Proof of parentage is needed for this person.
Claims have been made that she is a dau of Joseph Boone, Sr. and wife Catherine, however The Boone Society DOES NOT recognize Catherine, wife of Isaac Edwards, as a child of Joseph Boone, Sr. at this time.
Proof of the surname BOONE is needed.. Claims have been made that it is inscribed on her headstone - proof is needed.
Likewise, claims have been made that her middle name was "Rosanna" - proof is needed. This claim probably comes from people confusing her with a different person, namely Catherine Rosanna Boone (b 1738 in PA), who was listed in Rockenfield's 1987 work.3 See citation.

... [Isaac Edwards] must have married in 1769, for he was dismissed by the Quaker meeting early in 1770 for marrying outside the faith (1 Hinshaw 538). He does not seem to have returned to the Quaker church, although his wife Catherine (who was not a Quaker when she married him) later joined that church, as did the two older children, Annuel and Henry. No record has been found to identify Catherine; some have concluded that she was a Boone and probably a relative of Daniel Boone [emphasis added]. Isaac's Bible does give Feb. 1, 1755 for her birthdate. ...
... His wife Catherine and the boys did not move their church membership until 1792, which suggests that they were not too active in the Quaker church. ...
... Isaac took very little part in the county's affairs. He died in 1825, according to his monument in the old North End Cemetery, and his will was probated in August of that year. His wife died ten years later, in 1835, and was buried beside him. She also left a will (Grayson, W.B. 1-451).
As indicated, Isaac left his tract to Isaac and John. The widow was bequeathed a mare, two cows, four sheep, all the household furniture and a life interest in the land. A codicil to the will mentioned his granddaughter Polly Bedsaul. Catherine's will made provision for Hannah Stearman (probably her daughter) and for a Lusinda Edwards, for services done 'in living with me.' Her wearing apparel and 'bed clothes' were to be divided among her sons John, William, Henry, Annuel, and Joshua; the son Isaac had already received what she perceived to be his part of her estate 'before this will was wrote.' She also had a personal bequest for Nancy Worrell and Elizabeth Williams (probably the wives of Esau Worrell and Jonathon Williams).
The old Edwards Bible is still in the family (the writer has not seen it) and it lists the births of Isaac, Catherine and thirteen children: ...

[Lists a Catherine Rosanna Boone, b 1738 as a dau of Joseph Boone, Sr., however NO source or proof is provided. This Catherine was supposedly born 17 years prior to the Catherine of this page and in a different state, and she went on to marry a different husband, therefore it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that they are the same individual.]
