Fred, Thanks for posting this information.  I've always been interested in this relationship between Daniel Boone and Richard Henderson as it seems to play a part in my own family tree.  I have an ancestor Leonard Keeling Bradley (c.1756-1834) who married Mary "Polly" Boone, niece of Daniel Boone.  Although I have yet to prove it, I believe Leonard Keeling Bradley was actually related to Richard Henderson...or, at the very least, to Richard Henderson's wife whose maiden name was Keeling.  I have wondered if the early Henderson & Boone relationship may have played a part in the marriage of LK Bradley & Polly Boone a few years later in Fayette Co., KY. I won't go into more details than this since my reply may be deemed off-topic by the List Admin, but thought I'd at least mention it.  Thanks again.  David--- On Wed, 2/20/13, Fred Duncan <wfred.duncan@gmail.com> wrote: From: Fred Duncan <wfred.duncan@gmail.com> Subject: [VA-NORTHERN-NECK] The post Revolution War migration - where did they go?

This company's home office was in Williamsboro, NC, which just happens to be located at the confluence of the above two paths. Daniel Boone's part in history is that he owed Richard Henderson (part owner of this co.) a debt. This company hired Boone & approx. 50 "axemen" to cut a path off the Occoneechie path near Salisbury, NC into TN/KY after they had acquired most of TN/KY from the Cherokee.

I think we've had this discussion here before, but since we are talking about migration and now the Boone family, I will post this again. Daniel Boone and crew were the first Anglo-Southern settlers of Missouri--about 1798. They were already sick of Kentucky. This was before the Louisiana Purchase and long before statehood. They obtained their lands by Spanish land grants. This was in what is now St. Charles, Warren and Lincoln Counties Missouri, chiefly St. Charles and Warren, along the Missouri River, the place of my nativity. The pre-eminent expert, in my view, is Ken Kamper of Florissant, Missouri. However, an easier portal to this data (or at least who to contact about it) can be found in two places: 1. The Boone-Duden Society: http://boone-duden.com/ 2.
