“I'm sending you an edit for Sarah Day on the bequest of Dorthy Mack, the official Boone genealogist of the Boone Society. She said that Sarah Day was born 31 May, 1731 in Isle of Wight Co, VA. Her father was Capt. James Day who was born abt. 17oo and he died at sea before June 11, 1747 which was the date that his will was probated. Sarah was named in his will and she was orphaned at the age of 11. Her mother died before that and Dorthy said she did not know who she was nor when it happened. Sarah was raised after that by her Uncle Thomas Day and his wife, Martha.”

Children of Samuel Boone and Sarah Day:

1. Elizabeth, born in 1752 in Rowan County, North Carolina; married William White in Camden, Kershaw, South Carolina in 1772; died 26 September 1832 in Madison, Kentucky As a young child, she and her parents and some of her siblings, left Rowan County, North Carolina, during the Indian outbreaks of 1759. They were living in South Carolina, when her brother, Squire Boone, was born in 1760. (The Boone Family, by Ella Hazel A. Spraker) She married William White probably in South Carolina, and they resided close to or with her Boone family in the Camden District on the Congaree River in South Carolina. In 1779, the family of Samuel Boone Sr. left South Carolina to settle in Kentucky. Elizabeth White made an affidavit in Clark County, Kentucky for her brother, Samuel Boone, Jr., when he applied for his military pension on 26September 1832. In her affidavit, she stated that she lived in Madison County, Kentucky, was over 80 years old, and the widow of William White.

His revolutionary record is as follows: He enlisted June or July 1777 for three months as Sargent under Captain John Cook; Colonel Robert Goodwin, South Carolina.
