American Minute for September 26th:

    Daniel Boone served with George Washington in 1755 during the French and Indian War. In 1765, Daniel Boone explored Florida. Virginia Governor Patrick Henry sent Daniel Boone to survey Kentucky and in 1775, the Pennsylvania Company had him erect a fort on the Kentucky River, which he named Boonesboro. In 1778, during the Revolution, Daniel Boone went to Blue Licks to get salt for his settlement but was captured by Shawnee Indians and taken to Detroit. He learned of British plans to incited Indians to attack his settlement, so he escaped and ran nearly 400 miles in 5 days to warn Boonseboro. Daniel Boone became a Major in the militia and served in Virginia's legislature. He bought land in Kentucky but lost it due to poorly prepared titles. Boone left Kentucky in 1799 and bought land from Spain in Missouri, west of the Mississippi River. Boone then lost this land in 1803 with the Louisiana Purchase. An act of Congress gave him back his land just six years before his death, which was SEPTEMBER 26, 1820. On October 17, 1816, Daniel Boone wrote to his sister-in-law Sarah Boone: "The religion I have is to love and fear God, believe in Jesus Christ, do all the good to my neighbor, and myself that I can, do as little harm as I can help, and trust on God's mercy for the rest."

Now THAT'S a marathon...

He was probably a filthy capitalist, slave-owning exploiter who stole everything he ever got from the poor Indians......after he traded them smallpox-infected blankets....and after he ran off with their womenfolk without paying for them!!

Helo, we're related.  Daniel Boone is also in my ancestory on my mother's side.  My name, Daniel, is both after my dad and the relationship to Boone. So my mother said...

KB, my dads name is also Daniel. Although I don't know if it is from Boone at all. My guess would be Daniel from the Bible.

Pat Boone, and Richard Boone both claimed to be related to Daniel Boone.
 I'm not related to Daniel Boone, but I am as ugly as Richard BooneBig Grin
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

My uncle had a complete family history done back in the 50's.  I got to read it once before we were
"disassociated".
