There was a short mention on our local tv station today about the Christmas candlelight tour for the Christmas Season at the Daniel Boone Home near Defiance MO. Lindenwood College (St Charles MO) is now owner of the property. About the time they took over the ownership a pioneer village was beginning to be realized. The tv program included a statement by one of the volunteers saying that a building which was originally built by Daniel's younger brother Squire Boone had been recently added to the pioneer village.

Will you please contact me off list. I have a question about BCC. I mostly send Es to multiple people by sending the E to myself and Blind Copy to each of the folks to receive the message. I notice when some reply and my original message is attached, all of the addresses of the folks I sent to are included. Also when I check my sent mail, all the BCC addresses are there. Do they only appear when sent to me or are the people I send to getting all of those addresses? I always assumed that the folks were only getting mine and their individual address? I wonder? Thanks for your consideration. Ivan D. Lancaster of Trafalgar

I have information on a William Boone, living in KS purchased land in 1911. I pulled his land records today at the National Archives in Washington DC "hoping he was mine" and found a discharge Certificate from the Civil War. He served in the 7th Reg. of US Infantry. If this is your William, please contact me and I'll give you the cert plus info on how to get the full land records. Marie Vayer Dale City VA

Hello, I am hoping I can find someone to help me out. I am sure I have sent this before, but thought I would send it again..incase new people come to the group, or someone comes up with info. I believe I descended from Daniel Boones family. I got to connect generations. My grandmother was Ruth Dorcus Grant. On her marriage certificate...it has her parents as James Grant and Elizabeth W. Grant....but no year for their birth...etc. At the time of my Grandmothers death, she was living in Halifax County, Virginia. Grandmother was born around 1874. I have been wondering if James Grant and Elizabeth W. Grant might be her Grandparents....because there is a James Grant and Elizabeth Whittaker Grant around 1800 ..on the internet, it has them in Halifax, North Carolina...now I dont know if there is a mistake in this or not....cause my Grandmother lived in Halifax, Virginia. Do anyone know if there is a Halifax in NC? I know there was a Grant that married Daniel Boone sister...and I have a feeling this is my line. Can anyone help me with any descendents of William Grant and Elizabeth Boone (I think that is what her name is.) So I can try to connect the generations. Thanks.. Carol

I'm in the process of cleaning up my Boone file and have come across Mary Carter as his wife and also a Nancy Carter. Does anyone know who the correct wife is? Thanks for your help.

Hi list, I'm looking for the cemetery record for Sarah Boone who married first Conrad Adams and secondly Conrad Lamberson. Sarah died while living in Armstrong Co. PA on 10 February 1840. She is buried in Oakland Cemetery as I understand it. If there are any Boone researchers on this list that have this information, I would appreciate it if you would contact me. I'm trying to confirm that the Oakland cemetery record for Sarah states that her maiden name was Boone. I am trying to establish proof for my line. Thank you in advance for your help.

Dear Cousins, The new Boone book arrived in today's mail. A COMPANION FOR OWLS BEING THE COMMON PLACE BOOK OF D. BOONE LONG HUNTER, BACK WOODSMAN, ETC. by Maurice Manning. Amazon.com $15.40 plus SH $2.49 total $17.89. I like the size/shape. There are lots of notes in the back that give some of the facts on which some of the poems are based. The dust jacket looks like grained wood. There is a small drawing of Daniel, with his gun and dog on the cover. I am sure you all remember the one I refer to. On the back of the dust jacket - Praise for the poetry of Maurice Manning "A fresh and brilliant talent." --W.S. Merwin "For all their tale telling these poems are more often mediation and prayer than story. The lucidity and surprise and soulfulness of their language embody an intelligence and sensibility attainable only in high art. A princely priest, one with a lovable sense of humor, has taken up the figure of a backwoodsman, without irony. This is thrilling work." -- James Baker Hall I have not read any of the poems, yet. More comment after reading some. Cousin Ivan of TRAFALGAR

Kentucky Book Fair 2004 What was it like for early pioneers to migrate to the Ohio Valley? RUNNING MAD FOR KENTUCKY; FRONTIER TRAVEL ACCOUNTS, edited by Ellen Eslinger, features more than a dozen firsthand accounts of travelers as they crossed the Appalachian Mountains in the 18th century. While many published travel diaries focused on the Overland Trail to California, Eslinger highlights an often overlooked part of Kentucky and frontier history. Surviving trans-Appalachian accounts are rare, and those in this volume describe the journey over Daniel Boone's Wilderness Road and down the Ohio River toward the "New Eden" of Kentucky. Settlers often found the route west fraught with danger, and they describe the challenges and hardships faced during their travels. Eslinger is a professor of history at DePaul University in Chicago. Shared by Ivan D. Lancaster of TRAFALGAR Member of The Board of Directors of The Boone Society and a member of The Daniel Boone and Frontier Families Association.

Wed. October 27, 2004 Dear Cousins and Friends of Kentucky, Received a booklet a day or two ago and just looked through it last evening. The 23nd Annual Kentucky Book Fair booklet. The event is in Frankfort, Ky. Sat , Nov. 13, 2004 http://www.kybookfair.org/ Not sure how I got on the mailing list. Perhaps through membership in The Filson Club. The following caught my eye. "Maurice Manning's A COMPANION FOR OWLS, written in the voice of Daniel Boone, captures all the beauty and struggle in the birth of America." p. 3 Maurice Manning Daniel Boone began his first trip to Kentucky in May of 1769 and helped establish the earliest settlements in what became the first state in America's early history never to have been under British colonial authority. Written in the voice of frontiersman Boone, Manning's A COMPANION FOR OWLS captures all the beauty and struggle of nascent America and the birth of a new nation. Manning follows Boone;s progression in war and in the wilderness - as he meets the Cherokee, the Shawnee and the Delaware peoples, witnesses bountiful animals and great, undisturbed rivers. With a complete view of the man and not the legend, the reader stands aside Boone as he buries his brother, then his wife, and finds comfort in his friendship with a slave named Derry. A COMPANION FOR OWLS brings to life one man's incredible journey and one nation's incredible beginnings. Manning was born in Lexington and grew up in Danville. He earned a BA from Earlham College: an MA in English from the University of Kentucky; and an MFA in poetry from the University of Alabama. He Teaches English at Indiana University. His poems have appeared in The Southern Review: the Virginia Quarterly Review and The New Yorker. ################# Maurice Manning Maurice Manning April 19, 2001 -- As part of our continuing poetry series throughout the month of April, 35-year-old poet Maurice Manning shares his work. Manning is a first-year professor at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. He was born and raised in Kentucky and he has always stayed close to his home. His poetry reflects his feelings about the land the culture that surrounds him. Last year Manning was selected for the Yale Younger Poets Series -- the longest-running poetry prize in America. Yale University Press is currently publishing Manning's first book, Lawrence Booth's Book of Visions and it should come out this spring. Listen as Manning talks about his poetry for All Things Considered. ################### Maurice Manning Maurice Manning is a native of Kentucky and the author of LAWRENCE BOOTH'S BOOK OF VISIONS, which was published in Spring 2001 by Yale University Press and which was the recipient of the 2000 Yale Series of Younger Poets Award, selected by W. S. Merwin. Manning's second collection of poetry, A COMPANION FOR OWLS: BEING THE COMMONPLACE BOOK OF D. BOONE, LONG HUNTER, BACK WOODSMAN, &c, will be published in Fall 2004 by Harcourt. His poems have appeared in The New Yorker, Shenandoah, The Southern Review, Washington Square, Green Mountains Review, Hayden's Ferry Review, The Spoon River Poetry Review, Wind, Hunger Mountains, Black Warrior Review, Virginia Quarterly Review, and elsewhere. He has held a fellowship to The Fine Arts Works Center in Provincetown. LAWRENCE BOOTH'S BOOK OF VISIONS includes 58 poems featuring Lawrence Booth, a fictional character described by Publishers Weekly as "equal parts carnivorous nightmare, Freudian pastoral, and deep-fired family romance." Presenting a cast of allegorical and symbolic, yet very real, characters, Manning's poems have "authority, daring, and a language of color and sure movement," wrote Yale Series of Younger Poets Award judge W. S. Merwin. A COMPANION FOR OWLS is a collection of highly original narrative poems written in the voice of frontiersman Daniel Boone, a work that captures all the beauty and struggle of nascent America. Manning begins full-time teaching in the Indiana University M.F.A. Program in Fall 2004. ################## Also mentioned in the Booklet about the Book Fair WESTWARD INTO KENTUCKY; THE NARRATIVE OF DANIEL TRABUE with a new forward by Smith. Daniel Trabue (1760-1840) was one of these dreamers. A Virginian, Trabue crossed the Appalachians with his family in 1785 to settle in Kentucky's upper Green River Valley. He founded the town of Columbia, where in 1827 he wrote his memories of Kentucky as frontier, first release of this manuscript in 1981. The book will be re-released this year. ############## The Manning book sounds great. I have already ordered the Manning book from http://www.amazon.com/ Have any of you heard of this book? (Ken may be able to tell us if there is a connection with the Boones. At any rate, it should fit in with materials of The Daniel Boone and Frontier Families Association.)

Hi, I'm doing some genealogical research for a new friend. His GGGG Grandfather was Thomas Harben who married Hester Boone in South Carolina in 1810. The information he has supplied to me has Hester being the daughter of Ratcliff Boon (1765-1815) and Nancy Harris. I have also seen the parents of this Hester Boone to be Daniel Morgan Boone, Jr and Sarah Griffin Lewis. So... I need to know what people have to say. Who are the parents of Hester Boone? And if Hester is the daughter of Ratcliff Boon and Nancy Harris who are Ratcliff Boon's parents? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, J. Daniel Paxton

There is a wonderful color picture of Virginia Boone in today's (October 21, 2004) edition of The News & Observer from Raleigh, NC. She is 91 years old and is showing off her hand braiding rugs at the NC State Fair, as she has done for 40 years.

It is only intended to inform you of proposed legislation which, if passed, could significantly impact and hinder our research efforts. If you disagree with this proposed legislation, you might want to send an e-mail or letter to your representative in Congress immediately and suggest that legislation at least be be amended as proposed below. And, in the meantime, if you need any birth records you'd best be ordering them now! Thanks! Bettye Immediate Action Requested Legislation in Congress Seeks to Restrict Access to Birth Records; FGS Recommends Writing to Your Congressional Representatives The U.S. House of Representatives is considering a bill, House Resolution 10 (H.R. 10), which seeks to restrict access to birth certificates. This bill, which purpose is to respond to the threat of terrorism, is on a fast track to passage and has been voted on by several committees already. Your help is needed now. David Rencher, Chairman of the Record Access and Preservation Committee, a joint committee of the National Genealogical Society and Federation of Genealogical Societies, has sent a letter to the bill's sponsor, Congressman Dennis Hastert, recommending an amendment to the bill as follows: "However, nothing in this Chapter 2 shall be construed to require a State to change its law with respect to public access to (A) non-certified copies of birth certificates, or to (B) birth certificates or birth records once a period of 100 years has elapsed from the date of creation of the certificate or record." A copy of the letter is available on the FGS site at www.fgs.org/rpa/formalactions.htm. To view this bill, go to http://thomas.loc.gov. Enter HR 10 in the search box for "Bill Number." Action Is Needed Now Because this bill is moving toward passage so quickly, it is urged that the genealogical community take action immediately and let their representatives know that they are in support of David Rencher's amendment and the FGS position in this important matter. To find your state representative's contact information, go to www.house.gov/writerep/. How Should I Word My Letter? While you should word the letter in any way that is comfortable for you, it is recommended that you include the following as a portion of the letter: "While I support the intention to increase security to protect the U.S. from terrorists and those who wish to improperly take U.S. identities, I am concerned that those researching their family's history continue to have access to non-certified birth records. Therefore, in order to support HR-10 I ask that you amend HR-10 Section 3063(d)(2) by adding the following wording to the existing paragraph: 'However, nothing in this Chapter 2 shall be construed to require a State to change its law with respect to public access to (A) non-certified copies of birth certificates or to (B) birth certificates or birth records once a period of 100 years has elapsed from the date of creation of the certificate or record.' I believe that this additional language is imperative so that the states do not react by restricting all certificates to comply with the law, rather than dealing with certified as opposed to non-certified birth certificates. This proposed amendatory language would remind them that they can and should be treated differently." ==== MOSTFRAN Mailing List ==== ***St. Francois County MoGenWeb Page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mostfran/ ***St. Francois County Message Board: http://tinyurl.com/4esjr ***St. Francois County Surname Registry: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mostfran/surnames/surnames.htm ***To Unsubscribe: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/usa/MO/st._francois.html ***List Administrator: B.Warner --- bkwofc@i1.net Valerie Holifield www.holifieldweb.net www.stegenevieve.net

Hi, all -- I'm forwarding an interesting idea below that I received this morning about the Kentucky Highway "Boone-doggle." Comments and helpful ideas are welcome. Rochelle ----- Original Message ----- From: M. Caudill To: Rochelle@cablelynx.com Cc: dellariola@cebridge.net ; joycenell@aol.com ; Pete.Holste@comcast.net Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 6:20 PM Subject: Daniel Boone for Congress Dear Rochelle, I'm sure you've heard of the renaming of the Daniel Boone Parkway in KY as the Hal Rogers Parkway. Many of our local folks are upset by this, and I have been trying to provide them with an avenue to voice their opinions. My name is Michael Caudill, and I am a retired teacher from Hazard, KY, now volunteering as a DJ on a local community radio station. I developed the idea of having a write-in campaign in the November election. I've asked a few hundred people to go down the ballot to the race for 5th US congressional district, press the "write-in" button, slide open the door and write in "Daniel Boone." I don't really want to defeat Hal Rogers (the incumbent), but I feel that public roads and buildings should not be named for living elected (or appointed) officials until they've been dead a few years. Sound pretty good so far? Everyone I've talked to has liked the idea, and promised to pass it on to their friends. However, one of my contacts, an attorney, told me to ask the local election official if it would work. Now here's the problem: seems we have a law in KY that says that unless someone is REGISTERED as a write-in candidate by ten days before the election, the write-in votes will not even be counted. I've already contacted the local TV and radio stations (my ex-students are in the news departments of both), and the political editor of the 2nd-largest newspaper in the state, to tell them to watch the election results as they come in. All have agreed to sit on the story until election eve. But if the votes aren't counted, they won't show up. No story. No news. No voice of protest against the name change. I've contacted the Attorney General of KY (he's from one county over and we have mutual friends) and asked for a favorable ruling that will say, "Yes, the votes MUST be counted, even if we then declare the candidate ineligible because he did not register." Then we have a news story. Where do you and your group come in? Well, if the KY Atty. Gen. still says we have to have a candidate registered, we need a real, live Daniel Boone who lives in the Kentucky 5th US Congressional District and is a registered voter and is willing to register as a write-in candidate SOON! Surely, out of all the Boones in your registry, somebody knows one who fits this description. What started out as a small political protest has grown into a quest to give the little man a voice in his government. If we are unsuccessful this year, Hal has to run again in two years. By then we'll have a Daniel Boone - even if it involves a legal name change. T-shirts, bumper stickers, the works. We already have our slogan -- "the Great American Daniel Boone-Doggle." Please let me hear from you soon - the deadline is approaching. Michael Caudill Chairman, The Great American Boone-Doggle
