... And so this brings us to Hiram Cassel Boone who lies buried on Little Bend of the Ohio River in Meade County, Kentucky. According to Hazel Spraker's account, Hiram Cassel Boone was born 3 July 1789 and died in Meade County, Kentucky on his farm known as "Sandy Farm." She says his first wife was Frances Ann Boone, a daughter of Jonathan, and granddaughter of Squire Boone. Frances was the mother of three children, Grandison H. Boone, Rattliff R. Boone and John Tipton Boone. Hiram Cassel Boone's second wife was Mrs. Sarah Hairston Staples, the widow of Major John Staples. In her biographical account of Hiram Cassel Boone, Mrs. Spraker says on p. 160, that Hiram left a statement that he was descended from George Boone III who came to America in 1717. Mrs. Spraker wrote that Hiram C. Boone moved to Indiana at the same time Squire Boone, Jr. moved to Indiana from Kentucky. Spraker wrote that Boone was commissioned a captain in the campaign of the Wabash. Later, after his commission as colonel in the 5th Regiment of Militia of the Sate of Indiana he was known as Colonel Boone the rest of his life. She also stated he was one of the wealthiest men in Meade County. He is listed with real estate worth over $13,000 in the 1850 Meade County Census abstracted by Shelly Sims. Mrs. Spraker wrote in 1922 that he had a fine brick home on his farm on the Ohio River in Meade County. At the time she first published her history of the Boones, his son, Hiram C. Boone, Jr. the second lived there.

... Hiram Cassel Boone, while yet a boy, was commissioned captain by General William Henry Harrison, in 1811, and sent with a company against the Indians. Jane Hughes Boone lived to see Hiram rise to the rank of colonel of the 5th regiment of the Indiana Militia. About 1806, the Boones built a Baptist church one of the earliest churches of the State. "Though of logs, it still stands (in 1982) in good condition, a protecting monument to the clustering of graves of its church yard. Its site was the home farm of Moses and Hannah Boone, and here lie the remains of Jane Hughes Boone.
