ANDREW JACKSON BOON

Another story about the Andrew Jackson Boon family that was posted for me on Rootsweb’s forums back in November 1998

ANDREW JACKSON BOON FAMILY

Andrew Jackson Boon was born in North Carolina in the year of 1815. He married Sarah Miller on July 4, 1838 in Obion County, Tennessee. They were the parents of eight children. He died around 1855 in Livingston County. His wife remarried to Reverend James Turner. Andrew Jackson dropped the “e” from Boone.

He left Tennessee in 1842 and came to Cole County; he was also in Boone County before coming to Livingston County in 1852. His children were: Mary (1839) born in Tennessee; Lucinda (1840-1930). She married W. H. Varney and had four children Lucretia (1842-1868) whose husband was William Hughes. They had three children; John Daniel (1846-1913). He married Hester Mariah Turner. They had nine children;

Jackson Melvin (1851); Sarah (1852) who married Isham Weaver and had three children and Andrew C. (8-19-1844) born in Cole County, Missouri. He came to Livingston County with his parents in or around the year of 1852. He married Martha Asbury Brassfield (1847-1926) in 1865. Her parents were Riley and Rachel Brassfield also from Livingston County, Missouri. See Volume 1, page 103 Livingston County Book for more information. Their children were: James Riley (1866-1933) married to Sadie Renchler and they had seven children; Mahala Ann (1868-1871); William Henry (1870-1923) married to Fanny Russell, one child; Francis Marion “Frank” (1872-1955) married Pearl Renchler, one child; Rachel Isabel “Issie” (1874-1963) married Pat Mallen, two girls and two boys; Sanford Clarence (1877-1959); Della Maud (1879-1968) married to Fred Hargrave and have six children; Lizzie Katherine (1882-1946) married William Henry Sterling. They had one child; Claud (1885-1962) married Sarah Hargrave and had eight children; Nora Ellen (1888-1977) married Frank Wilson and had three children; Charlie (1891).

Sanford Clarence Boon was known by most people in Livingston County, Missouri as “Clarence”. He was born 11-13-1877. He was the sixth child of Andy and Martha Brassfield Boon.

In 1897 Clarence was married to Lucy Ann Anderson. Most people called her “Lula”. She was the daughter of Thee and Ellen Lucan Anderson also from Livingston County, Missouri.

Clarence and Lucy Ann lived several places while in Livingston County. To this marriage four children were born: Arthur (7-4-1898) married Velma Wilburn and had three children: Wilford, Mildred, and Verda. Wilford is still living in Chula. His first wife was Dorothy Marshall and his second wife is Margaret (Peggy) Englert. He has five children by this marriage: Wayne, Gerald, Ann, Arte, and Clint.

Mildred married Herman Reich and had one son, Donnie of Grundy County. He and his wife Ruby have two children. Mildred died in 1960, Verda married Lowell Jackson and died in 1953, Velma died in 1964.

Sandford and Lucy Ann’s second child was Hazel (1900-1980), married to Clarence Prewitt with two children, Robert and Phyllis and four grandchildren.

Their third child was Robert (1906). He moved to Grundy County in 1936 and still lives in Trenton. He married Alice Ella Cravens Cartmill (11-5-09) in 1946. She was the daughter of Grover Cleveland and Lillian Myrtle Retherford Cravens. Their one child was Dorthy Marie (2-4-1946) married to David Gott, (6-9-1965) the son of Waiter and Cordie Meek Gott. They live in Gladstone, Missouri and have Michelle (12-29-65); Anthony (10-12-72) and Brandon (9-9-73). Robert has three step children, James, Myrtle, and Marilyn.

The fourth child of Sanford and Lucy Ann was Rive (1906-1980) a twin to Robert. She had rheumatic fever as a child and lived with her parents until they died, then with a nephew Robin Prewitt in a boarding home.

Andrew Jackson Boon(e)

Andrew Jackson Boon

The following story was posted on a Boone family forum on the Rootsweb site back in November 1998. I want to share them for any family who wants them.

ANDREW JACKSON BOONE FAMILY

There are few documents to verify the family story on Andrew Jackson Boon.  Lucinda Jane (Boone) Varney, second great grandmother of Marsha Sylvester, (author of this article) outlived all the other children of Jackson and Sarah (Miller) Boon. Her story comes from two sources, the first source was a newspaper clipping written in August, 1930, and saved by her granddaughter Jessie I’Lee Epperson; the second source was a little journal from her grandson, William (Willie) Worth Alien. These sources have been combined.

Lucinda Jane (Boon) Varney was born in Obion County, Tennessee, August 9, 1840. When she was two or three years old her parents, Andrew Jackson Boon and Sarah Elizabeth (Miller) Boon, moved to Boone County by flat boat up the Mississippi River and the Missouri river to Boonville and later to Moniteau County adjoining Boone County where they lived for eight years. When Lucinda was ten years old the family moved to Livingston County. Their livestock was two yoke of oxen and two milk cows. Two other wagons with them on this move went on up into Iowa.

They settled northeast of Springhill, which then was larger than Chillicothe which had only a tavern, two trading posts and a few log houses.

Her grandfather was a cousin to famous frontiersman, Daniel Boone, and many times Lucinda heard her father tell of the famous pioneer coming to his home to go “bar” hunting when Lucinda’s father was a boy.

When Lucinda was about twelve her father died and she tells how she and her sister Mary, with the help of oxen pulled logs out of the woods and helped tend the crops. Her mother lived to rear the family and to get married again to Reverend James Turner, May 13, 1860 (Livingston County, MO, Volume 1 page 31).

Sarah (Miller) Boon died in the 1860’s and she and Andrew Jackson Boon were buried in the Canady (Kennedy) Cemetery east side of the old Curtis farm and ¼ mile northeast of the Henry Caddell’s place. Andrew Jackson Boon’s grave was marked by a big old cedar tree that was planted by Lucinda. Near the grave are two head stones marked Newton and Nancy Cincid.

Jackson and Sarah Boon’s eight children were:

1.       Mary Eliza (8,10,1839) born in Tennessee, married June 24, 1856 to Benjamin Franklin Gibbs in Livingston County. Marriage Record Vol. 1 Page 19. Mary died in her twenties.

2.       Lucinda Jane (8,9,1840-8,31,1934) was married December 9, 1859 to William Hawkins Varney, they had ten children.

3.       Lucrecy Eliza (5,6,1842) was born in Tennessee. She was married to William Hughes and died after giving birth to her third child when she was not over thirty years old.

4.       Andrew C. (8,19,1844-2,26,1922) married Martha Asbury Brassfield on October 28, 1865. They had eleven children.

5.       John Daniel (8,25, 1846-8,4,1913) was born in Moniteau County, Missouri. He married Hester Mariah Turner on February 4, 1869. They had nine children.

6.       William Henry (4,2,1848-1,24, 1924) married Nancy Jane Turner on March 14, 1865. They had nine children.

7.       Jackson Melven (3,1,1850) married Mrs. Delaney E. Kirby on February 4, 1889.

8.       Sarah Elizabeth (4, 1, 1852) married Isham B. Weaver, on October 3, 1867. They had five children.

The names and birth dates of the children of Andrew Jackson Boon as recorded by him on the fly leaves of a book of the life of Benjamin Franklin 1825

It is written that Sarah (Miller) Boon had a brother, William Henry Miller, and a sister, Jane (Miller) Tidy.

Andrew Jackson Boon

I am starting with my fourth great-grandfather Andrew Jackson Boon(e). He is the farthest back that I have gotten with documentation. I am descended from his son John Daniel.

ANDREW JACKSON BOON(E)

Andrew Jackson Boon(e) married Sarah Elizabeth Miller on 4 July 1838 in Obion County, Tennessee. She was born in 1818 in Obion County, Tennessee. They had 8 children:

1. Mary Eliza                b 10 Aug 1839 Obion County, TN        d in  her 20's
2. Lucinda Jane             b 9 Aug 1840 Obion County, TN         d 31 Aug 1934 Chillicothe, Livingston, MO
3. Lucrecy Eliza            b 6 May 1842 TN                                d before the age of 30
4. Andrew C.               b 19 Aug 1844 Cole County, MO        d 26 Feb 1922 Livingston County, MO
5. John Daniel               b 25 Aug 1846 MO                             d 4 Aug 1913   Livingston County, MO
6. William Henry           b 2 Apr 1848  Livingston County, MO d 24 Jan 1924 Livingston County, MO
7. Jackson Melvin         b 1 Mar 1850  Livingston County, MO d ?
8. Sarah Elizabeth         b 1 Apr 1852   Livingston County, MO d  ?

After Andrew Jackson Boone died, Sarah Elizabeth married Rev. James Turner.

Andrew Jackson Boone wrote the names and dates of each of his children's births on the inside of a book.

Andrew Jackson Boone died in 1855 and was listed in the 1850 Census as Jackson Boone.

Andrew Jackson Boone's father is thought to be John Boone, Jr., son of John Boone, son of Benjamin Boone and Ann Farmer, but I have not found any documentation to support this. I had heard from other researchers that John Boone, Jr.'s will list a Andrew Jackson as a son and the dates and locations fit.

My Boone Ancestors

My name is Misty Boone and for over 20 years I have been researching my family history. I am starting this blog to share my information with family and hopefully to tear down a few "brick walls" that I have hit in my research. I also hope to meet distant cousins and share photos.

I will not be sharing information on people who are currently living other than names.

SURNAMES that I am currently researching:


PATERNAL                                                                       MATERNAL
BOONE                                                                               MILLS

TURNER                                                                             CLEVENGER

These are just  a few of the family names.

Some of the areas that I have been researching include:
