Hi Jenny, There is a book by Robert W. Ramsey called "Carolina Cradle - Settlement of the Northwest Carolina Frontier, 1747 - 1762" copyright 1964, published by the University of North Carolina Press. This scholarly book covers the people who had already moved to or migrated to this area during this time frame. If I recall right, Squire Boone moved to the area known as the "Forks of the Yadkin" (where the Yadkin River splits into several branches -- where present day Rowan, Davie & Davidson counties converge). My own ancestors, Hunter family, came during the same time frame (1752), were run off by Indians (to Virginia and Pa), then returned around 1755 or 56. Daniel went west in the early 1770's, founding Boonesboro in present day Madison Co, KY. He returned to the Forks area a number of times leading new groups west when he would go back to KY. My ancestors went with him in 1778, initially to Boonesboro, then later moving a few miles west to present day Jessamine Co, KY. In any case, this is an excellent book and one that covers some of the question you had/have. I'm not sure what questions you'd like to ask, but I've got the book and could take a look for information for you. If Zadock shows on an 1850 census, I would guess that (IF his ancestors migrated with the Boones) it would have been Zadock's grandfather or great-grandfather or even great-great-grandfather that would have been making those moves. Can you provide anything more specific (other names, dates, other family names besides Jones, etc?) to go on? I can tell you this: the only Jones's mentioned in the index of the book are: Catherine, David, Henry, Hugh, James, John, Joseph and Thomas. good luck, Mike On Fri, 30 Dec 2005 11:05:07 -0600 "Jenny" <[email protected]> writes: > Does anyone know if and where information could be found as to who moved with the Boone family from Pa. to NC. to Ky.?
