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."
