I had ancestors who lived along the Yadkin in the 1760s. Makes we wonder if they knew Boone.
Most likely they did. It was backcountry frontier then. They’d have all known or at least known of everybody there.
Probably the coolest thing I discovered on Ancestry.com, Daniel Boone is my first cousin, 7 times removed.
All four of my grandparent’ families were here before the Revolutionary war, one of the four was there a long time before as they were Meskwaki.
John Finley, who showed Mr Boone the trail that led to Kentucky is an ancestor of mine, two men of my family married Finley sisters, so there were a bunch of double cousins. I’m in Missouri and any families that were here before it was a state came from Kentucky to Missouri.
