6. | John Boon was born on 16 Jul 1755 in VA (son of Jacob Boon and Catherine Boon); died on 27 Jan 1837 in Guilford Co NC. Notes:
John Boon/Boone was born July 16, 1755 in Virginia to Jacob and Catherine Boon. We have a copy of his will in which he named his children. He gave slaves and tracts of land to his sons. He gave the same to his youngest son, Caleb, along with money to be put to interest and used for his clothing and education when he came of age. Caleb was thirteen years old at the time.
John fought in the Revolutionary War and applied for a pension in 1833, being 78 years old at the time. His first service was from Rowan County, North Carolina in 1774. The Cherokee Nation of Indians were taking up arms and murdering the settlers.
The group Boon was with intercepted those who were providing the Indians with arms and ammunition. They marched to a place called Ninety Six in South Carolina, where they learned that wagons with ammunition for the Indians had recently passed. They caught the Indians and took the wagons, one loaded with powder and two loaded with lead. The men with the wagons ran when Boon and his men approached and one of them fell into the river. He couldn't come out, so Colonel Polk went in after him.
When they returned home, John had spent three months and suffered greatly from the cold. Many of the men had died and most everyone was frost bitten wading home through the deep snow.
His next service was in March 1775. He was drafted to serve under John Barringer. After they organized, they marched to Fayetville to subdue the Scotch who were in favor of the British. When they got to their destination, they learned the Scotch had dispersed and separated, so Boon and his men went home and were dismissed.
His next service was in 1776. He volunteered and was in charge of pack horses. They went to a place called Mulberry Bottom and had a skirmish with some Indians. He assisted in burning Indian towns and supplies. In 1788, he joined the Minute Men. They were held in readiness to march at a moment's notice to save frontier families being massacred by the Indians.
This information was taken from the pension application of John Boon dated November 1833, after the close of the war, Guilford County, North Carolina.
John Boon married Anne Montgomery July, 1832 in Guilford County, N.C. She was his third wife. The other wives were Elizabeth Barringer, daughter of John Barringer that Boon served under during the war, and Anna Starnes, mother of Ann. Anna Boon was allowed 160 acres of bounty land because of her husband's service in the war.
John Boon's daughter, Ann, born September 9,1797, married Elisha Flack and was the great grandmother of Solomon Jocephas Carrell. He was the father of Vera, Wilma and Thelma.

8. | Thomas Flack was born in 1735 (son of James Flack and Ann McDowell Baxter); died in 1783 in Guilford Co NC. Notes:
THOMAS FLACK (1735-1782) and JANE McCUISTION (1735-1802).
Extracts from the Book "The Forest City Lynching of 1900" by J Timothy Cole.
Thomas Flack of Guilford obtained a grant from Lord Granville for 181 acres along the Walnut Branch in Rowan County (now Guilford) in 1761 and operated a grist and saw mill on or near these Lands.
He was an early member of Buffalo Presbyterian Church, and 'Rankin's History' refers to him as "a young man" at the time of his arrival. Buffalo Prebyterian was established by Scots-Irish who were part of the Nottingham Coloney that purchased a large tract of land (over 20,000 acres) on Buffalo and Reedy Fork Creeks and were among the first settlers of present day Guilford in the early 1750's.
Probably soon after his arrival in Rowan/Guilford Thomas Flack married Jane (or Jean) McQuistion/McQuiston (1735-1802), the daughter of one of the original Nottingham colonists, James McQuiston (1700-1766) who was born in County Derry, Ireland, and received a Granville land grant along the Reedy Fork in 1753. Thomas Flack witnessed James McQuistons will which was proven in Rowan court in 1766.
James McQuiston also had (possibly) a brother Robert, and Thomas Flack also witnessed Robert McQuistons will, proven in Rowan Court in 1766.
Thomas Flack was a Patriot of some note and was active as a leader in the Regulation Movement or 1770-71, he was apparently implicated with the Hillsborough mob that attacked the infamous Tory Edmund Fanning, demolishing his house and brutally whipping him. Evidence also shows it's quite possible he was present at the battle of Alamance.
Later during the revolution, Thomas Flack served as Captain and commanded a company in a Guilford Militia regiment led by Col. James Martin. Surviving Revolutionary War account books indicate that he participated in expeditions to Cross Creek (now Fayetteville) and Wilmington in early 1776 and he was possibly at the Battle of Moore's Creek.
Thomas Flack and wife Jane sold their Walnut Branch tract of land in 1773 to a John Chambers.
In August 1778, a 300 acre Guilford land warrant was applied for by "Jane Flack, WIDOW", for the lands upon which Thomas Flack had "formerly lived ... including an improvement whereon the said Thomas Flack had a grist and saw mill". This grant was issued to Jane Flack in 1783.
