Notes for Sarah (Spouse 1)
b. 18 Feb 1691 or ‘92 [old style] or 29 Feb., 1792 [new style]
35Her marriage is recorded in Christ Church, Philadelphia. She was one of the three eldest children of George Boone III, who came to America in advance of the parents; was married and settled in Oley Township, Philadelphia Co. [now Berks Co.], before their arrival. [See old James Boone Genealogy] While she was the first of the family to settle in that locality, she evidently did not affiliate with the Friends Meeting there, as no data concerning her appears in the Quaker records. She was no doubt absorbed by the German element into which she married. It is also possible that she died quite young, as it is recorded that her father, when he died in 1744, left eight children. As all the others are known to have survived their father, Sarah must have been the first one to die. Her descendants, if any, are unknown. We find that one Jacob Stauber was granted land, on Oley Creek, Philadelphia Co. It is thought that Jacob removed to Virginia, probably after his wife’s death, for we find in Virginia record of one Jacob Sover’s sale of land in Augusta Co. [now Rockingham Co.], to George Boone of Oley; one tract of 500 acres and another of 1000 acres described as near the end of North Mountain, on a small branch of the Shenandoah, part of 5000 acres laid out for Stover by the Council of Virginia July, 1730. In 1738 a wife Margaret [Slover] signed a deed for land sold by Jacob to another person. Margaret was probably a second wife.
