Individual Details

Rebecca Bryan that married John Boone has been assumed by some to be the same lady that married John's brother Daniel Boone. She could not have been. They were living and producing children for their respective husbands at the same time. She has also been placed as a daughter of Morgan & Martha Strode Bryan, but that would be the wrong generation and when Morgan's grandson listed the children of Morgan & Martha in his family history, he did not name any daughters for the couple as Rebecca. I think it most likely that she is the daughter of one of Morgan & Martha's sons - perhaps the daughter of the young Morgan, although a suggested date for his marriage would seem to preclude that possibility. The more current Boone writings indicate that Rebecca's surname is not proved; it's quite likely she wasn't a Bryan at all.

Rebecca Boone, widow of John Boone, made a will on August 26, 1815. As her will was probated August 23, 1822 (Rowan County Will Book H, p. 169), she probably died in July or August, 1822. It is assumed that she was buried by John Boone's side.
On November 6, 1806, John Boone's other heirs gave to John Boone, Jr. a deed to the homestead (Rowan County Deed Book 21, p. 489). From this deed and other reliable sources, including Rebecca Boone's will, the names of their nine children have been determined as follows: Benjamin, Catherine (Katie), Mary, Rebecca, Sarah, Nancy, Elizabeth, Hannah, and John, Jr.
