Hi Donna, I, for one, would love to see the picture of the historical marker for the Boone settlement. My Dutch SLOT/SLOAT family went there and then changed their name to LOCK, which made the search harder to say the least. Also what is the address of the site you referred to?

The place where the marker is, is just a field. I am going there next Sat. the 17th for a meeting. I will take my camera and stop and take a picture. I have never read it completely, just see Squire Boone Station and know my ancestors were there. So, I will just put it on our Dutch Colonies site. There ios no address, it is halfway between Shelbyville and New Castle, probably just a little closer to New Castle. (That is a very small town).
