   Sometime after 1701, but before 1717 when George III moved to America,
   the George Boone III family joined the Quakers at Cullompton, just outside
   of Exeter, (Devon, England) and thus baptism records for their remaining 4
   children were not recorded. Their remaining 4 children were: Joseph,
   Benjamin, James & Samuel and their birth and death information is shown
   as recorded by James Boone. All were born in England.

   ... from early Exeter (PA) Records:
   “8-30-1733, Joseph Boone produced a paper of condemnation for proceeding in marriage contrary to order.” ...

   [16 Apr 1785 - Indenture between Jacob Boone of Exeter Twp., Berks Co, PA, Yeoman, and Samuel DeTurk of Amity Twp., Berks Co., PA.
   
   Indenture traces the Title to 500 acres belonging to Joseph Boone, Jr.'s estate:
   - from William Penn, Proprietor of Pennsylvania, to John Millington (in 1682) ... and down the line until it reaches
   - from Ralph Ashton, Gentleman, of Philadelphia, to Squire Boone of Philadelphia County, one half of said 500 acres (in 1730);
   - then from Squire Boone and wife Sarah to Joseph Boone Sen. of Amity, 106 acres of above land (in 1750);
   - (upon the death of Joseph Boone, Sr. (1776), this land passes to his son Joseph Boone, Jr.)
   
   Indenture also traces Title to 184 acres belonging to Joseph Boone, Jr.'s estate:
   - from Proprietors of Pennsylvania to Joseph Boone Sen. of Amity (in 1738) (Phila Book A, p. 112);
   - then from Joseph Boone, Sen. and wife Catherine to their son Joseph Boone Junr. (30 April 1708).]
   -----
   [cos1776 Note: This is NOT the original text as presented by Spraker. I have annotated it for clarity (see original article for original text). In this record, Jacob Boone, son of Joseph Boone, Jr., is selling land belonging to his father's estate. It is a significant record, because it proves that his father, Joseph Boone, Jr., was a son of Joseph Boone, Sr. and wife Catherine. According to this site the original Land Patent on velum, dated April 16, 1785 between Jacob Boone and Samuel DeTurk, is extant. The highlighted date (30 April 1708) is troubling in Spraker's Abstract as it is not clear to what it is referring. It can't be the original date of the Deed, since it would be 22 years before Joseph Jr. was born and Joseph Sr. would have only been 4 yrs old. It could be a mistake. More research is needed.]
