to Schuykill St, to a street of row houses, where he had a
large back yard reached by a covered walkway, which contained
a garden and fruit trees, and in the back a carriage house
rented out as a candy factory. This must have been in 1920
give or take a few years. Then he and his wife went to live

E-mail: Larry DeFrance
Query: I am researching the name Hawkins BOONE. He was
the brother of Elizabeth (BOONE) DEFRANCE, my ggggg grandmother.
Hopefully, if we can trace him, we can trace her.
Hawkins BOONE was a Captain in the 12th PA regiment, Continental Army.
There are also records indicating he was originally commissioned a 2nd
Lieutenant of the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Northumberland
(PA) Militia. And that he was transferred to the 12th about the time it
was consolidated into the 3rd and 6th. We know that he resided in Exeter,
Berks Co PA in 1770 and 1771 based upon a deed in his name. We believe he
was a surveyor there.
He was killed on July 28, 1779 at the Battle of Fort Freeland, near the
present-day Sunbury, Northumberland Co, PA. We have this info from
several different sources. We also know that a Robert ARTHUR, who married
Susan BOONE (his sister) was an administrator of the Captain's estate, as
was a Jean (Jane) BOONE. Jane FORTENBAUGH applied for and received the
Captain's widow's pension in Rush twp, Dauphin Co, PA 5/22/1839. She was
the widow of Philip FORTENBAUGH who "...died many years before." His
birth date and place are unknown, as are the names of his parents.
There is some speculation that he was a child of Joseph and Catherine
BOONE, who are said to have resided on lands adjoining Squire BOONE's.
Joseph was born 4/5/1704 and died 1/30/1776. However we've never found
records of their children as they apparently lived outside the Friends
Society. Family tradition for years has had him a cousin of Daniel
BOONE's. But we've never been able to make the connection.
Hawkins is believed to have had three sisters, Elizabeth (my relative),
Sarah and Susan, and a least one brother, Samuel.
John Henry and Elizabeth (BOONE) DEFRANCE named their 5th child Abram
Boone and their 6th child Hawkins Boone. Hawkins Boone DF is my direct
ancestor, and one of my sons is named Hawkins Boone DF III. Boone has
been a commonly used middle name by the DeFrances for nearly 200 years.
Please contact me if you can shed any light on this mystery.
