Mr. Vastine married Elizabeth Boone Gearhart, daughter of Maybury Gearhart, and granddaugh- ter of William and Sara (Boone) Gearhart, of Maybury township, Montour Co., Pa.

George Boone lived in Exeter. England. and was the father of a son whom he also called George. George, Jr., was born in the city of Exeter, Devon- shire, England, and when a young man learned the blacksmith's trade, following it until the time of his death, which occurred in his sixtieth year. . He had married Sara Uppy, who survived him about twenty years, dying at the advanced age of eighty. They were the parents of a son George.
George Boone (3) was born at the village of Stoak, near the city of Exeter, in 1666. When a young man, as was the custom in that day, he learned a trade, selecting that of weaver.

George Boone (3) arrived with his family in Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 10, 1:12. They spent some time in Ab- ington, Pa., and then removed to North Wales, where they remained two years, thence removing to Oley township, Berks Co., Pa., where he pur- chased 400 acres of land, as the warrants, dated 1718, show, and settled upon it. The original Boone farm is now owned by Morris H. De Turk. Mr. Boone died July 27, 1744, aged seventy-eight years. He left surviving eight children, fifty-two grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren, in all seventy descendants, all of whom excepting Sara and Squire remained and died in Exeter, as the record of the Friends' burying ground in Exeter shows.
