You probably know most of this, but thought it might have something to help you. Boone was born in PA, but in his teens his family moved to the Yadkin River area of NC. Now going to MO from KY, I would figure he followed the rivers, I will be interested in what others know about that. I think he lead people there around 1799. I know he was appointed a judge or something by the Spanish about 60 miles out of St. Louis. It was not American land until 1803 and the LA. Purchase. Mary [email protected]
