Biography

Col William Boone served with North Carolina during the American Revolution.

William Linville was born in 1767/1768. He is the third child of George Boone and Nancy Linville. Also, the nephew of Squire and Daniel Boone.

About 1780, it is said he came from Virginia with his parents, who were among the very early pioneers, to Madison County, Kentucky, where in 1780, his father founded Boone's Station,^[1] about one and one-half or two miles north of the present courthouse in Richmond.

William married Nancy Grubbs in Madison County, Kentucky, on August 16, 1789.^[2]

Nancy Ann Grubbs was born the 8th of June, 1771 a daughter of Higgason Grubbs and Lucy (Harris) Grubbs. ^[3] The marriage rites being solemnized by Rev. Christopher Harris, of Old Baptist Faith, who was a brother of Lucy (Harris) Grubbs, thus being an uncle of the bride.

After his uncle, Edward Boone, had been killed by Indians in 1780, William, his father, George Boone, and his uncle Daniel Boone, were in the party which went out to bring in the mutilated body.

In the fall of 1799, when Daniel Boone moved to Missouri, William Linville Boone was one of the party which went by boat, but he did not stay long and returned without trying to get a grant of land from Spain. (Missouri was then Spanish territory.)

In 1811, William Boone and family, including his son-in-law, Andrew Tribble, with his family, moved to Shelby County, Kentucky. Just how long he lived here we do not know. After a time (1818) he moved to Missouri, settling near Columbia, Boone Co. Living there until after the death of his wife, Nancy (Grubbs) in 1835, when soon after he returned to Kentucky, and again located in Shelby County.

In 1845, he was sent by the Kentucky Legislature to Missouri to gain the consent of Nathan Boone, son of Daniel, for the removal of the bodies of Daniel and his wife, Rebecca (Bryan) Boone, from Missouri to Frankfort, Ky. He was successful in this mission, and was one of the pall-bearers at the time of their removal.

Marriage#2

In 1840, at the age of seventy-two he was married a second time to Mrs. Ann (Bryan) Perry. A few years later (1847), he died and was buried on the old Major Andrew Tribble farm in Shelby County. In those days each family had its own private burial ground.

Notes

In Heitman's Historical Register (1789-19 — ), page 230, we find the record of William Boone of Kentucky, being 3d Lieut, of Rangers on 1 Aug., 1813, in Illinois Territory; and honorably discharged "15 (Aug.?) 1815." This may refer to the subject, William Linville Boone.

Two Williams

During the closing years of the 18th, and the early part of the 19th Centuries there were two men by the name of William Boone living in Madison County, Ky. One is the subject of this profile, and the other was probably his cousin, William Boone, whose wife was Margaret.
