The Resting Place of Squire and Sarah Boone
by Glenn N. Holliman
Above is the memorial to the Boones in the background of a 18th and 19th Century cemetery in Mocksville, North Carolina. Below is an ingenious marker showing in metal the locations of the Boone and Wilcoxson family farms, our ancestors, in Wilkes County. The first photo is the entire plaque and the second a close up of the map. So next time, with more time, one must visit the old homesteads!
One of my great uncles, a brother of Daniel Boone and our 6th great grandmother, Sara Boone Wilcoxson, was Israel Boone who is buried beside his parents.
Daniel himself lies buried at the state capitol in Frankfort, Kentucky.
