Hi, I have heard that some Stone and possibly Careys were with or ahead of Daniel Boone and his Longhunters. Does anyone have the address of the Longhunters on the internet ? Was Daniel's Longhunter trips before or after Great Grandad 19 times back, Co. Ben Cleveland and his blacksmith- guntoting gunsmith servant Toby Cleveland would bear hunt together? Some Stones carried the name Toby in Erath County. Or were these Tennessee Stone and Careys independent freelancers? It was said that Col. Ben Cleveland never lost a battle in 50 Rev. war battles with the British, late 17 770-1780's. One bearhunt from the Carolinas into the Cumberland Gap, Col. Ben and Daniel were bear hunting without dogs , so that their smell and noise would not draw Indians. Some Indian hunters captured them , took all their clothes and most if not all of their weapons and they had to walk home in their birthday suits. I think they lost that battle- maybe it was a compromise. Take care, Charles Wyly
