There are so many copies of Spraker's work out "there" now, I thought I'd add to some of the corrections that can be made - this is part of a letter written to another correspondent. Kathryn ================================ I think some of your Bryan dates must have come from Spraker, who did great work, but (understandably) missed in several places, at least on the Bryans. William Bryan's will is dated May 23, 1780, which is the day he was wounded, according to his son Daniel to Draper, and he died on May 30 "the eighth day after". George Bryan was Spraker's source of "May 7", and he was a nephew, whose memory for dates may not have been quite as good, nor was he quite as directly connected. William's will is witnessed by Wm. Grant, Sam'l Boone, and Joseph Bryan. William, Jr. actually died in March, the 10th. He was out hunting with a friend and was shot & died immed, while the other young man was chased six miles to the station. This is described by Daniel B. Bryan [brother], George Bryan [cousin] and in the account book of [I think] Morgan Bryan-2 which is at the Presbyterian files in PA, but copy in Bryan's Station Heroes & Heroines. William Junior had died about six or seven weeks prior to his father. Mary Boone Bryan lost a son in December 1779, a son in March, another son in April, and her husband in May 1780. Plus a brother in October, and countless friends & near-kin. She had a _really_ bad year. I think of that when I'm havin' a pity-party. As far as Capt John Bryan(t) who was shot by Fanning 1782 -- well, there is a whole bunch of controversy over "which John Bryan", so I'd put "questionable" or even "unlikely" beside the story if you are connecting it to John Bryan son of Morgan-1, from what I've seen so far, but it isn't my direct line, so, what do I know???/....

Hi list, I am looking for any one researching the folloeing familes... John Masterson Lucy Masterson John Wilcoxson Daniel Wilcoxson Cassandra Boone thanks, sandy

Another brick wall. I haven't posted this for awhile so here goes. Looking for parents and ancestors of these two. Reference from Boykin's Marriages of Wilson County North Carolina 1855-1899, p.119 Boon, Lenard to Linda May Finch. Marriage performed by Peter Eatman, J.P., on April 3, 1867 In the census after their marriage (1870) they are not in this county although the oldest son lists Wilson,NC as his birthplace in 1870. Any ideas? Anyone look familiar? I have checked census for NC and Georgia where the two sons eventually married and lived.

Greeting to the List: I have been away from the list for many months, but am back again. Does anyone know anything about a Boon/Boone family with a son named Elisha Boone? Elisha married Aylsey Unknown, and he had a brother Josiah and a sister Eliza. Elisha was living in Nash County, and had a son Anderson Boon. Elisha's father (unnamed) was living in Monroe Co. KY in 1824 at age 67 years. (some of this from Spraker) If this is the correct family, then my Anderson Boon married Lucinda ???? and they moved to Tennessee about 1825 Anderson would have been born abt 1808. By 1830 Anderson was in Lincoln Co. TN with his wife and family, There seems to also be an older Boon named James with them or very close by.. In 1840- he was in Marshall Co. TN living at Lewisburg and by 1860 he was in Obion Co. TN at the west end of the state. (Marshall Co. was made from Lincoln Co. so evidently they stayed in Lewisberg, but the county name changed. If you know anything about Boon/Boone family in Nash Co. NC before 1825 please contact me. I am trying to connect this family to one of the three main Boone lines in US.

Can anyone identify the Joseph Boone of Northumberland and later Clearfield Co., PA who is mentioned repeatedly in the following article from Egle's Notes and Queries? [Source: from Egle, William Henry. "Notes and Queries: Historical, Biographical and Genealogical: Relating Chiefly to Interior Pennsylvania." Annual Volume 1897, Vol. XXIII. (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc. 1970), page 129. Reproduced on Broderbund Software's Family Archive CD #19 (Genealogical Records: Egle's Notes and Queries of Pennsylvania, 1700s-1800s)] Excerpts from "DR. SAMUEL COLEMAN. First Resident Physician of Clearfield County--His Strange History": "Dr. Samuel Coleman was the first resident physician of Clearfield County...Coleman probably came as early as 1804, as he first appears on the assessment list of Loyalsock in 1805...While in Williamsport he lived with the family of Joseph Boone. Mrs. Ellen Winter (a Boone) was a lady of some distinction there. She was a cousin of Joseph Boone, also a resident of Williamsport. The Boones originally came from Berks County. Joseph was probably a brother of the brave Hawkins Boone, who was killed at the battle of Fort Freeland, July 29, 1779. This surmise is based on the fact that Hawkins Boone had taken up a tract of land lying on the east side of Lycoming Creek (now a part of Williamsport), on which Joseph Boone afterwards lived for a short time. His name appears on the assessment list of Loyalsock Township as early as 1806... "It was on account of his association with the Boone family, no doubt, that Dr. Coleman was induced to settle in Clearfield County. Boone had a strange history also. It is related that while he was serving as sheriff of Washington (?) That the celebrated John Nicholson was arrested and placed in his charge. He escaped and Boone and his sureties became liable. Some time afterwards Boone met Nicholson in Philadelphia, who, in order to reimburse Boone for his losses, transferred to him and his bondsmen several tracts of wild land in Clearfield county. These tracts were a part of one thousand acres surveyed in the name of Philip Mecklin and Robert E. Griffith on warrant no. 5,953, March 19, 1805. Boone and his friends then settled on this land and commenced making improvements. It laid in Pike Township at that time, but in Penn now..." The article goes on to quote the will of Dr. Coleman, abstracted here: Will of Samuel Coleman, signed April 29, 1819, probated May 20, 1819 On record in Bellefonte in Book A, page 137. Land to Priscilla Boone, the wife of Joseph Boone; to Joseph Boone, Jr; and to the children of Joseph and Priscilla Boone. Personal property to Henry Boone, son of Joseph and Priscilla; Joseph Boone the younger; Mary Boone, daughter of Joseph and Priscilla; and Adalina and Eliza Boone. Executors: Joseph Boone of Pike township and David Ferguson. "Joseph Boone moved his family from Williamsport in a canoe in 1809, and settled near the cabin of Thomas McClure, who had emigrated from Cumberland county in 1799...Boone was a man of some education and showed a spirit of enterprize. He commenced the erection of a mill on Bell's Creek, but was unable to finish it on account of lack of means. He finally took up his residence near the town of Clearfield, and in 1812 was appointed clerk to the board of county commissioners and served in that capacity until 1820. In 1827 he was appointed prothonotary and filled the office until 1836. He died in 1837, and his widow, Priscilla, administered on his estate. Descendants still live in the county. The most friendly relations existed between the Boones and the pioneer physician, which is shown in his remembrance of all the members of the family in his will."

Thought this may be of interest to someone. It came from another list: Olympia, Thurston County, Washington Saturday, February 17, 1906 Olympia Chronicle Orven BOONE died in this city last Thursday after a lingering illness. Two years ago he came to Olympia for his health. He was 35 years old and leaves a wife and two children.

The Boone Society is pleased to announce that the Kentucky Historical Society's State Highway Marker for the Edward Boone Death Site has been received. In conjunction with the DAR and the KY Historical Society, we are planning a dedication ceremony for unveiling the marker in Bourbon County, Kentucky, on Monday, April 23 at 1:00. All Boone family and friends are invited. The Edward Boone Memorial Committee of the Boone Society has been working for several years on the project to restore, preserve, and properly mark this site, and the unveiling of the highway historical marker will be the capstone of this project. We hope all of you can attend and share this historic moment with us. The marker will be erected on KY State Highway 537 and See Road, about 15 miles East of Paris, KY. The ceremony will be at the death/burial site about 1/2 mile down See Road. If anyone has questions or needs more details, please don't hesitate to contact me or Dell Boone Ariola ([email protected]). Rochelle Evans Cochran, a Director of the Boone Society and GGGGG grand daughter of Edward and Martha Boone

I'd like to know more about this subject also. My query relates not to a Boone in the Kentucky militia but to a Grant, the John Grant who was a nephew of Daniel Boone and commonly called Colonel Grant, presumably because he had that militia rank, although he was only a private in the US Army. A bio of John Grant, or, preferably, a good history of the Kentucky militia, would make my day!

Hi Booners, This is a ledger for auction on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1113415997 Any of you have a clue as to who this D. M. Boone was? I thought it was my 3X great grandfather, Daniel Morgan Boone, until I paid attention to the date! My Daniel Morgan died in 1839. He had a son Daniel, but NOT Daniel Morgan. As you can see, there are other Boones who signed the ledger. Any info would be appreciated. PS_ I am currently high bidder, and will share with whomever is interested, if I get it. Geraldine Ingersoll What is for sale is a Jackson County, CO Missouri, MO ledger from 1890 to 1895 that contains the signatures of all the presidents and clerks of all the school districts in the county. Many, many familiar names are in the ledger that are remembered today in street names and such. The best signatures include D.M. Boone(Daniel Morgan Boone), who lived on South Troost or Holmes at about 89th Street, N. Boone(Napoleon Boone), Morgan Boone and James Boone and John Boone, who I believe are all great grandsons of Daniel Boone. Other locally known names include Burrus, Boggs, Holmes, Knoche, Corder, Reber, Hudspeth, Chiles, Cave, Crenshaw, Strode, T.C. Lea or Lee, Lipscomb, Young, Corn and hundreds more. I believe the Chiles name and Young name are Harry Truman relatives. The complete ledger has about 160 pp, 112 of which have signatures, but each page has at the most 15 or so signatures. Some signatures are tipped in on letters sent to the county treasurer, a Mr. Brady of Independence who was later I believe postmaster of Independence and a Buick dealership owner--or someone in his family was. Many loose pages, front cover is missing, some pages smudged and soiled at edges, no spine cover--the value of the book is in the signatures and the history of the school districts. Place names mentioned include West Port or Westport, Lone Jack, Kansas City, Independence, Dodson, Blue Springs, Dallas, Waldo, Little Santa Fe, Martin City, Lone Jack, Sibley, Buckner, Lee's or Lees Summit, Grandview, Hickman Mills, Leeds, Holmes Park, Mt.

Ray: The false story that Rebecca Bryan, daughter of Morgan and Martha, married John Boone has been around for ages. 1) M & M did not have a daughter named Rebecca; 2) no one knows the surname of John Boone's wife but her given name was Rebecca. If you want to see some research on this matter, check the Howell Boone papers in the History/Genealogy room of the Davie County library, Mocksville. Doris Frye at the library can steer you. I think you are putting too much blame on the Forbush/Forbis/Forbes clan when you suggest that they were careless or indecisive about the way they spelled their name. I've found that the variant spellings of surnames were usually the work of court clerks, assistant county clerks, etc. Most paid scribes simply spelled a name the way it sounded to them, hence the vast majority of alterntive spellings are to be found in copies of documents such as indentures and Wills and in clerical entries in Will books, Deed books, Minutes of County Court of P & Q S, etc. We rarely see the original Deed or Will but when we do, we can usually rely on the signature as being correctly spelled. But a subject would seldom have the opportunity to actually witness copies and record book entries being written, and so would not have the opportunity to correct the local recorder on the spot. If would be interesting to see an actual Forbush/Forbis/Forbes signature on some document or other. I have a copy of an original one-page legal instrument with the signature of an 18th century Bryan. In the text, the man's last name is spelled three different ways - all of them incorrect. The signature is a very clear BRYAN. Many people were illiterate, of course, and among them, some could manage a signature. Even so, I doubt that their surnames were spelled various ways because they didn't know or care which was correct. Asked in a letter from Draper c1840 about the spelling of his name, George Bryan, youngest son of Morgan Bryan Jr. and Mary Forbush, left no doubt. He wrote back: "....it's BRYAN; no T on it!" But some things never change. On the granite memorial at the entrance of the Fort Boonesboro reconstruction in Kentucky, some idiot bureaucrat tacked a T onto the surnames of all the Bryans who had lived there, including that of George Bryan. Shades of the county clerks of yore. Jack Bryan

Dick is the brother of Shirlie McKENZIE and Uncle Dick to Bobi Lynn METCALF of Red Bluff, Gail POOL of Oregon, Bert McKENZIE of Gerber, Hazel BROWN of Red Bluff and Scottie ULCH of Corning. Dick and Shirley grew up in the Dairyville area and after World War II he drove a livestock truck for a couple of years before working as logging foreman at COLLINS Pine in Chester for 40 years. Shirlie and Abner were married in early 1930s and worked on the STOVER-McKENZIE Ranch since he had lived there after his father Bert died when Abner was 12. Hazel remembers her mother telling about one cattle drive when an impatient driver kept bumping a bull in the drag that was in the road. She was so pleased when the bull finally turned around and took off the car's bumper. Dick BOONE worked for STOVER-McKENZIE and helped trail the cattle to the mountains. There were so many cattle that the ranch made several drives each spring and fall with five or six cowboys. The names of Jack GRAVIER, Ralph FREDERICKS and Cliff HAYNES came to Dick's memory. Charles STOVER rode with the first herd of cows and calves and stayed at Chester to receive the rest of the cattle, while the cattle grazed on the meadows. There were two herds of cows and calves, followed by the large dry bunch of cattle. The extra horses had been driven with the cattle, and then another drive was the mares and colts. JACKSON was the cook and he used a team of horses to pull the wagon. This was later replaced with a Dodge screenside truck. Dick remembers eating lots of steak, biscuits and gravy, plus eggs in the morning and beans at night. The lumber flume at FINLEY Lake was still standing in parts on the first trip or two that Dick made. It was a six-day drive with the cattle and they started from the Antelope corrals up on the Hogsback. The first night usually had a stampede because it was a dry camp at Halfway station between Red Bluff and Lyonsville. There were rattlesnakes and coyotes to upset the cows since water at Finley Lake was the next day. Dick remembers eating supper and watching a ground squirrel in a trance as a rattlesnake inched closer until Abner threw a rock at the snake. Next stop of Lyman Springs, Mineral, the STUMP Ranch land on to Chester. They drove the cattle at a steady pace and let them graze at the noon stop. Dick and Betty loaned me a clipping from The Lassen County Times, Oct. 10, 19??, the last part was missing from the clipping, "STOVER Family: 100 years of Chester history." Thaddeus and Reuben STOVER, with their father Jacob, traveled overland on horses and mules to California in the spring of 1850. The first year was spent between Sacramento and Bidwell Bar mining, then farming near Marysville in 1851-52. Jacob became ill and, upon his recovery, left his still young sons in California and returned to his family in Iowa. The boys dabbled in mining and ranching, anything they could earn a living, until they entered the livestock business. Seeking a summer grazing area as the valley dried below dried up in the hot summer weather, the pair arrived in Big Meadows, later homesteading in the early 1860s. Charles STOVER, the son of Reuben, recalled in an interview with members of the Plumas County Historical Society a year before his death in 1961, "My father, his brother and a man named Pete OLSEN, the three of them came in about 1860 with a pack horse seeking a nountain range to run their cattle." OLSEN established his ranch east of the river, while the STOVER brothers homesteaded on the west side. Ruben married Mary Ann ROSE in 1862 and, upon Thaddeus's marriage to Ada Milroy COOPER, the brothers divided their holdings with Thaddeus rebuilding to the east. Children were born, Marry Ann had four between 1863 and 1868 only to have five more 11 years later between 1879 and 1888. Charles, born in 1879, recalled life in the Chester area as a boy, although Chester itself did not yet exist. "At that time, there were just the five ranches on the upper end of the valley, Thad STOVER, Bert JOHNSON, Oscar MARTIN, our ranch and OLSEN's." Ruben continued to live and run his dairy ranch on the north end of the valley until his death in October of 1897. The 700 acre ranch and the 50 to 70 cows were willed to his wfe, but were managed by Charles, until the number two son bought it from his mother in 1903. Thaddus lived to the age of 84, still in Chester at his death in 1920.

Dick is the brother of Shirlie McKENZIE and Uncle Dick to Bobi Lynn METCALF of Red Bluff, Gail POOL of Oregon, Bert McKENZIE of Gerber, Hazel BROWN of Red Bluff and Scottie ULCH of Corning. Dick and Shirley grew up in the Dairyville area and after World War II he drove a livestock truck for a couple of years before working as logging foreman at COLLINS Pine in Chester for 40 years. Shirlie and Abner were married in early 1930s and worked on the STOVER-McKENZIE Ranch since he had lived there after his father Bert died when Abner was 12. Hazel remembers her mother telling about one cattle drive when an impatient driver kept bumping a bull in the drag that was in the road. She was so pleased when the bull finally turned around and took off the car's bumper. Dick BOONE worked for STOVER-McKENZIE and helped trail the cattle to the mountains. There were so many cattle that the ranch made several drives each spring and fall with five or six cowboys. The names of Jack GRAVIER, Ralph FREDERICKS and Cliff HAYNES came to Dick's memory. Charles STOVER rode with the first herd of cows and calves and stayed at Chester to receive the rest of the cattle, while the cattle grazed on the meadows. There were two herds of cows and calves, followed by the large dry bunch of cattle. The extra horses had been driven with the cattle, and then another drive was the mares and colts. JACKSON was the cook and he used a team of horses to pull the wagon. This was later replaced with a Dodge screenside truck. Dick remembers eating lots of steak, biscuits and gravy, plus eggs in the morning and beans at night. The lumber flume at FINLEY Lake was still standing in parts on the first trip or two that Dick made. It was a six-day drive with the cattle and they started from the Antelope corrals up on the Hogsback. The first night usually had a stampede because it was a dry camp at Halfway station between Red Bluff and Lyonsville. There were rattlesnakes and coyotes to upset the cows since water at Finley Lake was the next day. Dick remembers eating supper and watching a ground squirrel in a trance as a rattlesnake inched closer until Abner threw a rock at the snake. Next stop of Lyman Springs, Mineral, the STUMP Ranch land on to Chester. They drove the cattle at a steady pace and let them graze at the noon stop. Dick and Betty loaned me a clipping from The Lassen County Times, Oct. 10, 19??, the last part was missing from the clipping, "STOVER Family: 100 years of Chester history." Thaddeus and Reuben STOVER, with their father Jacob, traveled overland on horses and mules to California in the spring of 1850. The first year was spent between Sacramento and Bidwell Bar mining, then farming near Marysville in 1951-52. Jacob became ill and, upon his recovery, left his still young sons in California and returned to his family in Iowa. The boys dabbled in mining and ranching, anything they could earn a living, until they entered the livestock business. Seeking a summer grazing area as the valley dried below dried up in the hot summer weather, the pair arrived in Big Meadows, later homesteading in the early 1860s. Charles STOVER, the son of Reuben, recalled in an interview with members of the Plumas County Historical Society a year before his death in 1961, "My father, his brother and a man named Pete OLSEN, the three of them came in about 1860 with a pack horse seeking a nountain range to run their cattle." OLSEN established his ranch east of the river, while the STOVER brothers homesteaded on the west side. Ruben married Mary Ann ROSE in 1862 and, upon Thaddeus's marriage to Ada Milroy COOPER, the brothers divided their holdings with Thaddeus rebuilding to the east. Children were born, Marry Ann had four between 1863 and 1868 only to have five more 11 years later between 1879 and 1888. Charles, born in 1879, recalled life in the Chester area as a boy, although Chester itself did not yet exist. "At that time, there were just the five ranches on the upper end of the valley, Thad STOVER, Bert JOHNSON, Oscar MARTIN, our ranch and OLSEN's." Ruben continued to live and run his dairy ranch on the north end of the valley until his death in October of 1897. The 700 acre ranch and the 50 to 70 cows were willed to his wfe, but were managed by Charles, until the number two son bought it from his mother in 1903. Thaddus lived to the age of 84, still in Chester at his death in 1920.

Hannah Boone, youngest sister of Col. Daniel Boone, and wife of 1) John Stewart and 2) Richard Pennington, died in Monroe Co., KY on April 9, 1828. She was buried at Mill Creek Church, and in 1920, her remains were moved to Old Mulkey Meeting House State Park in Tompkinsville, KY. The Mulkey State Park is planning some restoration and I have been corresponding with the director. It would be great if we, as descendants, could place a larger, nicer monument for HANNAH BOONE STEWART PENNINGTON in the park. Her old stone could be preserved within the newer one, like the Squire and Sarah Morgan Boone monument at Joppa Cemetery, Davie County, NC. Look forward to your response if you would like to be included in this project. J. Nell Truitt Valrico, Florida [email protected] If you are interested in this project, please reply and let me know.

Might any of you, descendants of the Boone family, know whether there was a close relationship between James Craig (who preached Daniel Boone's funeral) and a minister named H. L. Craig, who organized a church in Trigg Co., Ky., in 1805? I would just like to know, as I was told there was a relationship, and don't wish to rely on word of mouth only.
