Biography
Thomas Boon[1][2][3] was born about 1648 in England.[4][5] But how do we know that this baptism refers to the migrant to Virginia?
Thomas Boon Immigrant: Died 1723 Isle of Wight Co., Virginia and 1,000 of His Descendants, Studio City, CA, 1981.
Thomas settled in Isle of Wight County, Virginia in about 1663[4].
- Others say he came in 1653.[6]
Cavaliers and Pioneers Volume I mentions that Major David Cant received 100 acres of land for transporting 2 people in October of 1663, one of which was Thomas Boon. [7]
Thomas received a patent of land on May 1, 1668, making him one of the original land owners in Isle of Wight County.[4] He married Elizabeth Strickland in about 1684.
- Some sources say that his wife was Elizabeth Ratcliffe, but this is believed to be erroneous.
Land deeds have linked Thomas Boon and his wife Elizabeth to Matthew Strickland (her father).[8] Thomas and Elizabeth had at least 7 children together: William, Thomas, Nicholas, Joseph, James, Martha, and Ratcliff. It is uncertain whether Francis and John are sons or grandsons of Thomas and Elizabeth.
On December 8, 1702, Thomas paid 1,200 pounds of tobacco to Matthew Strickland for 300 acres of land in Isle of Wight County. This Matthew Strickland is the brother to Thomas's wife Elizabeth.[4]
On May 7, 1706, Thomas paid 10,000 pounds of tobacco to William and Olive Strickland for 360 acres of land on the Blackwater River. This land was part of Matthew Strickland's 1680 land patent of 1,803 acres.[4] William Strickland was Elizabeth Strickland's brother, and the deed mentions that this land originally belonged to "his father Matthew Strickland."
On October 28, 1723, Thomas and Elizabeth Boon are mentioned in a land deed concerning Matthew Strickland's original land patent of 1,803 acres of land. This deed said that this land belonged to "my father Matthew Strickland."[8]
Thomas Boon died after October 28, 1723 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia.[4]
Research Notes
Note on Marriage
Thomas Boon of Isle of Wight Co., Virginia did NOT MARRY Elizabeth Ratcliff (b. August 21, 1668) (the d/o Richard Ratcliff). This family of Ratcliff were Quakers and our Thomas Boon was NOT. The daughter of Richard Ratcliff married James Jordon (b. Nov 23, 1665) on March 3, 1688 and had two children. Elizabeth (Ratcliff) Jordon died in June 1695.[11]
- Then why did he name one of his children Ratcliff?

NOTE: Rupert Farnham Thomspon descends from my grandmother's sister, Eugenia (Boon) Farnham. He and I worked together on much of the book he wrote and he dedicated the first copy of the book to me.
After checking the site below, I would love to hear from the project members. From what I've found out so far, This Thomas did NOT marry a Ratcliff. I show his wife to be Elizabeth Strickland who he would have married about 1680 in Virginia.

Right now this profile has him 15 when he arrives in the colonies, but then, somehow goes back to England to marry when he is 31, has his only child 17 years later???? IF you want help, I am willing to help with this profile. The key is that this lineage is NOT part of the same lineage as Daniel Boone
