Benjamin Boone

(16 Jul 1706 - 14 Oct 1762)



Benjamin had one child by Ann Farmer, several by Susannah.

In Benjamin's will, he mentions "Susanah, my dearly beloved wife." The will is signed 5 Jan. 1762, proved 27 Oct 1762, recorded Berks Co, PA.
The Boone Society has determined Susannah's last name was Liken/Lycon. As proof, we have been referred to a May 12-13, 1733, land transaction when Andrew Liken and his wife Anne sold 200 acres at Manataway, PA, to Benjamin Boone of Oley Township Pennsylvania. Berks County Deeds, Book 1, pp. 68-69.
