Two very good sources for you to start looking:
THE BOONE FAMILY by Spraker is the classic. It is well documented and very
thorough
BOONE by Sarah Ridge Rockenfield. This was a privately printed book but
found in many libraries, esp Salt Lake LDS.

A third source for you to contact is "The Boone Society, Inc" their website
is:
www.boonesociety.org They are doing a lot of reserach into the entire
Boone family. They do accept queries in their quarterly

I too am looking for Boones. And as you are finding out, although the
family name is famous and there is a lot on Daniel, there is not that much
on other family members.

To add to the problem, the names, both male and female, were repeated with
great frequency every generation.

The Boones were Quakers out of Devonshire. Bradnich was the last village
the George Boone family resided in. The Boone Society has hired a
professional genealogist in Britain to further research there. Once in the
Colonies, the children drifted away from the Quaker faith. Many became
Baptists (not the modern Southern Baptists...different church) Squire was a
Baptist minister...settled southern Indiana.

Spraker: pages 610-611 Maryland Caroline County marriages
28 February 1809 Elizabeth Boon and Nathan Montague
This is probably your Elizabeth. A quick search through the book did not
find any further reference, nor is she listed as a child of Daniel. Get a
copy of the book from the library and read it cover to cover...it is a
treasure of information. You may find what you are looking for in the
Spraker book.

Good luck.
