DONNELLY 1997 For marriage of Grace BOONE and David MACKGILL GENEALOGY OF THE BOONE FAMILY OF MARYLAND, BY REV. EDWARD D. BOONE, S.J. ........................................................................... NOTES: The parents of John Boone of the Cliffs are not known. It had been generally accepted by Boone researchers that he was the son of John Boone and Mary Handley and he was identified as John Boone of Florida. This was based on Genealogical History of Our Ancestors by William K. Rutherford and The Descendants of Andrew Bohun by ___Berk. This is probably not the case. The recently published book Fair Were Their Dreams regarding John Boone of Boone Hall Plantation in South Carolina by Mary Cole Farrow Long makes a strong case that John Boone of Florida was not the same man as John Boone of the Cliffs and she is probably correct. In the early days, what is now South Carolina would have been a part of that territory referred to as Florida (from which the present state of Florida was created), but Maryland was not.
