There is an author who has has made the claim that George Henton's wife had the maiden name of Persis Haddar. He is not a genealogist, nor is he a very crediblee historian. He has made many claims about various Boone descendants based on supposed information from living Boone descendants, and he refuses to name them or to at least provide photo copies of his evidence. He claims that he received information about a marriage record in England concerning a George Hinton and a Persis Haddar, and he further claims that he has viewed the original record.
The author arrogantly uses the surname "Hinton" for George Henton and all of his descendants. His writing openly shows a genuine disdain for any Hentons who believe that Persis might be closely related to George Boone II, the grandfather of Daniel Boone .
What about this supposed marriage record? Does it prove anything? No legitimate genealogist would make that case. A 300-year-old marriage record from England in of and by itself proves little or nothing. There were many men named George HINTON living in England in that era, and several named George Henton too. I did research on Ancestry that proves that Persis was a fairly common name for a woman in England at that time. Unless someone has genuine strong corroborating evidence that the George HINTON who married Persis Haddar is the same man as the George HENTON who settled in Pennsylvania in the early 1700's, then there is nothing valid about this claim.
It is true that no records have been found to prove or disprove that the Persis who is being remembered in this memorial had the maiden name of Boone. Perhaps DNA reach will answer that question someday.

The proof of who George Henton married has been speculated upon for generations. We do know that her name was Persis. And even early family records post that she was Persis Boone, whom we know came to North America with her brother George when he traveled from England, was single and lived in their group, and was no longer around, single, after the time she would have married George Henton.
Many "collection" records that you find on the internet have been deduced from most likely scenarios, spattered with a little common sense. DNA testing is also enlightening some people who's research had previously hit brick walls. Even the old LDS records sometimes fall into this category, as has since been proven. But they are usually reliable along with the understanding that early dates sometimes reference the Julian Calendar, sometimes the Gregorian. And sometimes they are based upon "likelihoods".
Genealogy sources are rated differently based on the likelihood that the person recording it had the correct information, and in fact recorded it accurately. The antique Family Bible that was filled in after each vital event is more trustworthy that the approximated birth year filled out on an elderly person's Death Certificate, with the informant being a nursing home employee, for example.
