Does anyone have any record of Agnes Boone's parents and how she ties into the Boone Family. Thanks

Regarding Agnes Boone. There is no record. She is apparently a figment of someone's imagination. The mother of Rebecca Robinson Carson was Elizabeth (possibly Fulton. Two marriages of Rebecca's sisters, her twin Jean or Jane who married James McMullin in Botetourt County, Virginia in 1788 and Sarah who married John Sawyer in 1786 give parents names and James and Elizabeth Robinson and James Robinson respectfully. Also the Will of James Robertson in Shelby County, Kentucky lists his wife's name as Elizabeth. The Will also lists all of the children including Rebecca Carson and her sister Jane Carson the wife of Robert Carson after the death of James McMullin. I have e-mailed the originator of this myth several times asking for documentation. I have gotten no answer. Sadly it is now all over the internet and Elizabeth has been forgotten. I have done extensive research on this family because family tradition, as is the case with many other, claims that Kit Carson was a first cousin to my gg grandfather William Riley Robertson.

Sadly, this happens all too often. Sometimes what is intended only for someone to consider or study is all over the Internet before the person realizes it. I recently spent an hour with a woman who was trying to decide if she wanted to give her years of tedious expensive research to a relative who wrote and said I would like all of your research and info. She and her husband had spent hours studying records and putting the facts together. I do not know her final decision but two days later she found on Ancestry some of her earlier work that she had given him. There is just too much of this. I am currently working on a line that comes into my Carson line about 1900. It is a large family with the father having nearly 25 children by at least two marriages. He has one daughter before 1800, 6 children between 1800-1810, 6 between 1810-1820, 6 to 8 in the next 10 years and three in the following five years. We have found at least three children that died in infancy. Now I have spent hours going over census to reconstruct the ages and sex of the children in his family. We have no will or probate only one land record to date. We are working on theory. We have candidates for some of the positions but will probably never find all of them. I did this with my early carson family and it took 20 years to prove the theory.. My early Carson ancestor is Samuel and Mary Carson of Cortland County, Ny arriving in NY in about 1796 to pick up the bounty land claim of his wife's dead uncle. According to some of the children's naturalization application, they came with a boat load of family. Where is the rest of the family?This family too claims to be related to Kit Carson, the frontiersman. Cousins get upset when I tell them no proof. Then again I usually answer yes and clarify it. You see my paternal grandfather's name was Kit Carson. He was not Christopher but Kit.
