Samuel Boone's father was Robert Boone, born June 27, 1823 in Cane River, Yancey County and died March 15,1907 in Boonford, N C. Samuel's mother was Naomi, (Omy) Howell Boone. Robert and his wife Naomi are buried at an old cemetery without any marking or designation as a cemetery just off the road in Wing (Squally)across the road from the old Hosea Willis homeplace. On February 27,1847 Robert joined Company D, First Regiment of Foot Volunteers (Yancey Rangers)in the War between the United States and the Republic of Mexico. On March 15th the regiment reached Brazos Island off the coast of Mexico at the mouth of the Rio Grande River. The regiment was given the duty of transporting supplies to the front and up the river and overland for a distance of 280 miles. The last major battle of the war was at Buena Vista in February, 1848. By that time 172 of the 1,000 men in the 1st regiment had died, most of them of diarrhea. 14 of these fatalities were from Yancey Rangers. A treaty was ratified on June 19, 1848 and the troops began their weary way home. The Yancey Rangers left Brazos Island on the schooner, Major Barbour, on June 28 and sailed to New Orleans arriving there on July 2nd. It is believed that they sailed from there to North Carolina since they mustered out at Smithfield just east of Raleigh on August 7th. According to the North Carolina Troups records of 1861-1865 Robert enlisted in Alamance County, Company E, 6 N C Infantry, CSA, for the Civil War on June 17, 1861 at age of 36. He deserted the troops on April 11, 1863 and headed for home to help make a family garden and harvested it to feed his family. He later rejoined the troops on November 25, 1863. During the war he was captured near Petersburg, Virginia on March 25, 1865,during the Battle of Fort Stedman. He was confined at Point Lookout, Maryland until released on June 22, 1865 after taking the oath of Allegiance. At age 58 according to the 1880 census records he was listed as a blacksmith by trade. Children of Robert and Naomi Boone were: Samuel, Mary, Manda, James, Joseph, Delilah, Stonewall, Mary Bell, Elisabeth and Mary.
