Biography

Dinah Boone was born in 1759 in Virginia. She was the daughter of Jonathan Boone (1730 - 1808).

She married Zachariah Boone Allen (1763 - 1825).

Their children were Sally Boone Allen Garrison (1789 - 1845), Lewis Boone Allen (1794 - 1871), and Polly C. Allen Thornton (1806 - 1882).

She died in 1855 in Milton, Pike, Illinois, United States and was buried in French Cemetery, Pike, Illinois, United States.^[1]

"To the wild land thus so ably depicted by the Milton historian of 1876 had come the pioneering Boones-Zachariah and Dinah Boone Allen and his daughter Polly; Lewis Allen and Jonathan Boone Allen and their families (a letter from Jonathan Boone Allen's 73-year-old grandson in the state of Texas establishes the identity of Jonathan B. Allen of the early days as the eldest son of Dinah Boone Allen and a grandson of Jonathan Boone, the brother of Daniel); and Joseph Jackson and his family, the latter continuing on west to the Mississippi side of the county and settling in what is now Pleasant Vale township, near modern New Canton, whither we shall follow them in a later chapter. These Boone family embraced direct descendants of Jonathan and Edward Boone, the former an older and the latter a younger brother of Daniel Boone. Both of these brother of Daniel had their names implanted in Pike county history by their grandsons, namely, Jonathan Boone Allen, grandson of Jonathan Boone, and Edward Boone Scholl, grandson of Edward (Neddie) Boone, whose colorful part in early Pike county history will be related in a chapter devoted to the romantic Scholl family.
