Thank you Patti. Yes, we've checked with the Boone family researchers, as well as our own research. They have never heard of our Mary Elizabeth Boon(e). Here again, family traditions claim our Mary, called Polly, was a sister of Daniel Boone, and that her father was Squire Edward, or Edward Squire. We have checked all the sons of Squire Boone -- find nothing. If we did not have the one document stating her name, and that she was wife of John Couch, we would believe she probably did not exist. lol btw, the document says that she was "with childe", in August 1774. We believe the "childe" to have been my 3rd gr grandmother, Sarah/Sally Couch, who married James T. Lewis, Jr. Thanks again. 'Preciate the input. Joyce
