COMMENTS: Arrived at St. John, NB with six children and wife in spring of 1783 on the "Union". Gave Henry power of attorney in 1797 to deal with estate of his father. It would appear that they arrived in Keswick by 1795 at the latest.

"This William Boone was one of 3 or 4 brothers. Samuel & Roger - William and George were prisoners of war in the American Revolution. The wife of Wm Boone, Ruth Hill was in Boston when men disguised as Indians boarded English ships and threw cargoes of tea in the sea. Would not pay duty. I heard my mother tell that her and brothers and sisters had heard their Great Grandmother Ruth Hill relate the above and other stories of that trying time." (Tracy Book)

The first 10 children were born in North Kingston, R.I. The last 3 were born in Sunbury Co., NB.
