    1. Meshach Inman--something to "chew on"

    3. this concerns the old "Daniel Boone" story. Source: John Mack Faraqher. "Daniel Boone: The Life and Legend of An American Pioneer." New York: Henry Holt & Co. 1992. Also, Wheeler's NC History. Topic, the Cutbearth Expedition of 1768. These books reference two specific Indian attacks on a Daniel Boone expedition. The first, May, 1769 specifically mentions the men who were with him--and the Indian brothers were not included. The second, October 9, 1773 specifically names the men who were with Daniel Boone and who were either wounded or murdered--no Inman brothers. However the Cutbeard expedition may provide the answer. Benjamin Cutbeard was an old hunting companion of Daniel Boone. He was also a good friend of John Stewart (who had married Boone's sister Hannah). Cutbeard and Stewart took a party of hunters some time during 1768 and they hunted and trapped for several months in Tennessee. They sold their catch in New Orleans; however, on their return home, they were attacked and robbed by Indians. Several members of that group (names not mentioned) were killed or wounded. THIS is probably the Daniel Boone story that has been handed down through this family. They weren't hunting with Daniel Boone. Instead, they were hunting with Daniel Boone's brother-in-law and his best friend! Barbara Dr. Barbara Inman Beall, Ph.D, BIBeall@email.msn.com, BBeall43@yahoo.com Lancaster-Wormiston Press P.O.
