Married: 28 SEP 1726 in Abington, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Ann Farmer
BOONE, BENJAMIN, Exeter.
January 5, 1762. October 27, 1762.
Provides for wife Susanna.
To son Benjamin, that part of my tract of land in Exeter called "the old place." To youngest son Samuel, the remainder of tract called "the new place." The whole to be equally divided.
To son James, all my tract of land in Amity.
To 3 sons all moveable estate.
To Dinah £100 at 15.
To eldest son John 5 shillings.
Exrs: Benjamin, James and Saml.
Letters to Jas. and Saml. and Benjamin being now in N. Carolina.
Wit: Thos. WAREN and Sarah WAREN.
Beginning of will (already attached to this memorial page) gives a probate date of 5 Jan 1762
Last page of will shows the will's reading date was 17 Oct 1762
Both dates allow one to infer the death date as before 5 Jan 1762. I've seen Quaker records which also report his death as 17 Oct 1762 but the written will (for me) provide the better source.

Benjamin Boone is not known to be buried in the Exeter Friends Cemetery. He married out of the Quaker faith when he married his 2nd wife, and their children were baptized at St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church in Douglassville, Amity Twp. It is believed that he was buried on family land, but the exact location is unknown.
