During our research on the Boone Family of America we accumulated adequate data to publish a standalone version for the Virginia Boone Family Immigrants. We also incorporated the necessary allied and collateral families in order to present the best possible opportunity for descendants to connect with some surety of accuracy. The Virginia Boone Family we identify as the Isle of Wight (IOW) Boone family branch, knowing that DNA test results prove the two lines are not close relatives and probably did not originate in the same geographical areas. Our goal was to prevent conflation of Pennsylvania and South Carolina Boone families, and the mixing thereof with or into the Virginia Boone family. We finally proved members of each branch living in close proximity in both North Carolina and Kentucky. It was at that point (early 1800s) we knew we could not expand our researcher efforts any further, which necessarily entails onsite research. We also keyed in on several landed gentry families in this book.
