Hi Mark, I'm sure a dozen people have told you by now that Daniel Morgan Boone was a son of Rebecca Bryan and Daniel Boone the well known pioneer and American hero. Daniel and Rebecca Bryan Boone were my 4X great grandparents and Daniel Morgan and Sarah Griffin Lewis Boone were my 3X great grandparents. I have never heard that THE Daniel had any middle name. I suggest that you subscribe to Zumwalt and Jump lists also. You have found more cousins than you can imagine here, but the Zumwalts will add even more! Happy hunting! Geraldine Ingersoll<Willard Bowman Ingersoll<Minnie Boone<Theodore Warner Boone<Daniel Boone<Daniel Morgan Boone<Daniel and Rebecca Bryan Boone my name is Mark I am new to this list and relatively new to genealogy research. I would like to introduce myself and give some background as to the reason I am researching the boone line. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ l will trace back to Daniel Morgan Boone b.10,22,1734 and Rebecca Bryan b.08 /14/1756..

So I am asking anyone who knows were to find the documentation I need to please pass this information along to me, I understand that publications, censes and documents are considered verifiable sources.... Also I am looking for anything on Rebecca Starr she is the mother of Huldah Belle Zumwalt, Huldah was the wife of George Washington Jump, it is said that Rebecca abandaned her husband Benjamin Zumwalt and their young children..

Hi Booners, Got this from the Linn County OR list. Thought you might find it interesting or useful. I have not searched for Boones on it, but I'm sure all of us may have a relative or two in the records. Geraldine Ingersoll, Director Boone Society, Inc We would like to invite you to re-visit our website, The POORHOUSE STORY (a clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses) at http://www.poorhousestory.com We just posted some notes from a reader, Linda Ivers, about the location of a poorhouse in LINN County. We currently have much less information about the county poorhouses in Oregon than we would like to have. I anyone can provide more information it will be greatly appreciated. If you would like to visit our site-- DIRECTIONS: At the homepage (link above) click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then on OTHER STATES, then on OREGON on the table of states. (NOTE: If you have visited the site recently, you may have to click on REFRESH on your browser to see the new information.) There are other pages on the site which may give you some interesting perspective on poorhouses. They are off the homepage and include: the HISTORY page and the LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS as well as FEATURED ARTICLES. There are great tips for researching poorhouse records for yourself on the RECORDS page; and you might want to subscribe to our (almost) monthly newletter (which you can do in the lower right corner of the homepage). The information on our site will only grow through the submissions of generous readers. If you would like to e-mail me ... please do so off-list because I cannot maintain subscriptions to as many lists as we post messages on. (You can use an e-mail link off one of our web pages.) We hope you enjoy the site! Thanks, Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)

>From the Austin TX newspaper of August 5, 2001: David Ray Boone, age 47, descendant of Daniel Boone (no foolin' pardner) galloped off into eternity on Saturday, July 28, 2001. He was preceded into glory by his pa, James Ray Boone, of Tompkinsville, KY. (Where else would a real Boone be born?) No one else dared precede David in anything! Barely surviving are his ma, Catherine L. Boone, his honey bunch, Sandra, and the two prettiest gals west or east of the Mississippi, Melissa and Alicia. His highly unorthodox memorial service was held on his homestead Friday, August 3, 2001. He'll be sorely missed, but refuses to be forgotten. God's Good! Keep on riding David! WASN'T that a great obit!?!?! and there's a picture of him in an old west outfit with a gun and ammo belt across his chest. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

This John also married a Rebecca Bryan (she may be the sister?? to a Sarah Bryan who married Samuel Bailey, this is my line). Thought to be kin to Daniel's wife Rebecca, but not sure how. At one time, it was thought that John's wife was the daughter of Morgan Bryan, but that had been disproved for some time. > 1783 [Based on an interview in the Draper Papers,see microfilm > reel C,chapter 19,pages 120 through 154.] "Jonathan Boone arrived > Kentucky as early as 1783,tended Squire Boone's Mill,- after a few > years he settled on the Green River,moved to the Big Falls on the >Wabash,Near Mt Carmel,Wabash co.

I used to fish on the Wabash River, just a few miles south of Mt. Carmel (I have lived in this area all of my life). Spraker gives the description (paraphrasing) as about 15 miles north of the mouth of the Wabash. The description does not fit the area. Mt Carmel is more like 50 miles north of the mouth of the Wabash River (where it meets the Ohio). The description is the Little Wabash River, from where it meets the Wabash River.

Boone/George Daniel Boone On August 24, 1814, two deeds were filed for the same land. One in Gallatin County, and one in White County. I think the confusion about Jonathan and Joseph Boone was because of these deeds. One was filed in Joseph's name and the other in Jonathan's. This was probably done for 2 reasons, first, the boundary between White and Gallatin had not been settled at that time. Second, because of the deed problems that Daniel had in Kentucky, they were not going to risk losing this property because of a deed not filed in the correct county.

Here's the last of this series. --------------- In 1808 Daniel Boone, who had moved west to Missouri in 1799, sent an invitation to Stoner to come visit him at his new home at Femme Osage near the mouth of the Missouri River. Stoner liked the idea so much that not only did he want to come visit; he wanted to move there permanently. Kentucky was becoming too crowded for him. However, he could not persuade his wife to move, so he left alone Late in the summer of 1810 Stoner arrived at Boone's cabin. His intent was to hunt and explore the Upper Missouri. Boone, in temporary remission from the rheumatism that had plagued him in his old age, could not resist the temptation to join the expedition and so, off they went early that Fall, with some younger relatives of Boone's along to give support. Boone was 76 years old in 1810 and Stoner was 62. Boone's rheumatism returned and he had to turn back after six months. However, he brought back the best catch of his long career as a professional hunter and trapper. Stoner kept on going. He went 1600 miles up the M issouri, far beyond any habitation. Part of the time he was alone; part of the time he was with company. For a period of four or five months he saw no Whites at all. According to records left by Stoner's son, they went "high up the Missouri trapping" and, according to at least one person in the party, they made it as far as the Yellowstone River where it joins the Missouri on the present northeastern Montana-North Dakota border. It must have been the trip of their lives! Coming back downriver, he stopped once again to visit Boone. Then he returned, after an absence of two years, to his home in Kentucky. That trip was his last hunt. Michael Stoner died September 3, 1815. He was 67 years old. His remains were buried near Monticello, Wayne County, Kentucky, where his grave is marked only with a crude stone. Three of the Stoner children as well as one grandson married Boone descendents and had large families of their own. One of their sons, Dr. Michael Lower Stoner, born about 1798, was a framer of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Author's note and question: why is there so little mention in the history books of a man who did so much? Three causes come to mind which, put together, would assure obscurity for anyone not obsessed with getting his name before the public. First, I am pretty sure Michael Stoner was illiterate; he could not write, at least not in English. Thus, he would be entirely dependent on others to leave written record of his presence. Second, being illiterate would have prevented him from rising to many positions of leadership. He would not be able to keep log books and records, which would keep him from most managerial positions. This would help guarantee his obscurity. His friend Daniel Boone, by contrast, was fairly literate for the time; he could read and write. True, his spellings were quite imaginative, but, that was not unusual at that time. But, then, Simon Kenton was no great reader and writer either. That probably prevented his rise to leadership anywhere but on the battlefield, but even casual students of early American frontier history know of his exploits. Why not Stoner? Third, we have the prejudices of the chroniclers of the time. Stoner was a "Dutchman". He spoke with a heavy German accent his entire life. True, he was born in Pennsylvania, but he was of German-American background. During the Colonial-Revolutionary War period, the strongest ethnic slur routinely heard in Anglo-America was damned Dutchman. The first person on record to have uttered this oath was John Smith at Jamestown. He was referring to a small group of German glassmakers that had come with the Jamestown company. They (the glassmakers) had been trying to make friends with the Indians and Smith did not like it. Anglo-Americans during the Colonial and Revolutionary period felt threatened by German-American ethnicity. Coming closer to Stoner's time, we only have to look into the writings of a founding father as prominent as Benjamin Franklin to find comments about German Pennsylvanians that are borderline pathological in their dislike. Frontier people, almost as often targets of eastern establishment disdain and contempt as "Dutchmen", seemed not to share this prejudice, at least not as strongly. But frontier people often were not the writers of their own exploits. The early writers, like John Filson, the first person to write the exploits of Daniel Boone, were easterners and had eastern prejudices. They would not be interested in writing the exploits of any "damned Dutchmen". That, in this writer's opinion, is the main reason for Michael Stoner's obscurity today. Present day historians are still influenced, knowingly or not, by the works of their predecessors. If the early writers ignored the works of certain peoples, then "they never happened".

That was where the British lost their paramount weapons researcher, Major Patrick Ferguson. He was commander of the loyalist troops trapped on King's Mountain and virtually annihilated by an American force composed almost entirely of Virginia and Carolina frontiersmen. 400 of the original 1200 loyalists lived to surrender after a sniper cut Major Ferguson down. An ironic footnote to this incident was that Ferguson, an extraordinary marksman himself as well as the inventor of the first breech-loading flintlock rifle used in England, had specifically been assigned to kill George Washington at the battle of Germantown, by sniping him across the battlefield. Ferguson found Washington and had him in his sights, but, not being able to believe that a general officer would dress so casually, he concluded that his target could not! be Washington and held his fire. Later, in 1782, Stoner was wounded in the Battle of Blue Licks, in present day central Kentucky. This battle is often cited as the last engagement of the Revolutionary War. It was the end of the last British campaign in the West. It involved a force of 600 from north of the Ohio, including fifty British Regulars under Captain Wm. Caldwell. The rest of the army consisted of Indians from the various Ohio Nations. Among their leaders was the notorious Simon Girty. The invaders crossed the Ohio in late August or early September and proceeded without being detected to The Blue Licks (a salt spring or seep long used by both humans and animals as a salt source) on the Licking River in Kentucky. There, about 350 of the force set itself up in camp while the remaining 250, including the 50 Redcoats, proceeded further inland and attacked Bryan's Station. Various militia groups, totaling some 180 or so men assembled in Lexington and came to reinforce the Station only to find the be! siegers gone. Convinced by the British presence that they were chasing the entire invading force, the Kentuckians went in pursuit, following them back to their main camp at The Blue Licks. Charging across the Licking River into what they thought to be the camp of a force approximately the same size as theirs, The Kentuckians ran into an ambush that dealt them their most severe defeat in their long Border War with the Ohio Indian Nations. Seventy two of the Kentuckians were killed in that battle. The Indians, for it was largely and Indian action, lost only three, and four others were slightly wounded. The remaining Kentuckians fled back across the Licking River in panic. Stoner was wounded early on in the fight and fell from his horse. He hid in the bushes until the day after the battle, when he was rescued by militia reinforcements under Col. Benjamin Logan. Logan arrived a day too late to help the Kentuckians; they knew he was coming with several hundred men, but, instead of waiting for him, they resorted to their usual tactic of a head-on charge into the fray immediately after first contact with the enemy. Stoner later participated in various campaigns up into the Ohio country that were part of the Indian wars that raged across the eastern United States following the Revolutionary War. These conflicts have traditionally been granted only a few paragraphs in most general American History books. Reexamination of these times shows them to be part of a pivotal era in American history. This was when national policies and attitudes developed that have directed every aspect of United States' expansion, even to the present day. Specifically, Stoner campaigned with Capt. Wm. Hardin, and Colonel Logan in 1786 on a successful raid against the Shawnees made possible by the diversion of George Rogers Clark's campaign against the Miami. It is also thought that he went out with his uncle, now Colonel Wm. Bush, on Harmar's fruitless campaign against the Miamis led by Little Turtle in September, 1790. Harmar and his force of more than fourteen hundred men were ambushed and soundly defeated near the ruins of the magnificent Indian town of Kekionga, which had been at the headwaters of the Maumee River in what is now northeastern Indiana. In around 1786, Stoner was married to Frances Tribble, born in 1769, daughter of Reverend Andrew Tribble and his wife, Sarah Ann Burris. Stoner was 38 years old; his wife was 17. After the marriage, the Stoners settled in what is now Clark County, Kentucky five miles southeast of the town of Winchester. Their first child, George Washington Stoner, was born there. In 1797, they moved to the Cumberland River area in Pulaski County, and later to Wayne County, near Monticello, Kentucky. Stoner's Fork of the Licking River was named after him because of his making pre-emption and settlement on that stream at a place about five miles south of present Paris, Kentucky. ------------- Larry -- Larry DeFrance, Helena Montana USA Caretaker: The DeFrance Family Home Page - http://www.helenet.com/~larry/fam_home.html The DeFrance Mailing List - [email protected], The Susquehanna River Mailing List - [email protected] Co-Caretaker: The Boone Mailing list - [email protected]
