Benjamin Boone was a son of George Boone III and Mary Maugridge. Benjamin's brother Squire was the father of Daniel Boone the frontiersman.
Benjamin Boone was married twice. His second wife was named Susannah. As pointed out by the noted genealogist Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig, "That she was the daughter of Andrew Laican/Lykins of Manatawny and married Benjamin Boone is confirmed by now-lost Gloria Dei records which were copied and later published by Dr. John Tanner of Washington, D.C., in his genealogy, Our Little Family Record (1879), 52-53" (Peter Stebbins Craig, The Swedish Hulings (1996), page 30, footnote 4). See below the discussion under SOURCES.
Benjamin and Susannah's daughter Dinah Boone married Benjamin Tallman, whose mother was Anne Lincoln, sister of John Lincoln, the great grandfather of President Abraham Lincoln.

John Ross m. Betsy Griscom (aka Betsy Ross)
The James Wilson who married Rachael Bird was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Wilson .
James Wilson (1742–1798) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence. Wilson was elected twice to the Continental Congress, and was a major force in drafting the United States Constitution. A leading legal theorist, he was one of the six original justices appointed by George Washington to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Mark Bird's wife Mary Ross was the half-sister of Aneas Ross, whose son John married Betsy Griscom, better known as Betsy Ross (1732-1836), who (allegedly) sewed the first American flag.
Not shown above:
Mary Ross had a brother George Ross Jr. who was another signer of the Declaration of Independence. George married Ann Lawler. They had a son George Ross who married Mary Bird, a younger sister of Rachel Bird and Mark Bird.

In this article Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig mentioned his discovery of the book Our Little Family, in which was copied the marriage between Benjamin Boone and Susannah Lykins as originally recorded in the now-lost register of marriages of Gloria Dei (Old Swedes) Church in Philadelphia.
The article discussed Mary Lykins who married Benjamin Bioren. Mary was the daughter of Peter Lykins, brother of Susannah Lykins.

Dr. Nils William Olsson forwarded Dr. Wikén's discovery to me on the
hunch that I might have come across the name of the elusive Benjamin Bioren
in my research. By coincidence, I had. Only last year, while researching the
Swedish Lykins family, I had been led to an obscure book, Our Little Family
Record, published in Washington, D.C., in 1879 by Doctor John Tanner — the
same Doctor Tanner who signed the above inquiry — in which he sought to
preserve a record of the ancestors and descendants of the same Benjamin Bioren
and his wife Mary Lykins.2 The book was particularly noteworthy in that it
contained genealogical data extracted from the register of marriages, baptisms
and burials of Gloria Dei (Old Swedes) Church in Philadelphia, 1697-1750,
before that book disappeared around the time of Nicholas Collin's death in 1831.
Doctor Tanner's 1879 Version
In the preface to his book, Our Little Family Record, dated 26 June 1879,
Dr. John Tanner gave his age as "three score and ten years."3 . . .

2 A copy of this book, privately published, is in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.
3 According to the DAR application of Dr. Tanner's granddaughter, Helen J. Tanner (Mrs. Ethelbert Green), dated
26 Feb. 1924, No. 151,980, on file at the DAR Library, Washington, D.C., John Tanner was born in Philadelphia 26
June 1809 and died in Washington, D.C., 1892.

NOTE 1:
Tanner's Andrew Lykins and Anache are identified as Anders Laicon and Anna in Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig's article below.
Although Tanner had indicated that Anache's maiden name as Jones, Dr. Craig stated that Anna's parents had not been identified.
NOTE 2:
Tanner's grandmother was Mary Lykins, wife of Benjamin Bioren. However, as Dr. Craig pointed out on pages 80 and 81, Tanner had mistakenly identified Mary as the daughter Peter Lykins and Brita Jones. This Peter Lykins (b.1699) was the son of Hans Laican (b.1668), brother of Anders Laican (Andrew Lykins). Mary was actually the daughter of Peter Lycon (Lykins) and Sarah Jones. It was this latter Peter (b. ca. 1706) who was the son of Andrew Lykins and Anna.Thus he was the brother of Susannah Lykins Boone.
NOTE 3:
Dr. Craig stated that Christina married Israel Robeson, not Robinson.

The freeman Nils Andersson, his wife and at least four children were aboard the Eagle [Örn] when that ship left Gothenburg for New Sweden on the 2nd of February 1654. From the burial records of two surviving daughters, we learn that he came from Nya Kopparberget in Ljusnarsberg parish, Örebro län, Sweden. [See below The Swedish Settlements on the Delaware]
Nils Andersson may never have seen the new land. He probably was one of many who died at sea. When the new freemen were gathered at Tinicum Island to sign pledges of allegiance to Governor Johan Risingh, Nils Andersson’s widow signed for the family.
The widow (name unknown) soon remarried. Her second husband was Mats Hansson from Borgå, Finland, one of the leading freemen of the colony who had arrived in New Sweden in 1641 and served on Governor Risingh’s council.
In order to provide a home for his new family, Mats Hansson became the first settler on Minquas Island, an island to the north of Tinicum Island, later surveyed as 468 acres. By 1660, Mats Hansson had given half of this island to his new son-in-law, Anders Svensson Bonde, who had married Anna Nilsdotter. The island would later bear his name and became known as Boon’s Island. On 18 May 1663, Governor Petrus Stuyvesant granted patents to Mats Hansson and Anders Svensson Bonde for their halves of Minquas Island.
After the surrender of New Sweden to the Dutch in 1655, Mats Hansson from Borgå became one of the justices of the Upland Court and served in that capacity until at least 1663. Upon his death, his remaining half of Minquas Island went to his second son-in-law, Otto Ernest Cock, who received an English patent confirming his ownership on 7 May 1672.
The two youngest children of Nils Andersson were Peter Nilsson and Michel Nilsson. They ultimately settled in the woods of Shackamaxon and adopted the surname of Lyckan, meaning “a glen or clearing in the woods,” which was descriptive of their plantations. Neither Peter nor Michel could write. They signed documents with a “P” or an “M.” Among literate Swedes their surname was spelled Laijkan, Laican, Leikan and Laikan. In deeds and wills, the English scriveners used the spelling of Lakian, Lykell, Lyckan, Lykan, Likin, Lycon, Loykan, Laycon, Leycon and Laicon. Their descendants also have similar variations to the surname.
The four known children of Nils Andersson from Nya Kopparberget are:
1. Anna Nilsdotter, born in Nya Kopparberget about 1637, married Anders Svensson Bonde c. 1657 and lived her entire adult life on Minquas (later Boon’s Island), where she died in 1713. ...
2. Christina Nilsdotter, born in Nya Kopparberget c. 1639, married Otto Ernest Cock [originally spelled Koch], a Holsteiner, c. 1670, who was given half of Boon’s (former Minquas) Island. She died there in 1709. ...
3. Peter Nilsson Lyckan, probably born in Nya Kopparberget c. 1641, was married by estimation in 1663. In 1671 he lived with his young family on the Printztorp plantation, owned by Armegard Printz at the mouth of Upland Creek. Within a few years, Peter had moved with his brother Michel and Gunnar Rambo to Shackamaxon. Ultimately, in 1691, he received a patent for this land, 468½ acres.
Peter Lyckan also acquired 200 acres nearby which he called “Poor Island.” He wrote his will on 21 January
page 4 [continued from page 2]
1691/2, naming his brother Michel and his brother-in-law Otto Ernest Cock as executors. The will left 180 acres apiece to his two unmarried sons and £20 apiece to his three unmarried daughters when they reached the age of 21. He died at Shackamaxon shortly thereafter. The name of his wife has not yet been discovered.
Peter’s surviving children were:
> Nils Laican, born c. 1664, married Maria Gästenberg c. 1687. She was a daughter of Olle Nilsson alias Gästenberg. ...
> Anders Laican, born c. 1666, was married by 1695 to Anna [parents not identified]. In 1699 he sold his land at Shackamaxon and moved to Matsunk (Swedesford) on the Schuylkill on land that he rented from Måns Cock. By 1709 he had moved upriver to Manatawney (present Douglass-ville) to share land owned by his brother-in-law Måns Jones. He bought this land in 1721. He sold the same to his son-in-law Benjamin Boone in 1733. He died at Manatawney before 1740, survived by his wife Anna. They had one son, Peter Lycon, born c. 1706, who married Sarah Jones, daughter of Jonas Jones and Anne Seymour of Kingsessing and became the progenitor of the Lykins families of present West Virginia.*** They also had daughters Christina, who married Israel Robeson, a grandson of Israel Helm; Brita, who married pastor Samuel Hesselius; Anna, who never married but had a daughter; Susanna, who married the Quaker Benjamin Boone; Maria, who married Anders Ringberg, an immigrant from Sweden; and Phoebe, who married John Jones, son of Jonas Jones and Anne Seymour of Kingsessing.
> Hans Laican, born in 1668, married Gertrude Johansdotter, daughter of Johan Classon c. 1695. In 1697, he sold his land at Shackamaxon and acquired 160 acres at Pennypack in Lower Dublin Township, Philadelphia, which remained his home until his death on 19 September 1751. The land was then sold to pay off the mortgage. He had five sons and two known daughters. John Lycan, the eldest, married Elizabeth (surname unknown) and moved to Burlington County; the last report on him was the fact that he escaped from the Burlington County jail in March 1742. Peter Lycan, born in 1699, married Brita Jones in 1719, and lived for several years in Moorland township, Philadelphia, before moving to Frederick County, Virginia, where he died in 1753. Hans Lycan, Jr., remained at Pennypack and was twice married, dying in 1761. Nicholas Lycan remained with his father until the home plantation was sold and then moved to Burlington County, NJ, where he died in 1766. Andrew Lycan, the youngest son, married Jane Cahoon at Christ Church in 1730 and then moved to the Pennsylvania frontier, where he was killed by Indians in Lykens Valley, Fermanagh township, Cumberland County in 1756.
> Ingeborg Laican, born c. 1670 married Måns Jonasson [Mounce Jones], son of Jonas Nilsson, about 1690. The couple became the first Swedish settlers at Manatawney (Douglassville) in Berks County. Their children included: Margaret, born 1691, who married Marcus Huling; Peter, born 1693, who married Elisabeth [parents unknown]; Christina, born 1696; Jonas, born 1698, who married Maria Knecht; Andrew, born c. 1700, who married Dorothy Goucher; and Magdalena, who married Andrew Bird.
>Three other daughters, all unmarried, were also mentioned in Peter Laican’s will: Anna, Mallee [Magdalena] and Brita. They have not been traced.
4. Michel Nilsson Laican, born c. 1644 in Sweden, married Helena Lom in 1670. She was the daughter of Måns Svensson Lom and step-daughter of Lars Andersson Collinus of Moyamensing. Michel moved with his brother Peter to Shackamaxon, which remained his home until 1699, when he sold his lands and moved to a plantation on Woodbury Creek in Gloucester County. Although he had been named a church warden at Gloria Dei Church in 1701, he was instrumental in establishing the new Swedish church on Raccoon Creek in 1702. He was buried on 17 April 1704. ...

7. BENJAMIN BOONE (son of George3) born 16 July (O. S.)
or 27 July (N. S.) in Devonshire, England; died 14 Oct., 1762, in the
57th year of his age. (a)
Married 1st, 1726, Ann Farmer, and 2nd, Susannah ---------- (d. 5 Nov.,
1784, aged 76). (a)
He left Bradninch, England, with his parents on 17 Aug., 1717, and
from Bristol, England, sailed for America, arriving at Philadelphia 29
Sept., 1717 (or 10 Oct., N. S.). With his parents he lived for a short
time at Abington, near Philadelphia, where he later returned to claim a
bride. After settling with his father in Oley twp., Philadelphia Co.,
(now Exeter, Berks Co.), he obtained a certificate from Gwynedd Meeting
which was recorded in the minutes and reads:--
"7-27-1726, Benjamin Boone requests a certificate to Abington in order
for marriage," and
"8-25-1726, Certificate signed for Benjamin Boone."
The marriage is recorded in the Abington Meeting Records as follows:--
"8 mo. 3, 1726, Whereas Benjamin Boone and Ann Farmer having de-
clared their intention of marriage with each other before two Monthly
Meetings, Enquiry made by persons appointed and found clear from all
others on ye acct. of marriage, are left to accomplish ye same orderly."
"9 mo. 28, 1726, Report was made by ye persons appointed to attend
Benjamin Boone's marriage and it was orderly performed."
When and where Benjamin married the second wife Susannah (sur-
name unknown) has not been learned. It is probable that he married
this time out of the Quaker fold, and possibly about 1736, as at this
time he was in disfavor at Gwynedd Meeting. The Minutes give this
item:--
"2-27-1736, Benjamin Boone has not been spoken to since last Meeting."
The disfavor seems to have been dropped, as there is no further
mention of it to be found in records.

The five children by Benjamin's second wife, Susannah, were all bap-
tized 6 Aug., 1753, at St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church, Morlottan, Berks
Co., from which record the birth dates below are taken.
