Earliest histories in Kentucky speak of a Michael Stoner (c1775) -along with "Thomas Whitledge, James Kenny, and several others" Since Stoner was an important Brethren family in early Maryland, who is this Michael Stoner? Merle C Rummel

Folks, regarding Michael Stoner, see below for an email I sent to you all a few months ago re: a song about Daniel Boone and the Wilderness Rd. Review the lyrics and you will find a Michael Stoner, seemingly of some fame. winter ------ RE: recent discussion re: the Wilderness Road and Daniel Boone. I thought you might be interested in the following song concerning both and the various names of the road or bits of it. It was in a PBS program on "The Appalachians". It is a great song. winter "Big Moccasin Gap" Johnny Cash, writer Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, singers (sung) We're goin' west to Kaintuck down the road to Moccasin Gap Down the Wilderness Road, the Dug Road, the old Reedy Creek Road, the road down Troublesome Road through Moccasin Gap (spoken) There was a time when goin' way out west meant goin' to Kaintuck, the dark and bloody ground as Indians called it. Indian wars were ragin' and men like Daniel Boone and Michael Stoner came down the Wilderness Road like countless families did through a place in southwest Virginia called Big Moccasin Gap. (sung) It's a hot day in '73 [1773] and this is my wife and my kids with me. Daniel Boone lost his boy the other day - young Jim Boone is dead twenty miles away. The wagons turn and went back home - even Daniel couldn't make it alone. I guess prob'ly Daniel could, but he stopped awhile in Castle Wood. If you love your wife and love your baby man, turn your wagons back as soon as you can. Ev'ry Injun in these hills has gone berserk - you never gonna make it to Kaintuck. But I bet I'm gonna make it to Kaintuck (sung) We're goin' west to Kaintuck...
