Good morning, well almost noon!!! They have and discuss every Boone. Lots of times the e was dropped. They have the Boone's direct back to England and before....some in Germany, I think. I just unsubscribed from the list as the mail was over whelming and until I find more information on my Eleanor, I got tired of reading all the stuff over and over and had little input. Of, course the Boone's tie in with 'ol Abe Lincoln and Eisenhower, and Eleanor Roosevelt and lest we forget 'ol Daniel himself. A little about myself. I was born in Rockford and my paternal grandparents came to the US in 1909 from Germany. My grandfather came first in January and went to Oregon, probably Rockvale Twp. to Jacob DeVries who was his uncle. My grandmother and five children came in July and to Oregon and they farmed the area. My father was born outside of Byron, one uncle near Leaf River and the girls were born in the area as well as a couple of other uncles. There were twelve kids in all and the youngest was born near Cherry Valley. On my maternal side, my gg grandparents Beer came in the 1880's from Germany and they lived in the Lindenwood, Holcomb areas and my great grandparents Groen also came in the 1880's and were in White Rock. My great grandfather Groen was the caretaker of the White Rock Cemetery for 30 some years. My g grandfather Nottelmann came in either the late 1890's or early 1900's from Germany. The Nottelmann's are from near Hamburg and the Groen's, Beer's, DeVries, Meyer's are all from Ostfriesland but my grandparents Meyer had lived in Wilhelmshaven area of Germany. My mother was born in White Rock and most of that side of my family is buried in White Rock. That is where my mother will be buried. That's about it for me......
