In the fall of 1779 he moved with his father's family to Kentucky, and settled at Bryan's Station. Here he continued to serve in frontier Indian warfare until the time of his marriage.
He lived for a time at Lexington, where his son Levi was born in 1808, and later removed to Todd County, near the present town of Elkton, where he located on a farm and built the home in which he lived until his death. He never fully recovered from the wound he received at the battle of Blue Licks, and it is said that the bullet he had received in the hip remained there during the rest of his life.

- ↑ Squire Boone was born in South Carolina, whither his parents had moved to avoid the depredations of the Indians on the western borders of North Carolina, where they had formerly lived. There is no further record of Squire up to the time of his enlistment from the Camden District of South Carolina, on the Congaree River, in 1777.

From the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Pensions, Washington, D. C., W. F. 8-372, Rev. War, Squire Boone.

He also served under General George Rogers Clark in his expeditions against the Piqua towns, and was seriously injured in the Battle of Blue Licks. The record also states that the pensioner was a son of Samuel Boone and a nephew of Daniel, and gives considerable data concerning his wife and children.
