Betty, We need to all get together on this and see what we have. We just discovered last spring that my husband was a descendant of "the" Boone Family. We didn't even know that his branch had come into Todd Co, KY in the early 1800's. We found his 4xgreat grandmother, Anna Grubbs Boone,( wife of Squire Boone,1760-1817, Rev. War Vet) and his 3xgreat grandfather, Rev. Isaiah H. Boone, buried at Glenwood Cemetery in Elkton. Contact me directly at Landwestky@aol.com if you want to. Linda

I am descended from Hannah Boone, youngest sister of Daniel, Edward, and Samuel. I have quite a bit of information on the descendants of Hannah but would like to learn more about the families of her brothers. Will happily exchange Boone family information. Betty Ravenholt

My husband is descended from Samuel Boone, older brother of Daniel. Would like to correspond with person who has information on Edward Boone, brother of Daniel.

The entire KySeeker Domain server is down right now (includes Christian Co., Trigg Co., & Between the Rivers Sites) Hopefully it will be back up VERY SOON! I have posted some updates, BUT until the site comes back up I cannot upload the rest or run the index for the search engines. SO, I will send the updates as soon as all is up and running! Thanks! Julie

Just in case they do take it down (budget cuts etc) they have those same data bases available on a 3 cd set. Great for when the internet is not around. Just a thought! Karen Check out some of our web pages: * http://www.wwnet.net/~krugman1 (Main home page) * http://www.miprofgenie.com * http://www.nebulacomputers.com (Our son's page!) * Are you a Boomershine descendant?

I do not know his father's first name, but his mother may have been Catharine and he may have had a brother named Solomon. By 1850, he was living in Hendricks County, Indiana with Nancy (wife?) and John (son?). John, the son, may have died in the Civil War. John, the father, remarried in 1865 to Mary Ann Lipe Jordan, a widow. They had 2 daughters, Martha and Mary. The family moved to Wilson County, Kansas in the 1870s and John died there in 1883. Any help greatly appreciated.

Wm Shaw died 22 Feb. 1814 and Ann Allison, d. 30 Oct. 1819. Their daughter married Richard B. Hooper, a military man and surveyor and after getting married in Georgia, the entire family set out on the wagon train across Tennessee, giving up on Chester, SC! They settled in Shelby County, Texas with loads of family from Tennessee c. 1835. Isabella Shaw was born June 22, 1788 and is a long, lost child that should be listed in the Shaw-Smith Family Bible of R.F. Vaugh of Lexington, KY inbetween Martha "Patsy" Shaw and Elizabeth "Sarah" Shaw! This family was well-to-do and left a paper trail. Ann Allison was the daughter of Samuel Allison, b. 1725 and Martha McBride of Guilford, NC! Hance Shaw was the grandfather who came to Virginia c. 1700 from Scotland aboard the rich tobacco fleets from Glasgow. In the home of Richard B (E) Hooper and Isabella Shaw (distantly relate! d to the Straws and Buckners closeby neighbors in the Texas 1850 Census taken September 13, 1850 by J. Lister, #84-84 is the son J.J.Hooper and next door #85-85 is Richard Hooper 67 Surveyor from Virginia and wife, Isabella, 62 (the years are exact) and son, Lafayette aged 25, Collumbus, 20, and my matriarch, the widow of Language Professor Daniel E. Wiseman, d. 1856, Caroline (Hooper) Wiseman, aged 30 years with her children, Mariah 12, Amandy, 6, and John 3. Ms. Caroline Hooper Wiseman's child married John Anderson Wheeler, son of the Chief Justice of Texas, Royal Tyler Wheeler, and died leaving only one son, an orphan, Rev. John "Sam Houston" Wheeler raised by Dr. Oliver Porter Fears of Nacogdoches, Texas. In the LDS records, someone named their little girl, Royal Tyler Wheeler in Todd after the man who brought law and order to Texas! Can the graves of William Shaw and Ann Allison, Revolutionary War Hero be found? Thank you. Isabella Shaw like the others were great nieces to President John Adams on the Smith side.

Would someone do a lookup for me on Herschel Barnett? Would like survivor info from a obit. Herschel died on Feb. 11, 1969. He was married to Nonnie Vass, daughter of Mills Perry Vass and Sarah Ann Woodson. Thanks Dan Vass.
