JACOB BOON Sr., son of Johann Diel and Mary Bohn, may have been their first son, date of birth unknown, died in 1814 at Boone Mill, Virginia. An inventory of his estate is on file at Rocky Mount, Franklin Co, Virginia, dated March 17, 1814.
He was married in Maryland about 179 or 1770 to Catrin (Catherine) _____ whose will was filed in 1822. Both are buried in the Boone Cemetery at Boone Mill. Jacob's father bequeathed to him his dwelling plantation, "Boon's Content" and 125 acres of land, with the provise that Jacob's mother, Mary, should keep possesion of it until Adam, their youngest son, became of age. Because of the trasfers of the land in 1777, it appears that Adam became of age that year, or that the mother, Mary, had died. July 12, 1777, Nicholas Boone, administrator of his father's estate, and wife Barbara, deeded to Jacob Boone,
Blacksmith, 80 acres off of "Shear Spring" and 40 acres off of "Boon's Content" together with a lot (in Frizellburg) off of "Wagoner's Fancy" containing 1/4 acre, EXCEPT 80 perches (1/2 acre) to be in a square around the graveyard on the "Shear Spring" tract (Liber R.P. folio 207).
July 12, 1777, Jacob Boon, Blacksmith, and his wife Catrin, deeded to Nicholas Boon, Farmer, his interest in a part of "Black Oak Hill" which was "Foul" on "No Whiskey" tract, 7 1/4 acres. Jacob had purchased this 7 1/4 acres of Valentine Mirer (Meyer?) on June 25, 1770 (Liber N. folio 203).
September 18, 1777, Jacob Boone, Farmer, deeded to Mary Triplett of Baltimore, Widow, all of his interest in the tree tracts, graveyard excepted, wife Catharine joining in the deed (LiberR.P. folio 250).
This is the last record of Jacob Boon on file in Frederick Co, Maryland.
Jacob was on the Committee of Observation of Frederick County during the Revolutionary War, as were Nicholas and John (Md. Hist. Mag. Vol. 11, page 164), and at least one person has joined the D.A.R. through Jacob's service.
Abraham took an Oath of Fidelity to the Government in 1778, Jacob began paying taxes in Bedford (now Franklin) Co, Virginia in 1782, John in 1784 (later moving to Montgomery County), and Abraham paid personal taxes in Rockingham Co, Virginia in 1791, land taxes in 1796. Boone Mill, where Jacob built the old mill, and engaged in farming and milling, is about 15 miles south of Roanoke on the Norfolk & Western Railroad. It is probable that the first four or five of his children were born in Maryland and the rest in Virginia. Accounts of him and his descendants have been printed in some of the Boone Bulletins.
Jacob and Catherine Boon had 12 children, order of birth uncertain--Mary Kesler, Peter, Jacob, Abraham, Elizabeth (never married), John, Catherine Pennock, Isaac, Susanna Noftsinger-Abshir, Daniel, Nancy Fister, Joseph (died at 23). b. bef 1765 Wingfield: While turning a log at his mill, he fell and his leg was crushed, causing his death. Purchased land which he used for the establishment of a mill
