Do you know how Moses was associated with DB's family? Yep, I know lots of times offspring are named for friends but as I went down the list, with the exception of Radford the first 8 at least were named for family members. (and perhaps Radford is a name from a family I don't know) Now you say that Moses is connected to DB and the 9th of Buckner's children was Daniel Boone. I assumed it was in honor of. Although one of my couins believes that perhaps Buckner's wife's family was affiliated with the DB expedition...but I have found no evidence. thanks for responding! marti
