  Notes	From Sarah Ridge Rockenfield's "Our Boone Families" -- page 453: "Edward, Son of Squire Boone Sr. and Sarah Morgan Boone was born Nov 30, 1740 in Exeter Twp. Berks Co., PA. Married Martha Bryan, daughter of Joseph and Alee Bryan and a sister to Rebecca, Daniel Boone's wife. Edward moved with his parents to the Yadkin District in N. C. when he was about 10 years old. He married Martha in the Yadkin District and their children were all born there. He went to Kentucky with his brother, Daniel Boone. He and Daniel and several other men had gone to the Blue Licks Salt Licks to boil down salt. It took 680 galls of salt water to boil down a bushel of salt. It cost a $5 Continental bill to buy a bushel of salt. On their way back to Fort Boonesborough, they stopped to let the horses graze. Edward was cracking nuts with a stone and was killed by Indians (Shawnees) on Oct 6, 1780 in Clark Co.(Boonesborough), (near Blue Lick River) KY. Martha Bryan Boone was only in her 30's when Ned was killed and she did not remarry. She lived on Boone's Creek and died in 1793 in Fayette Co., KY. Edward was a Baptist preacher and loved to sing." "The Pioneer and the Prairie Lawyer," Willard Mounts, Denver, 1991. Edward Boone's death: "Daniel and Edward Boone went hunting on Himkstone. Found a good grassy spot and stopped to let their horses graze. Edward Boone picked up some nuts and commenced cracking them on a stone in his lap and watching the horses while Daniel Boone said he would take a walk and come back by the time the horses were through picking; he had scarcely gone when several guns cracked and he saw two or three Indians after him. He darted off into the cane and was followed by a dog. Finally to evade him he stepped behind a tree and shot the dog as it approached. Indians came up and rolled over the dead dog, looked at it regretfully and departed. Col. Boone saw the indians but thought it wisest to remain quiet. Seven balls had been shot into Edward and he must have been killed instantly." Story told by John Scholl - Son of Peter and Mary Boone Scholl. Martha Bryan Boone's will said that Jane Boone Morgan(daughter of Edward Boone and Martha Bryan) and husband, Morgan Morgan were living a few miles East of Baton Rouge, LA . Martha Bryan Boone's will dated May 12, 1793. Said by more than one source possibly father of Jemima, Daniel Boone's daughter. "Spraker, "The Boone Family" page 38, 596, 70-71.
