JONATHAN BOONE (Squire; Squire; Georges), born 30 Aug., 1766; died 9 March, 1837.
Married 11 April, 1793, Mrs. Catherine (Rice) Fullenwider (b. 9 Dec., 1768; d. 19 Jan., 1842, aged 73 years, 1 month, 10 days). (a)
Jonathan, the eldest son of Squire, Jr., and Jane (Van Cleve) Boone, was born "on Saturday, about 10 o'clock in the morning," in the Forks of the Yadkin River, N. C. In 1775 or '76, when Squire Boone's family moved to Fort Boonesborough from N. C., Jonathan, then a boy of about nine, was brought along. As a small boy, he was present at the Siege of Boonesborough, and in the spring of 1779, went with the family in their move to the Falls of the Ohio (Louisville). In that same year he was taken by his father to Kaskaskia (Illinois), where he was left to learn the French language. Here he remained four years.
About four years after his return from Kaskaskia, which would be in 1787, he was sent to Berks County, Pa., to stay with relatives and attend school. Here his father's cousin, James Boone, gave him instructions. When he returned home to Kentucky, the next year, he brought with him the "Boone Genealogy" written by James Boone and dated 21 March, 1788. (b)
After this there is no further record of him until his marriage in 1793, to Mrs. Catherine (Rice) Fullenwider, who was a daughter of Jacob I. and Anne Rice. Her first husband, Henry Fullenwider, died of malaria, leaving her with several children. The marriage of Jonathan and Mrs. Fullenwider took place while his father was away on his trip to St. Simon's, Fla., and his visit into Pa. For a while they lived at Rice's Fort, Shelby County; then moved to Brandenburg, Ky., (c) from which place they eventually moved to Crawford County, Ind. (possibly to Alton or near there), where he died in 1837.
Jonathan Boone was a man who loved a life of adventure and was clever in many ways, besides being a fine hunter. "One of his descendants has a book which he wrote, quite a wonderful piece of workmanship, binding and all most remarkable, made entirely by him, written in a fine style of penmanship, and exhibiting much scientific knowledge, and for that day and age (more than a hundred years ago) is marvelous. The binding is bear-skin; the leaves are very thick and fastened to the cover with leather strings; the book measures 16 x 10 x 1 inch, and on the first page are the words, "Jonathan Boone, his book, A. D. 1787." The subject is surveying; there are no family records in the book. It has been handed down to the oldest grandchild of the Boone name and is now (1910) owned by Charles Boone of Texas (Brandon), and will pass to his baby, little Daniel Boone." (d)

Judge Moses Boone, the second child of Squire and Jane (VanCleve) Boone, was born "on Tuesday, about 6 o'clock in the morning" (b) in Rowan County, N. C., near the Forks of the Yadkin, and not far from Bear Creek. He was taken as a child with his family when they moved to Kentucky in 1775 or 1776, and was with them in their subsequent mov-ings about. He himself related that in making this move to Kentucky, once when they were going down into a stream which they had to cross, he fell off his horse into the water. As he remembered it, Daniel Boone's family and others were in the party.
At the time of the Siege of Boonesborough he was a small lad about nine, but seemed to remember a great deal about it. In Draper Mss. 19 C 1-56, which is an interview Dr. Lyman C. Draper had with him in 1846, he gives quite a detailed account of this siege. One very amusing incident which he relates in this connection is given here. During the first alarm and scuffle, which followed the council with the Indians, a "Dutchman" named Matthias Prock, who probably lived with Colonel Callaway's family, ran and hid under the bed at Colonel Callaway's. Mrs. Callaway took the broom stick and punched him out, telling him to go and fight. Prock, routed out from this secure (?) hiding place, ran into Squire Boone's gun-smith shop, which adjoined, and hid under the bellows. From this hiding place Mrs. Callaway drove him out also. Then he ran out and jumped into a new well which was being dug somewhere near the old one, and on which he himself had probably been working. He kept exclaiming, "Sure, I was not made to fight, I ish a potter."
At the time of the abandonment of Squire Boone's Station in 1781,
Moses and his father, Squire Boone, who was still weak from severe wounds received in a fight with Indians, were the only men folks left to
protect their family and Mrs. Hinton's in case of attack by Indians. (For a more detailed account of this abandonment of the Station, see the sketch of Squire Boone, brother of Daniel, No. 29.)
When John Callaway returned from Indian captivity about 1785, Moses Boone accompanied him from Squire Boone's Station to Boones-borough, where his (Callaway's) mother lived. (c)
In Clark's campaign of 1786, he was in a Company of lighthorse under Major Acquilla Whittaker. He himself gave to Dr. Draper the following account of the capture of Vincennes by General George Rogers Clark. (b)
They crossed the river at Clarkville, getting within three miles of Vincennes and making camp without being discovered. From here Clark
sent Major Daniel Sullivan, with a party of about twenty, on ahead to
Vincennes. They went in at night and captured some dozen or fifteen Indians who were loitering about. The next morning when Clark ap-
proached town all the leading French went out to meet him. The In-
dians captured the night before were examined and dismissed, hastening off to give warning of Clark's coming. After this Clark crossed the Wa-
bash River at Vincennes, and went up the river some two days march. Here the Lincoln men called "Loganites" revolted, and after holding a general council it was decided, as provisions, which were sent up by boat, were nearly gone, to go no further. Following this decision they did return home, but with no regularity.
In the spring of 1787, a party of Indians came into the settlements near Whittaker's and Wells' Stations, evidently to steal horses and har-
ness. Major Acquilla Whittaker raised a company of eight or ten men,
Moses Boone among them, and followed. They overtook the Indians in a "beech bottom on the waters of Floyd's Fork," where they had stopped
to cook. The men singled out Indians to pursue. Moses Boone was
chasing one, who "treed" when he found he was about to be overtaken. Boone jumped from his horse and also "treed," both watching for a
chance to get a shot at the other. Finally Boone saw his chance, shot and broke his Indian's arm, and a moment or two later Nathan Garret, another member of the pursuing party, succeeded in getting a shot which killed the Indian.In the fall of 1787, Joseph Carman, Vincent Robbins, and Aaron VanCleve started off to hunt buffalo. When west of Drennon's Lick
they were attacked by Indians. Carman was captured, but Robbins and
VanCleve escaped. As soon as they reached the settlements on Bullskin and Brashear Creeks, a party under the leadership of Robbins was raised,
one of the men being Moses Boone. This party followed the Indians and found Carman's body "shockingly mutilated," it being dismembered. They gathered it together and took it back to Wells' Station, his home, for burial. (c)
On Sunday, the 23d of May, 1790, Moses Boone, John Kline, Matthew Smock, Captain James and Henry Hoagland (Kline and the Hoag-lands having guns), and Miss Betsy VanCleve(about 20 years old) were attacked as they returned from church near Boone's old Station on Brashear's Creek, when about one and one half miles from the meeting and in sight of a settlement. The attacking party consisted of six or seven Indians who had hidden behind logs. The Indians fired on them from about 30 paces distance without injuring any of the party, but the horses were frightened and threw Boone, Smock, and Miss VanCleve. The others tried to keep the Indians at bay, but were uusuccessful, and themselves had to retreat. All escaped with the exception of Miss Van-Cleve and Kline, who was shot. Smock was of heavy, clumsy build and a poor hand in an emergency or he might have helped Miss VanCleve on her horse, as he was near her, and enabled her to escape. However, he did nothing but get himself off safely. Miss VanCleve was captured, and a few minutes later another party returning from the same church found her body, tomahawked and scalped. Life was not extinct when she was found, but she died very soon after. She was a daughter of Ralph (or Rutliff) VanCleve, a brother of Mrs. Jane (VanCleve) Boone, and so was a cousin of Moses Boone. (b)
On the 20th of December, 1786, on Brashear's Creek in Jefferson County, Kentucky, Moses Boone was married to his cousin, Hannah Boone, daughter of Samuel and Jane (Hughes) Boone.
He went with his father to settle in Indiana about 1805. In 1808, he was appointed a Judge of Harrison County, Indiana Territory, by Governor William Henry Harrison, and re-appointed by Governor Thomas Posey. He was also one of the three commissioners who directed the building of the first State House in Indiana, which is still standing in Corydon, Ind.
In 1846, he was living near Manhattan, Putnam County, Indiana, and it was probably here he died in 1852.

. ISAIAH BOONE (Squires; Squire4; Georges), born 17 Nov., 1772 Married - - (name of wife unknown).
Isaiah Boone, third child of Squire, Jr., and Jane (VanCleve) Boone, was born "on Friday, about 4 o'clock in the morning," in the Forks
of the Yadkin, not far from Salisbury, N. C.
As a very small boy, he was taken to Kentucky, when his parents
moved there about 1775 or '76, and was at the famous Siege of Boones-borough. He went with his parents in their various moves, and was
with them when they settled Boone's Station.
When it was decided to abandon Boone's Station in 1781, he, being
a boy about nine years old, was put in the care of Captain Hall, as his
father remained at the Station.
On this first day (14th September, 1781), after leaving the fort they
had a fight with the Indians which Judge Moses Boone, an older brother of Isaiah, designates as Boone's Defeat. Beginning at the "13 mile tree," which was eight miles from Linn's Station and about twenty-one from Squire Boone's, and extending to the "14 mile tree", the Indians were lying in wait for them. About half way between these two "trees" was a stream called Long Run, which will be mentioned a little later.
When attacked the men held the Indians in check long enough to cut the packs from the horses, and mount the women and children so that they might have a better chance to escape. For a mile the packs
were scattered along the way.
In the beginning of the fight, Isaiah Boone who was riding one of
the pack horses dismounted and retreated with the others, quite likely taking a man's part in the flight, for children in those clays learned at a very early age to use a gun and help in defense. At the crossing of Long Run, Isaiah was keeping an Indian in check, although he had gotten his gun wet in crossing and it would not go off. A man by the name of George Yunt came to his aid, shooting the Indian and saying to Boone, "Now you dog, throw away your gun and clear yourself." Isaiah hated to lose his gun, but obediently threw it down and ran. While running he took off his shot pouch, which was a fine one, and was holding it in his teeth by a strap while he stripped off his coat. Dropping it accidentally he did not have time to stop to pick it up. Soon after he was put on a horse, and while using his three cornered hat, sent him by his brother Jonathan from Kaskaskia, dropped and lost that too. The loss of these three valued possessions was probably more serious to the boy than the actual danger he had been through. In this fight several were killed: a grown daughter of old Mr. Hansbury; Mrs. John VanCleve, a sister-in-law of Squire Boone's wife, with two of her small children; and two or three children of Mrs. Holt, a widow. Rachael VanCleve (about 18) and one of her little sisters, daughters of John VanCleve, were taken prisoner but later were rescued unharmed. The night following this fight the Indians camped on the east bank of Long Run.
Floyd's Fork is about two miles from Long Run, and the battle which took place here on the following day (15 Sept.) is called Floyd's Defeat. In this fight about nine were killed. As they were trying to escape across this stream Isaiah was but a few feet from Captain Hall, who saved his life by shooting the Indian who was reaching for Isaiah.
(For further details of these two fights see the sketch of Squire Boone, brother of Daniel.)
In 1787, he started with his father to make a settlement at Chickasaw Bluffs, but finding it unsafe they went on down to New Orleans where they took Spanish protection and set up a gun-smith shop. Here they remained three years, Isaiah coming home some ahead of his father, but how is not known, though it was probably by boat up the Mississippi.
In 1794, he and his brother, Enoch, both went on Wayne's Campaign, in Bland Ballard's Company, Isaiah as a sergeant. They both took part in the fight, being in the left wing, but they did not get into so much of the battle as some of the others, only about one-third of the company getting to fire off their guns.
The time of his marriage, the name of his wife, and the time and place of his death are all unknown.
In the fall of 1846 he was living near Mauckport, Indiana, so he died subsequent to that time.

SARAH BOONE (Squires; Squire; Georges), born 26 Sept., 1774; died 1847. (a)
Married 1 March, 1790 or '91, John Wilcox (born 6 Sept., 1766).
Sarah Boone, fourth child and only daughter of Squire, Jr., and Jane (VanCleve) Boone, was born "on Monday about 4 o'clock in the morning," (b) in the Forks of the Yadkin, N. C. As a child she moved to Ky. with her parents, and saw much of pioneer life. At the time of the Siege of Boonesborough she was only about four years old. When her parents moved to Louisville in 1779, she was then only about five. It is supposed that she went with them in all their various movings about. In 1790, when her father and mother went to St. Simon's, Fla., for his health, Sarah and her three older brothers were left behind with relatives or friends, Jonathan, the eldest, at this time being in Kaskaskia, Illinois.
In 1790 or '91, when only a little over 15 or 16, she was married (c) in Jefferson Co., Ky., to John Wilcox, said to be a connection of the John Wilcox who married Daniel Boone's sister Sarah. "They settled upon, surveyed and improved lands, patented in the name of Sarah Boone by her father, Squire Boone, four miles north of Shelbyville, Shelby County, Ky." (d)
John Wilcox died in Ky., after which his wife and children moved to Boone Co., Mo., where it is probable she died and was buried.

. ENOCH MORGAN BOONE (Squires; Squire; Georges), born 16 Oct., 1777, died 8 Mar., 1862 (a) (or 8 Feb., 1862, according to Collins' History of Kentucky).
Married, 8 Feb., 1797, Eliza (Lucy?) Goldman (b. 1775; d. 1855). (a) Enoch Morgan Boone, (b) the fifth and youngest child of Squire and Jane (VanCleve) Boone, was born "on Tuesday, about ten o'clock in the
afternoon (?)," "in a canebrake" (c) at Fort Boonesborough, Ky. His parents, and especially his mother, claimed that he was the first white male child born in Boonesborough. At least two white female children were born there before he was,-Elizabeth Hays, and a Miss Finley, who was living at Crab Orchard in 1795. (b)
He was brought up to know no other life than the dangerous and hard one of the frontiersman, moving about with his parents from place to place, and being present at many Indian fights and sieges.
When his father and mother went to Florida in May, 1790, for Squire's health, Enoch was the only one of the five children taken along. He
was then a lad of only 13. They started out in a wagon, with three horses
and $200.00, travelled down through Crab Orchard and Cumberland Gap to the Yadkin (S. C.), where they stopped for a while with the Bryan,
Wilcox, David and George Webb families, all relatives. Here they laid
in a year's supply of provisions before proceeding on their way, which led them down through South Carolina, Georgia, and on to the mouth
of the Altamaha. From here they went to St. Simon's Island, where they bought a lot in a little village called Frederika, and stayed about six months. Then they went higher up on the island where they bought four acres of land, on which was a small shanty. They built a new house, and made fine wages teaming and hauling rice and cotton for their neighbors. Here they lived for two years very comfortably-having plenty of sea fish, oysters, oranges and other foods.
At the end of two years, or in the summer of 1792, Squire Boone's wounds began to trouble him again, so they sold off all their holdings,-
"property, team, cow, goats and other stock," (b) and sailed for Philadelphia. From there they went out into Berks County to visit friends and relatives.
That fall (1792) Enoch started back to Kentucky alone. At Reading he met Ben Applegate and his family, who had a team and were also
starting to Kentucky. Enoch joined them and helped Applegate drive
the team to Pittsburgh. From there they went on a boat down the Ohio River to Limestone (Maysville), and Boone proved to be a better
boatman than Applegate. They made this trip in about six days without
seeing any Indians. Enoch stopped for a while at Point Pleasant with his uncle, Daniel Boone, from whom he obtained some bear meat. From
there he went for a while to Jacob Boone's, at Limestone, where he was treated very kindly, and then on to Cincinnati. From Cincinnati he went down to the mouth of the Kentucky River, and then across the country to Shelby County. Remember, at this time he was only between fifteen and sixteen years old.
He became a soldier before he was seventeen, and in 1794 was on Wayne's campaign under Bland Ballard, who, when Boone offered to go with him, agreed to take care of him, and did so as carefully as if he were Enoch's father. From this time on Enoch took part in many Indian fights.
In 1797, in Shelby County, Ky., he was married to Eliza Goldman, who may have borne the name Lucy also. Her descendants call her Eliza, while historians call her Lucy. Collins' "History of Kentucky," page 600, says, "He was married in Shelby County, Ky., 8 Feb., 1798 to Lucy Galman."
In 1798 he rented Wells' Station, of which he had gotten possession probably about the time of his marriage, to Joseph Bryan, the father-in-law of Daniel Boone, his uncle.
He moved to Indiana at the same time his father did (1804-'05), and we find that from 1808-1816 he lived in Grassy Valley, Harrison County, Indiana (then Indiana Territory), and held a Captain's commission from General William Henry Harrison, who was then Governor (c), which commission he received in 1805. (b)
From 1810-1827 he engaged largely in boating down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.
At some subsequent date he moved back to Kentucky, to Meade County, for on Mar. 10, 1829, his mother died at his home "at the mouth of Otter Creek, Kentucky." (b)
"On his wedding anniversary, 8 Feb., 1862" (c) he died aged 84, at the home of his son-in-law, Judge Collins Fitch, on the Ohio River, near Garnettsville, Meade County, Ky.
He was a tall, spare man, nearly six feet in height; and a Baptist. All of his children with the exception of Jane Boone Fitch died prior to Aug. 1858.
