Gentlemen:
Can I obtain from you copies of the following pension applications?
1st Original applications of Squire Boone (from 1760). He served in a S.C. regiment under Capt. Cook's company from Camden, S.C. He afterwards moved to
Page 43

Kentucky, was wounded in the Battle of Lower Blue Licks, 1782 for which he was pensioned in 1809.
2nd Pension application or statement of Squire Boone's widow Anna (Grubbs) Boone made in 1839, Todd Co. Kentucky.
3rd Pension statement made by Squire Boone's brother Samuel in 1840, regarding service of said Squire Boone.
I would also like to know when the pension to Anna
Page 44

Boone, widow of said Squire Boone, was discontinued, as I wish to ascertain the date of her death, if possible.
If there is any expense connected with finding this information please advise me.
Yours truly
Mrs. J.P. Spraker
64 Dorchester Road,
Buffalo, N.Y.

P.S. Is there any record of Squire Boone's Father Samuel, born 1728, died 1808 or 1809, having served in the Revolution. I think he was also in the Battle of Lower Blue Licks in Kentucky, but not sure.

Dear Sir:
In looking up some geneological recrds I find a reference that leads me to believe that an ancestor of mine received a pension for services performed during the American Revolution
"Pioneer Families of Missouri" by Bryant Rose says Neither Daniel nor Squire Boone were actually Revolutionary Soldiers, but in 1813. in recognition of their services on border warfare (in Kentucky) during that period Congress passed resolutions giving them the honor and standing of Revolutionary Soldiers"
Did they recieve pensions for these services? Did Michael Stoner (of George Michael Stoner), recieve a pension for like services in Kentucky? Did Michael (or George Michael) Stoner recieve a pension for his services in the Battle of Kings Mountain in North Carolina? This information will help me verify the services of my ancestor to complete my record for entranceinto a historical society. I am especially anxious to find if Michael Stoner recieved a pension. Any information you can give me will be thankfuly recieved.
