About Jonathan Morgan Boone
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/8117791/jonathan-boone
Lived in North Carolina and Kentucky and later went to Illinois, and built a mill near New Haven, Illinois in 1800.
A monument to Jonathan Boone is on the site to his Mill at New Haven, Illinois in Gallatin County. He was dedicated on July 11,1971. After his death, his son Joseph took over the Mill.
In an excerpt from a letter to Lyman Draper in Aug 1858 by Enoch M. Boone (son of Squire Boone Jr. & a nephew of Daniel Boone):
“Jonathan BOONE – came early to Kentucky – remembers him at Squire Boone’s Station as early as 1783, and tended Squire Boone’s Mill. After a few years settled on Green River and after living there several years then settled at the Big Falls of the Wabash (near Mt. Carmel, Wabash Co) on the Illinois side, not more than 15 miles if that, above the mouth of the Wabash where he built a mill. There he died about 1808 – don’t know where his wife died, or how old he was. Left several daughters … and three sons, John, Joseph and Daniel.”
Jonathan Boone lived in North Carolina and Kentucky and later went to Illinois, and built a mill in New Haven, Gallatin County, Illinois in 1800. A monument to Jonathan Boone is on the site of this mill was dedicated on July 11,1971. It reads:
Jonathon Boone, an older brother of the famous Pathfinder Daniel Boone, built a mill on this site about 1800. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1730 and died here about 1808. His son Joseph continued to operate the mill. In 1813 Joseph was named to mark out a road from Burnt Prairie to Shawneetown by way of his mill. On August 24, 1814, he purchased the millsite from the Federal Land Office at Shawneetown. The mill was used as a landmark by the State Legislature in describing the boundary line separating White from Gallatin County. Joseph sold the land in 1818. He died in Mississippi in 1827.
Years ago Lucille Lawler, Gallatin County's veteran historian, told the story of Boone's Fort, which later became known as New Haven. The following is gathered from her research.
Daniel Boone's brother, Jonathan, and son, Joseph, arrived in the unsettled forested area of Southern Illinois, making their way here from Barren County, Ky. They were looking for a mill site and selected a spot on the Little Wabash where they installed mill stones and encircled the area with a stockade for protection from Indians. This enclosure was large enough to hold several families.
The land office at Shawneetown did not open until about 1814; before that, any families were considered squatters.
Jonathan Boone was born in Pennsylvania in 1730 and died in the New Haven area in 1808. When the Boones came to this area their neighbors, the Dagleys, accompanied them. Thomas Dagley was born in 1755 in Ireland (Our library has a book on the family history of this man which tells of his service in the Revolution.) Mr. Dagley came to Boone's Fort with five children in the early 1800s. One child, Sarah, later married Joseph Boone. Thomas Dagley eventually bought land in White County in an area which was later known as Union Ridge.
The Jonathan Boone cabin stood for more than 130 years near the river in New Haven. Daniel Boone came to visit and stayed a while with his brother. The Dagleys reported that in 1818, Daniel Boone slept in their home.
According to Mrs. Lawler, Boone's Mill was named in 1813 to mark out a road from Burnt Prairie to Shawneetown.The State Legislature used the mill as a landmark in describing the boundary line separating White and Gallatin Counties saying, "beginning in the eye of the millstone in Boone's Mill in New Haven."
Joseph Boone and wife, Sally Dagley Boone, kept a trading post at the early settlement. In 1818, the Boones sold out their mill, plus the land and town site. Joseph and Sally Boone moved to Arkansas Territory. There are many known Dagley descendants in White County and, no doubt, also many Boone descendants in the area today.
