“The pension report of John Boone states that he was a nephew of Daniel Boone. Consequently he must have been a son of either Israel or Jonathan Boone, as Daniel’s other brothers had no sons John. At the date of his enlistment he resided in York Co., Pennsylvania; enlisted in 1777 and served three years under Capt. Spanzler, Pennsylvania; engaged in the Battle of Camden. On 20 Aug., 1833, when a resident of Monroe Co., Virginia he applied for a pension, which claim was allowed. At that time he was 78 years old, and he died 2 years later.”
