Boney / Boonie families of Snyder County, Pennsylvania

I have spent the last several weeks working on the Boney / Boonie families of Snyder County, Pennsylvania.
My first cousin (once removed) Mary B Varner married Israel Boney and they had thirteen children.

My Ancestry Member Tree hints jumped from around 390 to 570+ after adding this family.  I have spent over three weeks trying to clear the hints on this family alone.  I have added 52 people (Boney / Boonie) to my tree.  After I clear the hints on immediate family I end up adding more people which in turn generates more new hints.  I now have over 580+ hints to work through.  At the rate I'm going this will take another month if not two.  The Boney's have proven to be a very prolific family.  Thankfully they have all (so far) pretty much stayed in the Snyder County, PA area.

Here is the family narrative report so far.  Keep in mind this is a work in progress.  Any change suggestions are most welcome.  If the death date says BEFORE and just a year that indicates that I have not yet found the actual death information.
