View Tree for Squire BooneSquire Boone (b. November 25, 1696, d. January 02, 1765)

Squire Boone (son of George Boone III and Mary Maugridge) was born November 25, 1696 in Devonshire, England, and died January 02, 1765 in Roan County, North Carolina. He married Sarah Morgan on September 23, 1720 in Berks County, Pennsylvania, daughter of Edward Morgan.

 Includes NotesNotes for Squire Boone:
Son of George Boone III. Buried in Moaksville, North Carolina

In time, because of friction over the strictness of the Quakers and exhaustion of the land, Squire decided to move his family, and they reached the Yadkin Valley of North Carolina not earlier than late autumn of 1751.*
He bought property overlooking the Yadkin Valley in what was then Rowen (now Davidson) County. We have no record of whether any of Squire's brothers moved to North Carolina also, but it is known that his parents and two brothers and one sister died in Pennsylvania.

Near Squire Boone's farm lived the family of Joseph Bryan. Squire's daughter, Mary, married William Bryan, Joseph's brother, about 1755. At their wedding, Daniel Boone met Joseph's daughter, Rebecca, then fifteen, and they were married on August 14, 1756. The Boone and Bryan families were never after separated. (Another brother, Edward Boone, married Martha Bryan, Rebecca's sister.) Both families were represented in Daniel Boone's first disastrous attempt to settle Kentucky in 1773. Both familes actually did settle in Kentucky afterwards.

On the second attempt to settle Kentucky, Daniel established Boonesborough, and the Bryan's who had returned to Yadkin after the first attempt, rejoined him and established Bryan's Station a few miles north of there. Rebecca Boone had returned to Bryan kin while Daniel was a prisoner of the Shawnees and had lived in a cabin near William and Mary Bryan.

The Bryan family were mostly Tories. We know that William Bryan served in the revolution, but it is not known (to the writer) on which side. One of his relatives, a Samuel Bryan, was killed fighting for the King. It is thought that Morgan Bryan was William's father


*Some of the Boone family preceded Squire to North Carolina. The will of James Boone in 1733 who describes himself as being sick and weak of body, in which he bequeaths property to some grandchildren. He could have been a brother of George Boone III, this will was made in North Carolina.
