Did they live near Birdsboro? That's where the Boone homestesd is located. It's not far from where I live. Reading would be the largest city near Birdsboro.

🀣 My dad is always teasing me, because he'll be sitting in the living room, and I'll be in the kitchen, so he'll ask me to bring him his water cup, and I'll be talking and talking, (I do that a lot...πŸ˜¬πŸ˜‚) and I tend to forget what I'm doing when I'm talking, and so I'll walk into the living room with the water...and hand it to my mom. πŸ˜‚ She'll look at the water, then look at me with a confused look. And my dad is just laughing so hard! 🀣 I do that ALL the time. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€£
