Although not proven, Bryant Boon(e) is believed to be the son of James Boon(e) and Mary Hare. His first wife was Mary. Maiden name unknown. His second wife was Martha R. Phipps. Bryant served in the War of 1812 from Davidson Co., TN. Singer Pat Boone is a 3rd gr grandson.

The family Bible record housed at the Tennessee State Library and Archives records data of the family of Bryant Boon (Boone) and his wife Martha Phipps. Photos of the Bible record appear in the website of the Tennessee Secretary of State.
Although the photos aren’t the highest quality, there it’s clear that among the family information that’s recorded, the following is included: Bryant Boon was born December 15th 1789, Martha Boon my wife was born May the 17th Day 1800, Bryant Boon and Martha R Phipps were married on the 22d of Feby 1818, Bryant Boon (his father) Died January 21st 1837
This Bryant Boon or Boone has been assumed to have been related to the well-known Daniel Boone, although no one appears to have proof. Various sources refer to the wife of Daniel Boone as having been Rebecca Bryant, while Wikipedia calls her Rebecca Bryan.
According to a 1922 source (below), Bryant Boon or Boone “moved from North Carolina to Davidson Co., Tenn., early in the 19th century, and in 1833 removed to Graves Co., Ky.” Bryant Boon married Martha R. Phipps in Davidson County, Tennessee in 1818. They then apparently moved to Graves County, Kentucky about 1833, where he died in 1837.
Someone posting to an online forum said that the writer has a sampler made by Bryant Boon’s daughter Mary Elizabeth, which she supposedly stitched before the family moved to Kentucky. That sampler says that she was a student at “Mrs. Ellis’s Female Academy.”
A.R. Boone, a son of Bryant and Martha (Phipps) Boone wrote
"My father was born in North Carolina, emigrated to Tennessee and in 1833 came to Graves County, Ky., where he purchased and improved a farm, and where he died March, 1837. He was a plain farmer, mingled but little in politics, and neither sought nor held office, beyond that of a justice of the peace. My mother was a native of Tennessee, and was born in 1800; she died in this county in 1865."
