In January, 1866 in Carroll County, Kinchen Boon was murdered by Preston H. Hesterly. I have been researching Boons, but this one stumps me. I found on the 1860 Census that there was a William Ray Boon living in Carroll County, who had a teenage son living at home with the name of Kinchen. Was this the murdered Kinchen? I also found on the 1860 Census that there was a Preston H. Hesterly living in Heard County. Mr. Hesterly was a farmer and a family man with children at home. Does anyone have any information on this murder??? I would be very interested in hearing. Sue
