Bone Family Genealogy Forum
  
"William Bone IV was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1744. When he was about ten, he moved with his father and brothers and sisters to Rowan County, North Carolina. It is said that he served in the American Revolution. On March 10, 1781, he married Elizabeth Potts of Salsbury District of Rowan County. They had nine children all of whom, with the exception of James, had moved west before 1820. When William IV died on July 7, 1828, his will gave most of the land and the "mansion house" to his son James (1790-1874). The tax records indicate that William IV was a large land-owner. After his death, his widow Elizabeth lived with James until 1833. In that year, her son, William V of Dickson Co., TN took his mother to visit him and his sisters in [western] Tennessee." That information is contained in Dr. R. G. Bone's book on the family. There is no mention of trade.
