Also, I was concerned about the length of my post to the list.. The version I tend to believe is in "Daniel Boone" by Bakeless..In it he says Boone got a lot of supplies from William Russell on the Clinch river but after reaching the Powell Valley, Boone sent his son and another man back to Russells to get some more things they might need..Russell sent his son and a Negro with them as they went back to Boones party..They got within three miles of Boones camp and decided to stop and camp for the night..They were attacked by Indians and all were killed except the Negro who hid.. When his son and the Negro didn't return, William Russell set out to see if they were alright and he found them dead..Daniel Boone had also setout looking for them and came upon them a bit later..He buried his son and went back to the party in Powell Valley. That's when they decided against proceeding on to Ky at that time... G. Lee Hearl...
