George Boone, Jr., who was a blacksmith, was a son of George Boone, whose wife has been identified, without substantiation, as either Ann Fallace or Joan Healle. The parents of Sarah Uppey (Uphay) have not been identified.i
The parentage of George Boone, Jr. was included in the family record of his grandson John, son of George Boone III and Mary Mogridge (Maugridge). John Boone gave the information to his nephew James Boone who compiled it in a written document which has been preserved:ii Boone Genealogy as written by James Boone March 21st, 1788.
Our GENEALOGY, or PEDIGREE; traced as far back as had come to the knowledge of JOHN BOONE (the son of George & Mary Boone): wrote by JAMES BOONE (Grandson of the said George & Mary Boone).
GEORGE BOONE, I. (that is the first that we have heard of) was born in England.
GEORGE BOONE, II. (Son of George Boone, the First) was born in or near the

City of Exeter in Devonshire; being a Blacksmith; his Wife's Maiden Name was SARAH UPPEY. He died aged 60; and she died aged 80 years, and never had an aching bone, or decay'd Tooth. -
GEORGE BOONE, III. (son of George & Sarah Boone) was born at STOAK (a Village near the City of Exeter) in A.D. 1666, being a Weaver; his Wife's Maiden Name was MARY MAUGRIDGE, who was born in BRADNINCH (eight Miles from the City of Exeter) in the Year 1669, being a Daughter of John Maugridge & Mary his Wife whose maiden Name was MILTON. They (the said George & Mary Boone) had nine Children that lived to be Men and Women: namely, George, Sarah, Squire, Mary, John, Joseph, Benjamin, James & Samuel, having each of them several Children, excepting John who was never married. The said George and Mary Boone with their Family, came from the Town of Bradninch in Devonshire, Old-England (which is a Town at 8 miles Distance from the City of Exeter, and 177 measured Miles Westward from London); they left Bradninch the 17 Aug. 1717, and went to Bristol where they took Shipping, and arrived at Philadelphia in 1717 September 19, Old-Stile, or October 10th New-Stile; three of their Children, to wit, George, Sarah & Squire they sent in a few Years before. From Philadelphia they went to Abingdon, and staid a few Months there; thence to North-Wales, and liv'd about 2 Years there; then to Oley in the same County of Philadelphia, where Sarah (being married) had moved to some Time before. This last Place of their Residence (since the Divisions made in the Township of Oley & County of Philadelphia) is called the Township of Exeter in the County of Berks: It was called Exeter, because they came from a Place near the City of Exeter. And,
He the said George Boone the Third, died on the Sixth Day of the Week, near 8 o'clock in the Morning, on the 27th of July 1744, aged 78 years; and Mary his Wife died on the 2d Day of the Week, on the 2d of February 1740-1, aged 72 years; and were decently interred in Friends Burying-Ground, in the said Township of Exeter. When he died, he left 8 Children, 52 Grand-Children, and 10 Great-Grand-Children, LIVING; in all 70, being as many Persons as the House of Jacob which came into EGYPT ...
Old Style (O.S.) refers to the use of the Julian Calendar prior to 1752 when the Gregorian Calendar was adopted by Parliament:iii
An act of Parliament was passed in 1751, prescribing the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar throughout Great Britain and her colonies; making the succeeding year begin with the first of January and dropping eleven nominal days (3-13) from the month of September, 1752, so that what would have been the third of the month was called the 14th. The Quakers at their yearly meeting adopted this method, directing the members to recognize the change of style, and decreeing that thereafter the months should be numbered beginning with January. Formerly their numbering had begun with the month called March.
:Prepared by WILLIAM G SCROGGINS 26 May 1998 : 718 Mill Valley Drive, Taylor Mill KY 410115-2278 2 GEORGE BOONE JR
The corresponding date on the current Gregorian calendar may be determined by adding eleven days to a date given in Old Style. Under the Julian calendar, the year began on 25 March which was called the 1st month by the Quakers who did not approve of the names given to the months and referred to them by numbers, a practice which they followed under the new calendar as well.iv Historians and genealogists frequently show years as in the foregoing baptismal date of John Boone for example, 1701/2, to cover the months of January, February and March which, in this instance, was at the end of 1701 under the Julian calendar and the beginning of 1702 under the Gregorian calendar.
The baptisms of three sons of George Boone and Sarah Uppey are recorded in the register of Stoke Canon Parish in Devonshire, England, along with the burials of two of them, as well as the interment of George and Sarah:v

Burials 1663/4 Feb 8 Boone Henry s of George 1695 Apr 18 Boon John 1696 May 31 Boon George 1708/9 Feb 5 Boon Sarah
Percis Boone, who married George Henton, was identified as a daughter of George and Sarah Uppey Boone in The Boone Family Record by by Maude Tate Boone.
The Stoke Canon Parish register discloses only one Boone marriage. Nicholas Boone and Mary Kelley were married there on 28 December 1669. Nicholas may have been a brother of George Boone, Jr. He and Mary Kelley had three daughters baptized at Stoke Canon: Elizabeth on 20 October 1670, Anne on 01 May 1673 and Mary on 20 September 1674. Anne was buried there on 04 September 1673, Nicholas was buried there on 09 April 1689 and Mary Kelley Boone was interred there on 25 February 1714/5. The Stoke Canon Parish register begins with the records of 1654. The records for prior years are lost. Parish registers were started in 1539. The parish register for Nether Exe, which is just north of Stoke Canon and could have been a source of Boone records, is missing for the years before 1686.vi
Stoke Canon is located in the lowlands of the beautiful rolling countryside of Devon. It is situated between the merging of the River Culm into the River Exe, about five miles north of the city of Exeter. Originally called Hrocastoc (Rooks' Farm), the village name was changed to Stoke Canon after King Athelstan granted the manor to the Exeter monastery in 938. The long and ancient bridge spanning two branches of the Culm at Stoke Canon received a legacy in the will of Bishop Stapledon in 1326.vii

As a blacksmith in Stoke Canon, George Boone, Jr. and his family were entitled to a pew in the front of their parish church and their house undoubtedly was one of the better ones in the village, perhaps similar to this description:viii
It had probably been recently remodeled, as many were during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, to have instead of just one large hall, several rooms, including a parlor, a buttery and kitchen, a hall, and a shop in which the father and his apprentices and journeymen worked at their trade.
No records of persons bearing the name Uppey have been discovered in or about Exeter, so the name Uppey could be James Boone’s phonetic spelling of the name Opie. Since the Stoke Canon burial of Sarah Boone occurred on 05 February 1708/9 and James Boone states that she died at age 80, it has been calculated that she was born about 1628. However, the wife of George Boone, Jr. may have been Sarah Opie, daughter of Nicholas and Susan Opie, who was christened on 14 May 1643 at St Andrew in Plymouth, Devonshire:ix

:Prepared by WILLIAM G SCROGGINS 26 May 1998 : 718 Mill Valley Drive, Taylor Mill KY 410115-2278 4 GEORGE BOONE JR
There was another Sarah Opie (Opy), daughter of Thomas and Sarah Opie of Plymouth, Devonshire, England, who was born about 1649.x
The names Opie and Uppey could be variations on the name Uphay which appears in the Calendar of Wills for Farringdon in 1688 and 1704. The name Uphay appears in Devon as early as 1299 when Robert Uphay (Upphaye) was mentioned “at instance of the community” in “Freemen of Exeter” under the Mayor's Court Roll, 26-27 Edward I, January 12 (1299). The records of the Archdeaconry Court of Exeter, 1630-1700, contain the following references:xi
1646 Christopher Boone Tiverton 1647 Robert Boone Churchtawton 1671 John Boone Churchstanton 1680 William Bone Faringdon 1681 Henry Bone Exeter 1681 Edith Bone Faringdon 1688 William Uphay Faringdon 1699 George Boone Bickleigh 1704 Mary Uphay Faringdon
It is not known how George Boone of Bickleigh in 1699 was related to George Boone III. Bickleigh, which is four miles north of Exeter, is four miles northwest of Bradninch where George Boone III married Mary Mogridge. Farringdon is about four miles east of Exeter.
Mary Mogridge (Maugridge) who married George Boone III was a daughter of John Mogridge and Mary Milton of Bradninch, a village about nine miles north of Exeter. Mary Mogridge was baptized in Bradninch Parish, where she and George were married:xii
1668 Mary the daughter of John Moggridge was baptized the 23 day of December 1689 George Boone married unto Mary Moggridge the 16 day of August
