The transcript is as written by John Blakely. Being family tradition and hearsay. Obviously this is another of those incidents where many people "get in" on the story as time goes by. At least in this case the story is about someone outside of teh family, and not a claim of personal involvement, so htere would be no reason to promote such a falsehood. I believe that this is the version many adhered too, because of the lack of direct witnesses, and the failure to quickly and adequately confirm WHICH body was Tecumseh's, a real problem when you are in a melee. Since the Colonel was Vice President, I can see his allowing the "glory" of the battle to rest in his favor. It probably helped him attain the office, even if it were patently untrue. Just another erecording of family lore and not to be construed as fact until thoroughly researched and verified. Jeff Scism, IBBSG Still beating the bushes and coming up with people who married into the Boone clans.

There are not many people in the entire country, not to mention this locality, who live to celebrate their 64th Wedding Anniversary. It is for Mr. and Mrs. John A. Blakely of Platteville to be parties to such a distinctive anniversary. It was 64 years ago that they plighted their troth, and all those 64 years they have lived in this locality among their family and friends and are today the fine specimens of sturdy stock and good living. They have seen changes of the past three score years together and have been blessed with splendid health, a devoted family, and enough of the world's goods to carry them through life most comfortably. Mr. Blakely is 84 years of age and his wife is not far behind him in years. She is the last survivor of a family of ten children. Mr. Blakely is the only surviving member of the G.A.R. Post who has been able to attend its meetings with regularity the past few years. He and Mr. Youmans are the last, spry ones now living. Mr. Blakely has held offices of trust in his former town - Chairman of the Town of Harrison - and was a director in the school district for 20 years. He has been honored with the highest offices in the Post in Platteville Mr. and Mrs. Blakely were the parents of six children, three of whom are living. Mrs. Ernest Jentz, their daughter in Platteville prepared a wonderful anniversary dinner for them on Sunday and Glendora of Bloomington, Illinois was here for the occasion. Lillian of Milwaukee was unable to attend. Friends extend hearty congratulations to this worthy couple on such an auspicious event. Letters cards, flowers, cakes, and other mementos signified the esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Blakely are held. The Journal is joined by countless friends in wishing more years of joy to this distinguished pair. - Platteville Journal. From the pen of Mr. Blakely himself Friend Henry, It has been a long time since I have anything of you, but hear of your being in this neck of the woods quite often. It pains me today to read in the Dubuque Telegraph Herald the passing of my old comrade and friend J. F. Heberlein, whom I had not seen since last fall. He was a frequent and well liked comrade of our G.A.R., when he used to visit our post when at his daughter's here, in years gone by, and the relatives have the sympathy of the few remaining G.A.R. comrades of this place. We have six of the old boys left here but four of them are confined their beds and homes by one thing or another, only two that get around much, Christian Schroeder the oldest member, 92 in June, and myself, in my 85th year and the youngest of a Post that once boasted 265 members. Such is life and shows that time is passing and we have passed our usefulness and must give way for the younger generation. But Henry, me and my good wife passed another milestone in our travels through life when 64 years ago on April 26th, 1868 we tied a knot with our tongues that we have never been able to untie with our teeth, although there have been many changes to us in that length of time, and we have seen many changes. Our daughter, Mrs. Ernest Jentz, gave us a splendid repast last Sunday for our anniversary, which was enjoyed by all. Our daughter Glendora, head of the City Nurses at Bloomington, Illinois, was here for the occasion but our daughter Lillian of Milwaukee was not able to be with us. We spent the day quietly at home, I not being well. We received some nice presents and a good many surprises, as we received 13 letters and cards from second cousins I never knew existed and they were well scattered in the states of Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Louisiana. This was all brought about by a Miss McLaughlin of Henderson, Kentucky, who sent us a large Anniversary cake, which was awful nice and came in good shape. I never knew there was such a person living until October last year. She is my second cousin and is collecting data on the Endicott family and has traced them back to Governor John Endicott, first Governor of Salem, Massachusetts, to me at Platteville. It happened through my writing the War department Washington for some dates on my Great-grandfather, Moses Endicott, who served in the Revolutionary war. A woman from Massachusetts who gathers those dates, was hunting up some data at the War Department and ran across my name and what I was looking for, and set down and wrote me where I could find all I wanted to know. The Endicotts (Note for clarity: MOSES- Jeff) came to Kentucky from North Carolina in 1786 with Daniel Boone as leader of the colony that settled in and around Harding County, and where my grandfather, John A. Endicott was born in 1789, and where he enlisted in Colonel Richard Johnson's regiment of mounted infantry and went up to Canada where fought in the Battle of the Thames, with the British and their allied Indians. Colonel Johnson was the man who killed the noted Indian Chief, "Tecumseh". My grandfather said it happened this way: Colonel Johnson had his horse shot under him and falling caught his leg under it. Tecumseh, seeing his plight and thinking to get an easy scalp, rushed out to get it, but he did not know the boys from Old Kentucky. The Colonel drew his dragoon pistol out of his saddle holster and shot him dead. My Grandfather and his brother Joseph Endicott, were both in the War of 1812, and my Great-great grandfather, Moses Endicott, and his father in the revolutionary war, so you see, I come from a family of warriors. So watch your step and don't dodge me all the time, but call in and see if I look natural. John A. Blakely Platteville, Wisconsin, May 1, 1932 --

Kathryn, I will look forward to hearing others comments to your question of the first attempt to restore the gravestones. Our ancestors now have a beautiful brick-encased monument and interpretative marker in Joppa Cemetery. A committee placed those years ago, and I have visited there and photographed the stones, but canot tell you the actual date of placement. The original gravestones of Squire and Sarah Morgan Boone are encased in this monument. We as descendants feel honored that the preservation was done. J. Nell Beck Truitt 5th great-granddaughter Secretary, The Boone Society, Inc. _www.boonesociety.org_ (http://www.boonesociety.org) Does anyone know when was the first attempt to "restore" Squire-1 and Sarah Boone's tombstones? It seems that I've read that the stones were defaced by souvenier hunters at one point -- is that true? Did anyone ever mount any memorial plaques onto the tombstones? kathryn Just a Note from . . . . . . Nell

For years I have been doing the family genealogy and am constantly finding families which have a parrallel connection into the Boone family ( so far I am immune from Boone descendancy, but my cousins have it covered) So far (and I may miss a couple) there are connections through STOVER, MILLER, PEFFLEY.MORGAN, CROWLEY, DAGLEY, and tonight, a new one, John A. Endicott. This is a descendant of Governor John Endecott who was interim Governor, later Governor, of Massachusetts Bay Colony, and at once teh "President of the United Colonies in America" You can legitimately say he was the First President - a century and a half before George Washington. This particular (later) John Endicott was father to Margaret Endicott, who had three marriages,and who eventually on #3 became one of my progenitors with her husband Edward Emery. John was reported to have travelled with a Colonel Johnson, and to have lived in the "Boone" settlements in Kentucky. Later in Indiana, just across the river in Posey County, and then to Grant County, Wisconsin. This kind of surprises me because in the past ten years of looking at this area, I had never seen the name associated with the Boone settlements. This Colonel Johnson mentioned is PROBABLY the sameman who founded the settlement in Crab Orchard, (later) Carter County Tennessee. My Miller family was there for that, and later also went to Indiana. Grandkids of the EMERY/Endicott line married grandkids of that Miller line in Oregon, They were also Crowley and Dagley Grandkids ( from Liberty Missouri). They were in close contact with Alonzo Boone, in Oregon, and several of these families can claim relationships to George Boone, III. If anyone can add light to this relationship I would appreciate it. -- ~~ Jeffery G. Scism, IBSSG "He who throws stones is providing an enemy with ammunition, and an idea of it's application."

Hi, It just so happens my husband is both a Boone (can't connect past his g-grandmother who lived in Berks Co., PA) and an Eisenhour descendant. I have a one-page Eisenhour family tree (includes Ida) done in the 1940s, when Dwight was a general, that I have scanned and would be happy to send to anyone who is interested. There are no other Boones - just Eisenhowers and spouses back to Martin who came over from the Netherlands. Linda Smith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven C.

In 1998 a member of the BOONE list submitted the connection from Dwight David EISENHOWER b 1890 to the line of Jacob STOVER, Sr b abt 1688 who m Sarah BOONE. That same year I received the same information from another source. I have never attempted to document it and am not familiar with the Gary Boyd ROBERTS info so I am not able to say whether the information as presented to me is from his research or that of the direct descendants of Jacob STOVER, Sr. This is the information as presented to me: Jacob STOVER, Sr b abt 1688 m Sarah BOONE b 1691 (dau of George, 111 and Mary MAUGRIDGE) Abraham STOVER b 1729 m Sarah (maiden name unk) Daniel STOVER, Sr b 1750 sp unk Daniel STOVER, Jr b 1780 m Mary HANNAH b 1781 Simon P STOVER b 1822 m Elizabeth Ida LINK Ida Elizabeth STOVER b abt 1863 m David Jacob EISENHOWER David Jacob EISENHOSER and Ida Elizabeth STOVER are the parents of Dwight David EISENHOWER and several other children. Both lines submitted to me are children of the siblings of the President EISENHOWER and not of his direct line. In my private remarks to Jeff I made mention that I had another Jacob STOVER in my database but not link to that of the Jacob who married Sarah BOONE dau of George, 111. If that kinship does exist it has yet to be established and is most likely worth pursuing. Christian STOVER the ancestral line of Jeff does bare the name of Christian STOVER father of Jacob b abt 1688. However, that does not make the connection so.

Interesting that the gentleman used Gary Boyd Roberts in his reply. Mr Roberts has the Eisenhower/Stover connection back to Daniel Stover born 1750 Augusta VA. Beyond that point he appears to have not done any research. So as I see it there is still a strong probablity that Jacob Stover who married Sarah Boone is Dwight David Eisenhower's direct ancestor. Also some years ago I seem to recall reading that Mr Roberts had some information on one of the presidents that was incorrect and that he had to concede at one point that his particular research on that president was incorrect.

Sarah Boone is my husband's Great-Grandmother and she married George Martin RAMSEY. Through the BOONE line we connect to the following President's. President James MADISON are 2C6R (2nd cousins 6 times removed) and President Theodore ROOSEVELT are 9C1R (9th Cousins 1 time Removed). We connect to both of these President's through the Catlett's. Sarah Boone was a cousin Daniel Boone (the explorer.) He was her 1C 4R (First Cousins 4 times Removed). I hope this helps. If anyone wants the connection please email me and I will be happy to provide it.

I contacted the Eisenhower Presidential Library re: the eisenhower lineage, here is the reply: Dear Mr. Scism: Thank you for your message. The Eisenhower Library has no records of President Eisenhower's Stover ancestry. Gary Boyd Roberts, a professional genealogist associated with the New England Historic Genealogical Society in Boston, has attempted to trace the ancestry of all the presidents and is probably the world expert in the field. In an article in the Holiday 2003 issue of "New England Ancestors" Mr. Roberts claimed that the traditional line of descent, which you listed in your message, is not correct. Roberts claimed that Eisenhower was probably descended from a different Jacob Stover and had no connection to Daniel Boone. For further information you may wish to examine the article by Mr. Roberts, and the sources cited therein. Your local genealogical society can help you locate copies of this material.

Someone posted something about the Grimes family and I inadvertently deleted the message. However, there is a connection between the Boones and Grimes as James Grimes married Sarah Bryan, daughter of Mary Boone and William Bryan. Sarah Bryan was a niece of Daniel Boone. I am including the children of this couple below -- hope this helps. David 1. SARAH3 BRYAN (WILLIAM2, MORGAN1) was born September 01, 1770 in North Carolina, and died Abt. 1855 in Kentucky. She married JAMES GRIMES Bef. 1795, son of PHILLIP GRIMES and MARY DOWDALL. He was born January 20, 1760 in Rowan County, North Carolina, and died June 15, 1828 in Fayette County, Kentucky. Children of SARAH BRYAN and JAMES GRIMES are: 2. i. NANCY BRYAN4 GRIMES, b. March 11, 1789, Fayette County, Kentucky; d. May 07, 1836, Randolph County, Missouri. ii. PHOEBE GRIMES, b.

Hi... Yes, Maw must be a typo. It should say Mary (as in Mary DeHart). I believe that this is referring to: Jacob Boone (15 Aug 1754-4 May 1827) and his wife Mary DeHart (10 Oct 1753-30 Jul 1828). They are buried in the Old Pioneer Cemetery. Located next to the Maysville Historical Museum. The land for this cemetery was donated by Jacob Boone. As I recall this is not at the rear of the Washington Opera House but I may be remembering incorrectly. Jacob is the son of Joseph Boone and Elizabeth Warren. Jacob would be first cousin one generation removed to Daniel Boone.

I think Kay meant to send this to both Boone and Boon rootsweb groups. She sent it to me instead. So I am passing it on to Both Boone and Boon rootsweb groups. I hope someone here can help her out. Joy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kay Hoover" <shutterbug390@earthlink.net> Joy asked that I post my ancestor's name on the list to see if he pops up in anyone's records. The ancestor that said he was at Dan'l's deathbed was Isaac GRAHAM - aka GRIMES. Isaac's brother, Daniel GRIMES did live not far from Boone. My ancestor that DID know Boone was George NOKES of Lincoln Co KY. Thanks Kay

Many of you may know that when a person has ancestors from KY, family lore can come down that we are either related to Daniel or the ancestors were good buddies of Daniel. My family is not so different. For those of you who are really related to Daniel, I'm wondering if any of the biographies of him include folks that were with him at his time of death. Yep, my guy was "with Daniel when he died". Actually, this one "could" be possible. I'd love to either prove or disprove the claim. Thanks for any help you can give Kay in CA

This is from the Pendleton county KY, rootsweb list today. Doug Harper, a member of that list, occasionally posts items of interest from the archives of the local paper, the "Falmouth Outlook". I have NFI; just passing this along. I think "Maw" may be a typo.
