Just a quick aside that you may not be aware of: Daniel Boone was first cousin to Gen. Daniel Morgan of RevWar fame. Both he and Morgan were at the Massacre on the Mongahela wth Gen. Washington during the French and Indian war.
You're right, I didn't!
My hubby is a descendant of Mark Bird, who was married to the sister of George Ross, and is reputed to have sent flour to the men at Valley Forge. Mark Bird's wife was a sister-in-law of another one of the signers. And someone, I think one of George Ross' sisters, ia married to another one of the signers...and the Birds lived fairly near the Boone residence before the Boones headed to the Carolinas.
Rev War history becomes important in my household.
