M. A., I agree with your assessment of Eckert's supposed histories. His sources are suspect as well as kinship of participants although he claims accuracy. In Madison County 200 Years in Retrospect the Society of Boonesborough attempts to list those who lived in and around Boonesborough over a period of years. Even their listing in the History contains mistakes, or at least one that I am aware dealing with John Kennedy, Sr. and his son John, Jr., the senior being killed instead of the son in 1780. I suppose also that Capt. Twitty was simply honored in this list although he did not live to even see where Boonesborough was. He was killed several miles before the party reached Boonesborough. Their sources include family genealogies as well as court records (most accurate), and submission of an article to a newspaper as late as 1907. Thomas South is listed with 5 of 16 references as having been at Boonesborough and as having been there 1778 and killed with no date. Joseph Drake is listed with 2 sources but no date for his being killed: Petition from Boones Fort, October 16, 1779 and "Fort Boonesborough" by Judge William Chenault, written for Couier-Journal, April 11, 1907.
