When We Were Boones, Part VI

The Final Resting Place of Squire and Sarah Boone
by Glenn N. Holliman

A number of years ago, I pulled off I-85 at Mocksville, North Carolina, drove east a mile toward town, and found the cemetery of my generation's 7th great grandparents.  These are my own photos and several reveal new insights into our family history.

Below is the reconstructed memorial with embedded original grave stones of Squire (1696 - 1765) and Sarah (1700 - 1777).




This is Squire's original marker.

Below is Sarah's rustic marker.
