Daniel Boone IV made the decorative ironwork in my Dad’s house.

Daniel Boone is my 7th Great Uncle. I descend through his sister, Sarah. Thanks to COVID, the Boone Society’s reunion was cancelled this year. Thank you for posting this thread!

I was born in Kentucky, raised in Missouri, listened to stories of Boone and Crockett. Read a lot stories about those guys and their kind. Hunted, trapped, fished, and played hell in the Missouri mud. I’m an old man and have no regrets. America is a blessing on all who call her home. IMHO

I hear tell Daniel Boone killed him a barr when he was only three.

Hmmmmm, I wonder - any relation to AG Barr?

[newfreep]

LOL!

I mixed my frontier heroes....s/b Davey Crockett.

Remarkable frontiersman. Boone explored the Yellowstone River drainage when he was in his 80s.

I yearn to have lived in those yeats.

My condolences to his friends and family.

I am a descendant of Squire Boone - Daniel Boone’s brother.

Who ya got?

[Yogafist]

Haha. He is my first cousin, 7 times removed. But, I am sure there are thousands of people related to him today.

I yearn to have lived in those years.

I'm too fond of indoor plumbing for that.

My great-great-great, etc. uncle Benjamin Hinkle was Boone's brother-in-law and lived near him on the Forks of the Yadkin in the 1750s. He was married to Susannah Bryan, a sister of Boone's wife Rebecca.

Wow! Only 20 years before Biden started serving in the Senate.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Considering that it’s Donald Trumps’ fault that he died, I’m surprised that the MSM isn’t covering this! Everything negative that happens throughout the entire universe-past, present, and future-is Donald Trumps’ fault, according to The Left and MSM. Just ask Joe Biden.

I live near Boonesborough. My cousin used to live there because his dad worked on the locks of the Kentucky River there and we’d go to visit on Sundays.

It’s not a town but today, there’s a replica fort in a State Park where they make candles and do other trades the old fashion way dressed in period dress. It’s about 6-8 miles from I-75 at approximately mile marker 96. One of the local elementary schools is named for Boone (and another for Kit Carson, who was born nearby).

Another COVID death.
