Someone is forgetting that it may not have been the bodies of Dan'l and Rebecca that were secreted from MO to KY but actually a slave couple...makes interesting reading. I'm currently reading Jos. Ellis' "His Excellency," which isn't terribly nice to its subject, Gen'l Washington.

Not forgetting. Just never heard that theory. That's an interesting one. It would take DNA evidence to convince me, I'm afraid. --Kathy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carey Bankhead" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 7:34 AM Subject: Re: [MoRandolph] Daniel Boone > Someone is forgetting that it may not have been the bodies of Dan'l and > Rebecca that were secreted from MO to KY but actually a slave > couple...makes interesting reading.

No, there have been articles originating both here in MO at how the KY guys were slickered into thinking that they actually had the Boone bodies, and from KY saying how they had out foxed Missourians. I take 'The Kentucky Explorer,' and it had an article not too long ago re this. It's interesting reading how so many people and places claim the same thing. I was going through several back issues of the 'Explorer" that I got from another subscriber and have donated to the Randolph Co Hist Society in Moberly, and ran across an items several years ago in which it was claimed that a cabin somewhere in KY was what HB Stowe based 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' on. Well this weeks ago I believe it was Frederick, MD who announced that a cabin there was being given historic significance status since it was the one the story was based on. Who knows??

I have visited the graves at Marthasville, and that is certainly the story told in that area. It sounds rather much like a standing "feud" as to who really has Daniel Boone. I believe they claim that the size of the body taken was too tall for Daniel.
