William's father George came to America about 1713 and soon after married Deborah Howell on 27 Jul 1713 in Abington, Philadelphia, PA (now Abington, Montgomery, PA). All of George and Deborah Boone's 10 children were born in the Exeter, Philadelphia, PA area (now Exeter, Berks, PA).

William Boone and Sarah Lincoln are my 5th g-grandparents.

Thank you, Gary L. Evans
