Ref: "Daniel Boone" by John Mason Brown, excerpts from pages 59, 60 & 61... Daniel and his group left the Yadkin on September 25, 1773 (for KY) and while camping in Powell's Valley he discovered that more flour and farming tools were needed. Daniel sent his son, James, and a few others back to Russell's farm to pick up the additions and on the return trip James and the others got lost, were attacked by Indians and James was killed. This is when the group (Daniel didn't want to) decided to return to NC. Some still had homes there, but Daniel didn't. He wanted to stay as close to KY as he could so he and his family spent the winter in a friend's abandoned cabin on the Clinch River in Tennessee. I couldn't find reference to exactly when or where Daniel & Rebecca were married, but on pg. 28, it's written that Rebecca was 17 years old with jet black hair and eyes and her father (Joseph Bryan) was a neighbor whose brother married one of Daniel's sisters... the Bryans were also from PA. Pg. 28 says that the migration route of the Boones was southwest across PA, down the Cumberland Valley to the Shenandoah in VA, to NC (Yadkin) and when they left PA they had no destination. This is a very interesting, easy to read book. Hope this helps.
