The following transcribed document makes a fairly persuasive case for Joseph Boone being a son of William and Susanna (Parks) Boone of Boonsboro, Washington County, Maryland. While he isn't called their son in this document, he is named with the other known children of William and Susanna, and he is called one of their heirs.
If Joseph is indeed their son, then this is a real addition to the genealogy of the Boone family, because he wasn't listed as a child of theirs in Spraker's book, or in the Boone-L database.
