According to the book "Daniel Boone" by Bakeless, if I remember correctly, Bakeless states that during the Indian attacks on the settlements near the Yadkin, Squire Boone took his family back to Maryland and Daniel Boone borrowed a buggy or wagon and he and Rebecka went to Culpeper Va. and it was inferred that they went about the time they were married. Apparently, old Squire returned to the Yadkin several years before Daniel Boone started the illfated journey to Kentucky in 1773. Daniel Boone was living on the Clinch River in VA. in 1774 and served under Capt. William Russell. In the spring of 1774 he and Michael Stoner were sent to Ky to warn the surveyors that and Indian war was imminent and they should remove from Ky. for their safety. Boone and Stoner were gone 58 days and helped Harrod build some cabins in Ky. Boone returned too late to join the battle at Point Pleasant and was assigned to help guard the Forts on the Clinch. G.
