Later they moved to the northwestern frontier hamlet of North Wales, a Welsh community which, a few years previously, had turned Quaker.

Sarah Boone married a German named Jacob Stover, who had settled in Oley Township, Berks County.

In 1718 George Boone took up four hundred acres in Oley, or, to be exact, in the subdivision later called Exeter, and there he lived in his log cabin until 1744, when he died at the age of seventy-eight.

He left eight children, fifty-two grandchildren, and ten greatgrandchildren, seventy descendants in all--English, German, Welsh, and Scotch-Irish blended into one family of Americans.
