Married Charity ELLEDGE 1794 – 1878 on 1 Sep 1818 in Kentucky; parents of:

"On the old Joel Claywell farm, two and a half miles southwest of Winchester, in an unkempt and overgrown plot remote from any road, is another of the lost burying grounds of the Boone kin. Here, where "heaves of the turf in many a moldering heap," lie the rude forefathers of that early settlement. Here in graves, some of them unmarked and wholly lost, sleep numerous of the descendants of Charity and Mary Boone, daughters of Edward. Weathered stones still standing at some of the graves tell the story of these Boone burials.
Beneath a stone that is yet standing and on which the inscription is still traceable, lies the first born of Old Preacher Elledge's children, the daughter Charity, born in Kentucky in 1795, who came as a young bride to the Sangamo coutry when the tepees of the Indians still stood along the Mauvaisterre. She lived until 1878, dying at the age of 83, a pioneer of the first settlement, a granddaughter of the pioneering Boones. Beside her lies her husband, Jesse Bryan Scholl, a son of Mary Boone and a grandson of Edward. He was buried there in 1859."
Burial in the old Claywell Burying Ground, southwest of Winchester; per The Jess M. Thompson Pike County history : as printed in installments in the Pike County republican, Pittsfield, Illinois, 1935
