Levi's great uncle (grandfather's brother) was Colonel Daniel Boone (1734-1820). Levi's great grandfather, Squire Boone Senior (1696-1765; wife Sarah Jarman Morgan) was the father of Levi's grandfather, Samuel Boone Senior (1728-1808; wife Sarah Day), as well as Col. Daniel Boone.
Dr. Boone's father-in-law was Theophilus Washington Smith, a New York City lawyer who worked in the law office of Aaron Burr, and who later removed to Illinois, where he was appointed as an Associate Justice to the Illinois Supreme Court. Smith was later impeached, but said impeachment failed to achieve a two-thirds vote in the Illinois Senate. It was said that the "real" reason behind the impeachment was Smith's refusal to allow one of his cohorts as a suitor for one of his beautiful daughters. This may well have been Levi's eventual wife Louisa Matilda, as the year was 1832, and Levi's marriage to Louisa in 1833 shows that she would have been courted by suitors around that time.
Louisa's sister, Mary Everallen Smith, married Charles Stanbery, Esq., a Columbus, Ohio, attorney who was the younger brother of Ohio's first Attorney General and later U.S. Attorney General under President Andrew Johnson, Henry Stanbery. Charles and Mary owned the property now occupied by the Columbus (Ohio) Zoo and Aquarium.
