WHEN DID THE BOONES AND HAWORTHS MOVE FROM PENNSYLVANIA
TO VIRGINIA
& NORTH CAROLINA?
The families of Squire Boone (Daniel's father) and George Haworth (James father) were neighbors in Pennsylvania. But they did not move together?
·
Two of James Haworth's brothers (Stephanus and Absalom) moved to
Virginia in 1738 and James joined them in 1739 (Reference
"Hopewell Friends History", 1734-1934, Frederick Co., VA).
·
Squire Boone (Daniel Boone's father) began his move from PA to VA to NC
in 1750, when Daniel was only 16 years old. They stayed in Virginia with Squire
Boone's sister for a few months before continuing to North Carolina.
(Reference is "The Star of the Empire" written by Archibald Henderson
and published in 1919 & others.)
·
James Haworth never moved to NC. He died in Virginia in 1757 and his
wife remarried in 1759. Sarah Wood Haworth Ruble moved with all of her family,
except son Richard, to the Bush River Meeting in SC in 1768. Most later moved to
NC, (Reference "Hopewell Friends History", 1734-1934,
Frederick Co., VA).
