"The Boone Family; a Genealogical History"
Hazel Atterbury Spraker
Rutland, VT, 1922
(Reprinted, Genealogical Publishing, Baltimore, MD. 1974)
p70: "Edward Boone (Squire; George), born 19 Nov. (O. S.), or 30 Nov. (N. S.), 1740, in Exeter
Township, Berks Co., Pa.; died 1780 in Ky. Married Martha Bryan (d. after 1793), daughter of
Joseph and Alee Bryan, and a sister of Rebecca Bryan, who married Daniel Boone. As a
small boy of about ten, Edward was taken with his parents in their migration from Pennsylvania,
to the Yadkin District of South Carolina, 1750-52, where it is very probable he was married, for
we know that the Bryan family lived in this same neighborhood, and it was here his brother
Daniel and Rebecca Bryan were married. It is thought too that his children were born in South
Carolina. It is not known certainly when he moved to Kentucky, but it is very probable that it was
in 1779, when Daniel Boone took out a large party, or perhaps even earlier. Of his life here,
nothing is known though several accounts of his death have been left by his nephews..."
p509-510: "Martha Bryan, m. Edward Boone (Squire; George), b. 19 Nov., 1740, in Exeter Township,
Berks Co.. Pa.; d. Oct., 1780, killed by Indians."
"The Jess M. Thompson Pike County History"
Thompson, Jess M.
Pittsfield, IL; Pike County Historical Society; 1967
Chapter 38: "Few of Boone's many losses and misfortunes seemed to affect him as did the loss of
this beloved brother, young Neddie Boone. Daniel and Neddie had married sisters, Rebecca and
Martha Bryan, daughter of Joseph and Alee Bryan, of the Yadkin country in North Carolina. Neddie
Boone was the ancestor of the Pike county Elledges and of many of the Scholls; numerous of the
Scholls also being descended directly from Daniel Boone, one of Abraham Scholl's brothers having
married a daughter of Daniel and another a daughter of Neddie."
