Hello, My names is Robert Cowan and I am a member of the Cowan and Wigton-Walker groups and recently sent the following e-mail to my list members. Because of the importance to other surnames I have decided to make this offer for a copy of James Hagy's thesis available to your group. This work is not copywrited and I would never offer any research material that was under copy protection without first obtaining permission of the author. That said, this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a rather obscure document that is well researched and footnoted. If you have southwest Virginia, east Tennessee or even Shenandoah Valley roots then I would recommend you take a serious look this thesis which gives us a wonderful look at life on the Virginia frontier just before Boone heads off for Kentucky. I had seen references to Hagy's thesis for years, but only recently was able to purchase an original copy of this work. "I have recently obtained an original copy of the following thesis which was presented to the faculty of the Department of History, East Tennessee State University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of master of arts. It was published in June 1966 as follows: CASTLE'S WOODS: FRONTIER VIRGINIA SETTLEMENT, 1769-1799 by James Hagy This is one of the most fascinating bits of research I have ever read and it is an excellent research tool for anyone with Clinch River connections which is just about all of us. It is exceptional because of its extensive foot notes which reminds me of Carolina Cradle. There is one long passage which begins, "The first settlers apparently were William Snoddy, William Cowan, John Cowan, and Patrick Porter. Others soon followed. To some extent the settlement was a family affair......... The Cowans and Porters had moved from County down in Ireland to Pennsylvania about 1726..... it goes on and on and is the same story we have all heard many times over and always either attribute it to White or family legend. Sometimes we get so used to calling something undocumented or unsubstantiated because we forgot where the original source came from. At the end of this long paragraph, Hagy gives us a real clue and suggests we look at the following: M.B. Wood to Draper, August 23, 1883, Draper MS 4C27; William Russell to Governor Harrison, September 25, 1783, in William Palmer, Calendar of Virginia State Papers and other Manuscripts, from Jan 1, 1782, to Dec. 31, 1784, p. 532, and Thomas W Carter to Draper, Draper MS 4C26 and other sources including Maxwell History and genealogy by Florence Houston and Laura Cowan Blaine. The Draper Manuscripts, Wisconsin Historical Society, Madison are cataloged by letters and numbers the C being the papers of Daniel Boone. I am not talented enough to wiggle through all of Lyman Drapers papers but I bet Laura Cooper could find what is in these two Draper conversations." I would be willing to make copies of this 140 page thesis for $25.00 which includes priority mail shipping. If anyone is interested please respond to me privately at [email protected] Thank you for your interest. Regards, Robert Cowan 525 Harrogate Rd. Matthews, North Carolina 28105

Anyone have info on c. Daniel, John, and Jim Boone from Hagerstown maryland. Had hoem made "Boone's potatoe chips" in Maryland" C. daniel migrated to Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Had "Daniel Boone's Trading Post" in 40's and 50's John stayed in Hagerstown Jim moved to Arlington Virginia Regards Dan

Someone asked about Capt. John Boone of the Anne Arundel Co. militia. This John Boone is certainly one of 2 Capt John Boones descended from Humphrey Boone, who immigrated to the Baltimore and Anne Arundel Co area of Maryland in 1661. This family has no direct relationship (at least not in this country) to "the Daniel" line that I have been able to find. This family stayed in that area for several generations - my line left there in the late 1700s for what is now West Virginia, then on to Ohio. Details on this line available on request.

Having been to the caves that bear his name, I hate to say that I have my doubts. The place is VERY commercial and expensive just to view a few pieces of bones that do not resemble anything other than some human ones........ and they have very few of them. The story goes on that his children hid his body and actually buried him on property that is currently Fort Knox...... exact location is unknown. What is on display is many "artifact" reproductions. The best part of my stop at the caves is that it was a very, very hot day and being down below the ground was a great place to cool off. Barbara Gill

Just found out there are photos of Daniel Boone's gravesite at this website - just type in Daniel Boone's name and search from there - click on the grave icon by his name - have fun. - Glenda http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/famousSearch.cgi

Hi List - I found this site while searching for more on the Squire Boone Caverns - very interesting. - Enjoy - Glenda ===================================== http://www.findagrave.com/cemeteries/3871.html Squire Boone Caverns / 2350 Squire Boone Rd. SW / Mauckport, Indiana, USA 47142 / (812) 732-8863 "Boone, Squire, Jr. b. 1744. d. 1815. Younger brother of Daniel Boone. He and his older brother, Daniel, found a cave in southern Indiana one time in 1787. One day three years later while Squire was running from Indians, he jumped for a vine and landed in the opening of the secret cave that the Indians did not know about. Since they did not find Squire, he believed the cave was holy and expressed his wish to be buried in the cave one day. Daniel and Squire were the frontiersmen who opened up what is now known as Kentucky. Of the first eight white men who dared to enter "the dark and bloody ground," as Kentucky was known in the early 1770s, only two returned alive: Daniel and Squire Boone. After his close encounter with the Indians in 1790, Squire would often return to the cave to pray, meditate and carve designs and verses of gratitude. In 1804, Squire moved his wife, Jane Van Cleve, and his daughter and four sons to the area and built a village and a gristmill. Squire spent the last 11 years of his life there - the longest he had stayed in one place. As his death neared - Squire suffered from heart failure - he built his own coffin from walnut trees growing near the cave. On his deathbed, he asked his sons to bury him in the cave where his life had been spared. On Aug. 15, 1815, Squire's four sons fulfilled their father's request. Squire was buried in his beloved cave, and a boulder sealed the entrance. More than 150 years passed while the walnut coffin decomposed in a hidden section of the cave. Squire's bones rested on the cave's floor and were gradually covered by silt. The exact whereabouts of his remains would not be known until 1973 when two guides of the cave decided to dig out the section of the cave that was filled with silt and debris and find the carvings. Instead, they found Squire himself. A new walnut coffin was crafted, and a Boone descendant knitted a shroud for the bones. Squire Boone's remains were placed in the coffin, the lid was sealed with wax and the casket was carried deep into Squire Boone Caverns. Today, the casket is on view at the end of the tour through the Squire Boone Caverns in Mauckport, Indiana and a headstone has been erected at the foot of the casket inside the cave at the end of the tour given by the cave guides. Specific Interment Location: He is buried inside the cave that bears his name.. Cause of Death: heart failure." ============================================================ P.S. I am searching ancestors and desc. of Mary BOONE (dau of George III) & John WEBB - always picking up bits and pieces along the way!

Aloha! Found this info on the site of Squire Boone Caverns located near Corydon, IN. They have a photo of his grave within the caverns on their site. ----------------------------- Squire Boone was one of the most prominent pioneers in the annals of Kentucky and Indiana history. He gained renown as an explorer, hunter, gunsmith, statesman, and minister. He helped to clear the Wilderness Road and, in his later years, was honored by Congress for his service during the Revolutionary War. Mr. Boone fought in many hand-to-hand battles, including the Battle of Fort Boonesboro. Eleven times he was wounded, taking him close to death on several occasions. It was Squire Boone and his brother, Daniel, who discovered these caverns in 1790. Squire later escaped a band of hostile Indians by hiding in the caverns. From that day on, he considered the beautiful valley by the caverns to be holy ground. He eventually settled here with his wife, four sons and their families. Onto one of the foundation stones of his mill he carved this inscription: "My God my life hath much befriended, I'll praise Him till my days are ended." Upon his death in 1815, Squire Boone was laid to rest within his beloved cave as he had requested. Mahalo! S. Viehweg Viehweg Family Homepage http://www.viehweg.org

I don't have anything on your Capt. John Boone. But, my Adin Pancoast (Quaker who m. Abigail Boone, dtr. of Wm. Boone & Sarah Lincoln) signed the Oath of Fidelity in Frederick Co., MD during the Revolution. I understand he was running guns with his wife's cousin, Daniel, and the other Boone boys. So, yes. There WAS Boone activity in MD during the Revolution and I'm sure more than one who was disowned by the church for their involvement in the effort. The Boones were originally very devout Quakers. So were the Lincolns. Mary Marshall At 12:37 PM 5/15/01 -1000, Viehweg Family wrote: >Aloha! >Checking out the Maryland State Archives and I find several Boone's. Does >anyone know of a Capt.

Aloha! Sorry, this is the only info in our family book. It was compiled in 1975. William Boone 2nd was born in 1762 and died in 1837. He married Susannah Parks in 1783. She was born in 1765 and died in 1832. They had six children, four boys and two girls. They moved to Boonesboro, Washington County, Md., about 1794 and reared their family there and died and lie buried side by side in the Dutch Reform Cemetery near Boonesboro, Maryland. Here follow their children: First, Mordicai 2nd, born 1779, died 1815, age 36; second, Daniel, born 1785; third, William 3rd, born 1781; fourth Joseph, born 1785; fifth, Charlotte, born 1783. She married Ephriam Davis, father of Elias Davis. Sixth, Sarah Boone, born 1789, died single in 1874, age 85. Note: The family have both Daniel and Joseph born in 1785. (??) Mahalo! S.

Aloha! Found this bit of history on Samuel and Sarah (Day) Boone. -------------------- Ref: Boone's Creek Baptist Church Lexington, KY History Part 1 1785-1839 Eighteen people, including Daniel Boone's brother Samuel and wife Sarah, joined together on the second Sunday of November in 1785 to form Boone's Creek Baptist Church. Also included were Boone's cousin, William Scholl, a Virginian, and his wife Lea, Robert Fryer, George Shortige, Turner Crump, John Morgan, James Hazelrigg, Kizziah Shortige, Margaret Shortige, Grace Jones, and Elizabeth Hazelrigg. Samuel Boone was born in 1728 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, which is now an affluent northern suburb of Philadelphia, and he married Sarah Day, a young Quakeress also from Pennsylvania, sometime in the mid - 1750s. At about the same time, he moved to North Carolina, settling in the Piedmont region near Salisbury, which was then the western border of the colony. Indian hostility made that an unsafe locale for white settlers, so Boone moved his young family to an older, more established part of South Carolina, thought to be somewhere in northeastern South Carolina, near or along the Congaree River. He came to Kentucky in 1779, not long before his younger brother Daniel packed up his own family and those of his closest associates and moved from Boonesboro to what they hoped was a safer spot (further from the Indians) near Cross Plains. Sarah Boone is credited with teaching her brother-in-law Daniel to read and write and it is probable that she did the same for her husband. Samuel Boone was a member of the Boone's Creek congregation for the remaining years of his life after being one of its founding members, and his children were also members, as well as his wife. He is believed to have died in 1816, and is buried on Gentry Road at Boone's Station, about a quarter of a mile from the present church site. The first recorded deacon of the church was Squire Boone, son of Samuel, who was mentioned as a deacon in 1814. It appears that there was only one active deacon in service at a time, and that he was entrusted with such funds as the church raised for any purpose. Jeremiah Vardeman, who probably succeeded David Thompson as the church's pastor, was also seemingly the first minister to be paid for his services. Leonard Bradley, son-in-law of Samuel and Sarah Boone, had difficulties staying out of personal altercations, like fist fights. He was cleared of charges brought before the church in 1799 concerning one such fight, then later that same year had some sort of disagreement with Brother George Winn, one of the most frequently mentioned leaders of the church during that period. Leonard was evidently prone to get into trouble, being suspended in 1801 by the church for drinking to excess, and it is probably, good that the minutes for 1800 are missing, since it seems likely that he would look even worse if we knew what went on that year. He subsequently moved his family, to Missouri, following several members of the Boone family although it is not known when the move happened, and it might not have been until after his father-in-law died in 1816.

The way I understand it, Michael was the son of John Waren and his wife Elizabeth. John's father likely was Richard Waren Sr. My connection is through Sarah Waren, a probable sister of John. She married my Stephen Miller on 6-30-1724 in Suffolk, Long Island NY. The Warens were from Oyster Bay, NY, and the Millers from Bedford, Westchester NY. By 1725-1730, both Stephen Miller and John Waren were in Amity township, Philadelphia county PA with the Boones. Stephen Miller's son Henry was a boyhood friend of Daniel Boone and hunted with him as a boy. Henry went to North Carolina with the Boones, but returned to PA and eventually built an iron furnace in Augusta VA. >Just curious here: can anyone identify the Michael WAREN listed below? >Reason is, I keep seeing his name in connection with the folks I'm >following, & just wonder "who" he was/his connection. > SADLER, CONRAD.
