Henry Harrison "Bud" Boone was born 15 February 1840 Ohio and died at age 79 on 6 June 1919. He was married 28 September 1865 to Nancy Jane Tucker, born 27 February 1848 Ohio and who died 14 September 1915 Ohio, daughter of John Tucker (born 15 October 1824, died 16 June 1913) and Martha Ann Cooper (born 16 February 1830). Nancy died 15 July 1885). (Both John Tucker and Martha Ann Cooper are buried Boone Cemetery.)

Henry entered the Civil War 1 July 1863 Maysville, Kentucky, at age 23, in Company A, 4th Volunteer Infantry, General Burbridge's Con. Div. until discharge 31 December 1864 at Catlettsburg, Kentucky.

Bud and Nancy were members of Enon Church near Evertonville having joined 11 March 1866. A large, framed picture of Bud and Nancy hangs on the living room wall of Mrs. Lucille Boone on Ginger Ridge Road, Adams Co., Ohio. Bud and Nancy are buried Boone Cemetery, Ginger Ridge Road. Boone Cemetery is commonly called "Uncle Bud's Cemetery" since Bud donated the land for the cemetery.

Bud had a reputation of being lazy and watching his pennies. His son-in-law, Thomas Isaac Mitchell, received gold coins every pay day. Bud traded his paper money for the gold coins and then held on tight to them, occasionally laying them out and just looking at them.

Henry Harrison’s brother, Jacob, served in the same unit. The Union’s 40th Regiment, Kentucky Infantry was organized at Grayson and Falmouth, Ky., (Falmouth is 38 miles from Maysville) on July 30, 1863. It was attached to District of North Central Kentucky, 1st Division, 23rd Army Corps, Dept. of Ohio, to April, 1864. 1st Brigade, 2nd Division, District of Kentucky, 5th Division, 23rd Army Corps, Dept. of Ohio, to July, 1864. 1st Brigade, 1st Division, District of Kentucky, to December, 1864.
