Congratulations, Steve! What a thrill to make a breakthrough in your research! Would you like for me to publish a query in "Compass"? (The quarterly publication of the Boone Society.) In addition to being sent to all our members, we also distribute it to many libraries and genealogical societies across the country. Perhaps someone would see the article who recognizes your family. It seems to me that there is a member or two of the Boone Society who have mentioned to me their connection to both the Boone and Lincoln families. I suppose you've seen the great chart in Spraker's book showing the Boone-Lincoln connections? I not, I'll be glad to send it to you.
