Notes

Document owned by the Boone Society:

(2.) 1692 Sarah ye daughter of George Boone baptized the 28th day of March
SARAH BOONE (Daughter of George & Mary Boone) was born on the Fifth Day of the Week, about 1⁄2 H. past 11 in the Forenoon, on the 18th of February 1691-2.”

Sarah Boone married Jacob Stover 15 March 1715 in Pennsylvania, Hazel Spraker, “The Boone Family,” p. 23.

No known children of Sarah Boone & Jacob Stover, explains Spraker, Sarah married Jacob Stover 15 Mar 1715, as recorded in Christ Church, Phila that she died quite young, and her descendants, if any, are unknown. While she was the first in the family to settle in in the Oley Township, she evidently did not affiliate with the Friends Meeting there, as no data concerning her appears in Quaker.

In 1738 a wife Margaret (Stover) signed a deed for land sold by Jacob to another person, so Margaret was probably a second wife.

(Some researchers believe there were children of this marriage, or at least of Stover’s second marriage.) Proof sources here would be welcomed.

We find that one Jacob Stauber was granted land, on Oley Creek, Philadelphia Co. (now Berks Co.), in 1714. (6) It is thought that Jacob removed to Virginia, probably after his wife's death, for we find in Virginia record of one Jacob Stover's sale of land in Augusta Co. (now Rockingham Co.), to George Boone of Oley; one tract of 500 acres and another of 1000 acres described as near the end of North Mountain, on a small branch of the Shenandoah, part of 5000 acres laid out for Stover by the Council of Virginia July, 1730. In 1738 a wife Margaret (Stover) signed a deed for land sold by Jacob to another person. Margaret was probably a second wife, (c)
