Doris, All documents we have, including extractions from Sprakel's book on the Boone family, indicate that Daniel Boone had only one sister named Elizabeth. Elizabeth married William Grant and their daughter Marry Grant married Moses Mitchell on 3/27/1775. Moses and Mary did have a son also named Moses, b. 12/8/1790. There are other Moses Mitchells in the same time periods, but none we can find connected to the Boones. I would be most interested in viewing the documents in your possession. Can you either scan them and email them to smm@focalpointlights.com or mail them to my home, address below. Thank you! ...........................................

Here goes: Moses Mitchell was the son of Sir Gavin Mitchell and Margaret Campbell, daughter of the 8th Duke of Argyle. Gavin came to America in 1736 with 6 sons 4 daughters, and a son-in-law, and grandchildren totalling 70 persons. John Mitchell, son of Gavin and brother of Moses built the first mill on Tidewater on the Schuylkill River near Philadelphia and died therein 1760. In 1762 Mose and his mother removed to the Yadkin district of NC with a colony of Presbyterians under Rev. Robert Hall. Moses married Mary Grant(1) and Elizabeth Boone(2), sister of Daniel Boone. *notes are fuzzy here--mention of a Rebecca Boone, apparently Daniel's wife, was pregnant and persuaded Daniel to leave Yadkin NC because of attacks by the Cherokees. Daniel left and went off to VA. * Now this is confusing---there is also mention of an Elizabeth Boone married to William Grant. It states that William Grant and his party immigrated to KY in 1779. He built a fort at Bryon Station. Moses Mitchell then married Dilly Greer in 1800. When Dilly died he married Elizabeth Grant (1801), so Dilly may have died during childbirth. Elizabeth is the sister of 1st wife Mary Grant. To them was born Edmond Mitchell, Esq. He was a high sherrif of North Iredell and a tax collector. He married Sarah Mayberry. After Sarah's death he married Nancy Salmond. (Iredell co.) So does this mean that Daniel Boone had 2 sisters named Elizabeth? This article states that Moses married Elizabeth Boone sister of Daniel, and that an Elizabeth Boone sisiter of Daniel also marries a William Grant. Let me know what you think.
