Hi, You may find information on "Daniel BOONE's excursion to KY in the 1770's and who he went with, the COBURN's, James and possibly his young son John, b1762 Philadelphia, though the CALLAWAY Family Assoc., (CFA) & their Callaway Family Journal. I descend from Peter CALLAWAY. Here are their websites: Callaway *(New) Family Assoc. Webs… http://www.callawayfamily.org./ Callaway Census Records http://www.lgc.peachnet.edu/callaway/cfa4.htm Callaway Family Assoc. http://www.lgc.peachnet.edu/callaway/cfa1.htm I was at the BOONE Homestead, here in PA, may years back & was looking in a book that gave his descendants. One of his descendants married at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Chester, Delaware Co., PA. It has been so long ago, since I read this, I can't remember their names. Now, about the COBURN & DeWEES Families they are both in the Delaware & Chester Co. areas but they go back to the State of Delaware & the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I did some research for a client on the DeWEES Family. They immigrated to New York from Holland in 1688 & then to Kent Co., DE. There is a book out on the DeWEES - DeWEESE Family -- you may be able to get though inter library loan. I had a query last week on COBURN -- I will send a copy to the mailing lists. Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) In a message dated 1/7/2 5:51:00 AM, janheil@attbi.com writes: << Hi, Thank you for the Boone Family notice, interesting for me and in my backyard, almost literally! My interests is with Daniel Boone's excursion to KY in the 1770's and who he went with, the Coburn's, James and possibly his young son John, b1762 Phidelphia. John moved to KYin 1785, after serviee and law studies, and handled some of D. Boone's land claims. It is unclear as to which James is John's father, and who his other siblings were except Mary Coburn who married William DeWeese, of Whitemarsh Twp, and came to KY with him in 1785. We suspect that these Coburns may be from the Chester area. Love to hear from anyone with interest in these surnames. Regards, Jan Portland, OR >>
