From the biography of Thompson Boney from the Historical Encyclopedia of Rock Island County:
“...a son of Joseph and Rachel (McKim) Boney; a grandson of John and Eunice (Doty) Boney; and a great-grandson of Joseph Boney, the last named having come to America from England prior to the Revolutionary War, in which he took part.
Grandfather John Boney spent his life in Armstrong county, Pa., where he followed an agricultural life. His children were: Joseph, William, John, James, and several daughters. The eldest son, Joseph Boney, was born in Armstrong County, May 16, 1796. His entire life was given to the pursuits of agriculture. In the fall of 1855 he came with his family to Rock Island County, Ill., and in the following spring he settled on the farm in Buffalo Prairie township which his son now owns. Here he died February 28, 1872, a man respected by all who knew him. He was married in Armstrong County, to Rachel McKim, who was born there November 23, 1803, and died in Illinois September 5, 1884. They were devout Christians, being members of the Episcopal church.”
