   We know that a Johanes BOHNE and a Johan Jacob BOHNE arrived in Philadelphia 21
   Sep 1742 aboard the Ship FRANCIS and ELIZABETH. {6} This Jacob BOHNE is most likely
   the Jacob BOON that received a grant of 326 A. in Augusta County, Virginia on the
   North River and Holeman's Creek that he and his wife Catherine sold to William
   CARRYL 5 July 1757 mentioned above. After this sale of land in 1757, Jacob BOON,
   Johann Baltzer BOON and Philip BOON must have migrated down to Orange County,
   North Carolina, where Baltzer BOON died in 1757 leaving a widow, Mary BOON and
   probably two and possibly three minor children.
