JACOBI BOONE, born in Berks Co., Pa., 15 Aug., 1754; died at Maysville, Ky., 4 May, 1827, in his 73rd year. (Draper Mss. 1S 33, 34, 40, 44.) Married Mary DeHart (b. 10 Oct., 1753; d. 30 July, 1828).
It was stated by Jacob Boone's daughter Mrs. Nicholson, in 1858, that her father was a son of Joseph Boone. (Draper Mss. 1S 33.) He is referred to by historians as a cousin or "favorite cousin" of Daniel Boone, with whom he was closely associated in Kentucky. Naturally we might infer that he was therefore a son of Daniel's uncle Joseph Boone (No. 6), son of George Boone III, but this seems highly improbable because of the discrepancy in their ages, the first Joseph Boone having been born in 1704 (see page 24). Jacob Boone was more probably the son of a Joseph Boone of Berks Co., Pa., who died prior to 1779,* leaving a widow and several children, several of whom were minors at the time. In the records of the Orphan's Court of Berks Co., Pa., are found entries to the following effect:-
"Orphan's Court, May 7, 1783. Petition of Jacob Boone, eldest son and heir at law of Joseph Boone of Exeter, yeoman, deceased; that his father lately died intestate, leaving a widow (Elizabeth) and ten children, to wit,: the petitioner, Joseph Boone, Thomas, Ovid, Abner, Johab, Ann, Catherine, Sarah, and Hannah, several of whom are yet in their minority."
The widow, Elizabeth, had previously filed petition in May, 1779, regarding the estate of her deceased husband Joseph Boone, and again in 1783 she petitioned court for a guardian to be appointed for her children, three of whom were under fourteen at that time. (a)If Jacob Boone of Maysville, Ky., was a son of the above Joseph Boone who died prior to 1779, it is quite possible that he was the son of an earlier marriage of Joseph, and not of the wife Elizabeth who had young children in 1783, at which time our subject Jacob Boone was twenty-nine years old and had a wife and children. The Quaker records of Beirks Co., Pa., reveal the fact that a Joseph Boone, Jr. was called to account in 1751 for having married contrary to regulations. This might have been a first marriage of the above Joseph Boone, his second marriage being to Elizabeth who was mother of the minor children at his death. It at least seems reasonable to suppose that the Joseph Boone whose estate was settled in Orphan's Court was a son of Joseph Boone, son of George Boone III, but lacking the will of the first Joseph, or any record of his children upon which to hang this supposition. it is impossible to state definitely that this was the case. Nor is it possible to say positively that Jacob Boone of Maysville, Ky., was the one who filed the petition in the Orphan's Court in Pennsylvania, although it seems most probable, *The estate of one Joseph Boone was administered to a widow Elizabeth Boone, May 10, 177e.-Berks County, Pa. Wills.
especially as the brothers who accompanied him to Kentucky were named Thomas and Ovid.
Jacob Boone lived in Pennsylvania until 1785, when he removed with his family to Kentucky. Sometime prior to that time Daniel Boone had visited Berks County and had induced Jacob and his brothers Ovid and Thomas to go to Kentucky. Accordingly in the fall of 1785, the three brothers, having sold their farms, started with their families to the new country where Daniel Boone was already so much at home. On the Monongahela River, at the mouth of the Sewickly, they wintered and built a boat, in which they embarked in the spring of 1786 and descended the Ohio River unmolested to the site of Limestone, Ky., where they arrived the eleventh of May, 1786. (Draper Mss. 1 S 33, 34, 40, 44, a statement of Mrs. Annah Nicholson.)After reaching Kentucky, Jacob Boone and his brothers helped Daniel Boone lay out the town of Limestone (now Maysville) on the Ohio River. (b) and (c) The place was used as a trading post for parties going up and down the river, and also later as a starting point for journeys by boat to Missouri. For a time Daniel Boone carried on a little business of flat-boat hauling from this point.
From Maysville, then called Limestone, Ovid Boone, brother of Jacob, went on into Bourbon County, Ky., and Thomas, the other brother, eventually settled in Ohio, where he died at Round Bottom, a few miles above Cincinnati. (Draper Mss. 1 S.) Jacob Boone, however, continued to live at Maysville until his death, evidently not sharing the roving spirit of his kinsmen. He built a house on Front Street, now known as Limestone Street, which was still standing in 1921. In this house he and his wife lived until his death. He often went out on scouting trips, and was a quarter-master of militia, furnishing grain for St. Clair's and Wayne's troops. He kept a tavern and ferry at Maysville.
After his death, his widow went to live with her daughter and son-in-law, Ann and Capt. F. Nicholson, at whose house in Maysville she died. Quaint old funeral invitations of Jacob Boone and his wife are preserved among the family heirlooms.
