> Hi Tom, funny that you mention Mercer co., KY. There were a family of > Mitchells there who were married into the BOONE (Daniel Boone), family. Do you know anything of a Moses Mitchell, or Andrew Mitchell in your line? Doris The message below was written about my Mitchell ancestor that married a Henderson - not marry a Boone. I think the above message and this must tie in some way, but I cannot figure out how unless they are siblings of my ancestor???? "Joab Mitchell was a pioneer of the west having lived with Daniel Boone in the Fort where Boonesboro KY now stands and where he died on March 13, 1780." "Samuel Henderson who died in Franklin City, Tenn. was born in NC. He went with Daniel Boone in the early settlement of Ky and became attached to Eliza Calloway, the daughter of Col. Calloway, the bosom friend of Dan Boone and was married, but before she married, Eliza and a daughter of Dan Boone were taken captive by the Indians and on the third day were recaptured by the whites." Related names - Henderson, Dyer, Haile, Hall, etc. This line does have surnames as middle names as mentioned by someone on this list. It is said that one of the Hendersons owned most of what is now KY. Marlene
