sarah Morgan,
daughter to a family of Quakers from Wales. They married on
October 4, 1720. The couple eventually moved to Chalfont, Berks County, PA.
By 1730, they were able to purchase their own 250 acres (1
km˛) of land in Homestead, PA. Squire Boone and Sarah Morgan
had a total of twelve children, listed below.
Daniel received no formal education of any type, and
was trained as a farmer, blacksmith and weaver. On December 31, 1747, Israel Boone married Mary S. Wharton who was not a Quaker.
The marriage was allowed by Squire Boone himself. This was a scandal for the local Quaker community who called the Boones
to repentance. Squire continued to support the marriage. As a result the Quakers severed ties with the Boones in 1748, as
did the entire Boone Family with the Society of Friends, and converted to Roman Catholic. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Ancestry
History of Daniel Boone
Paternal:
Daniel is an eighth-generation descendant of Sir John de Bohun III
(born ca. 1433) and his wife Avelina
de Ros, daughter of Robert de
Ros, 1st Baron de Ros and Isabel D'Albini. He is a seventh-generation
descendant of
an elder Geoffrey Bohn (1450 - May 7, 1472) and his
wife Petrolina de Arderne. He is an sixth-generation descedant of
Geoffrey Bohn II (1471 - 1530) and Anne Magerly, daughter of Piers
Magerly. He is a fifth-generation descedant of
Gregory Bohun (1517-
1589) and Constance Comyn. Gregory was born in Gwynned and was
reportedly vassal to an Earl of
Devon. His paternal great-great-
grandparents were George Boone I (c. 1625 - 1701 and Ann
Fallace (c. 1615 - 1709).
Ann was daughter to a Walter Fallace.
George isa descedant of the Bohun family.
His paternal great-grandparents were
George Boone II
(November 17, 1646 - 1706) and Sarah Mary Uppey (c. 1640-
1720). George II was a blacksmith.
His
paternal grandparents were George Boone III (1666 - 1744) and
Mary Milton Maugridge (1669 - 1740). They were parents to
nine
children. George III was a weaver.
Maternal
His maternal great-great-grandfather
Edward Morgan, 2nd Baronet Of Llantarnam (a village in South
Wales), was son to William Morgan, 1st Baronet Of Llantarnam
and Lady Frances Somerset, a reported third daughter of Edward
Somerset, 4th Earl of Worcester and Elizabeth Hastings. His
maternal great-grandfather James Morgan, 4th Baronet Of Llantarnam,
was son to Edward Morgan, 2nd Baronet of Llantarnam (1562
- June 24, 1653) and Mary Dorothy Englefield, daughter of Sir Francis
Englefield, Bart., and Jane Browne. His maternal grandparents were
Edward Morgan and Elizabeth Jarman. Edward has been suspected as
a (probably illegitimate) son of Sir James Morgan, 4th Baronet Of Llantarnam.
Sir James is otherwise known to have died with no legitimate
male descedants. His title became forfeit following his death. Elizabeth
was daughter to John Jarman, a Welsh Quaker and early settler of
Pennsylvania.

The
Folklore of Daniel Boone
The many anecdotes of Boone folklore
are recorded:
His rifle was a Kentucky Long Rifle he named "Tick-Licker".
He wore a coonskin hat and buckskin clothes with fringed leather
trim.
History claims that Daniel hated the Coonskin hat that he wore.
He never admitted to being lost; however, he once reported that
he was
"confused for several weeks."
History claims Daniel Boone couldn't read nor could he write.
History also claims that Daniel "Boone" spelled his last name without the "e" on the
end of Boone, as being "BOON".
However proof exists that Daniel did sign his name as "Boone"
He was captured by the Chief Black Fish of the Shawnee, but escaped when he learned of a British and Indian plot to attack Fort Boonesborough. He rallied the settlers and successfully repelled a 10 day siege of Fort Boonesborough.
Folklore has it when he first met his wife Rebecca, he thought she was a deer in the dark woods, but couldn't shoot her because he never saw a deer with blue eyes before. He tracked her to her home and was smitten when he saw her. He continued to follow her around until she consented to marry him.
Daniel claimed he once killed a Yahoo, a hairy giant. The
publication of The Adventures of Colonel Daniel Boon* in
1784 by John Filson immortalized Boone the frontiersman as
an American legend and a true folk hero forever.
