Boones Mill lies about fifteen miles south of Roanoke, Virginia, midway between Roanoke and Rocky Mount, Virginia. It is a small, rural town rich in history and beautiful to visit. It was the home of many of the first settlers in Virginia, and the birthplace of many of their descendants. You will see Boones Mill mentioned many times when researching the genealogy of the Naff, Flora, Bowman, Barnhart, and innumerable other families.
On first thought, most people want to know if Boones Mill had any connection to Daniel Boone. There is a local tradition that pioneer Daniel stopped overnight in the village that became today's town of Boones Mill. This may very well be true, since Daniel probably traveled the route down the old Carolina Road, which runs about parallel with today's Route 220, but the facts are that the town is not named after Daniel.
