Squire Boone accompanied his brother, along with 30 others, eventually establishing Boonesborough, Kentucky.isville. In 1780, he brought 13 families to "Painted Stone", tract of land in Shelby County belonging to his father-in-law and established a Station (fort) there, the first permanent settlement in the county.

He served two terms in the Virginia legislature in 1789 and 1790 and was the primary sponsor of a bill to chart the city of Louisville, Kentucky.[2]ttled with his family in Harrison County, Indiana south of Corydon. There he settled with his four sons and the sons of Samuel Boone. The settlement is in what is now called Boone Township, and it began to flourish early on. Squire Boone personally acquired a large tract of land on the western edge of the township near the cave he and his brother had hid in many years earlier to evade Indians. Boone considered the cave to be sacred and decided that was where he wanted to be entombed.s religious and political statements that are still there today. Boone would also build Old Goshen Church, one of the first churches in the state. Boone also became a close friend of Harvey Heth and involved in the local politics of the area as one of the leading citizens. He was Harrison County's Justice of the peace in 1808.[5]e on his property. His remains were left undisturbed for many years but in the mid 20th century relic hunters began taking parts of his coffin and even some of his bones. His coffin was then moved deeper into the cave where it resides today, at the end of the tour of Squire Boone Caverns.
