25. SARAH3 BOONE (SARAH2 MORGAN, EDWARD1) was born June 07, 1724 in New Britain twp., Bucks Co, PA, and died 1815 in Madison (now Estill?) Co., KY. She married JOHN WILCOCKSON May 29, 1742 in Exeter twp., Berks Co., PA, son of GEORGE WILLCOCKSON and ELIZABETH POWELL. He was born September 06, 1720 in Berks Co, PA, and died Aft. 1790 in NC.

The following is from a document written by Bill Scroggins (718 Mill Valley Dr., Taylor Mill, Kentucky 41015) :

John Willcockson has been identified as the son of George Willcockson and Elizabeth Powell.(1) Sarah Boone was a daughter of Squire Boone and Sarah Morgan, who moved from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to Rowan County, North Carolina in 1750.(2)

Elizabeth Powell, who married George Willcockson, was a daughter of Rowland Powell and Maud Richard who were married in 1695.(3) George Willcockson came to Pennsylvania from Cossal, Nottinghamshire, England:(4)

Wilcox (or Wilcoxson) sometime of Cossal

... John Wilcoxson of Cossal, Notts., was father of George Wilcoxson of Cossal, Notts., and afterwards of Pennsylvania where he m. 15 April 1719, Elizabeth, daughter of Rowland Powell, a native of Wales, and d. 1739. His son,

John Wilcox moved to North Carolina in 1750-2, Member of Assembly 1771, served in the American Revolution, moved to Kentucky before 1782, m. 1742 Sarah, dau. of Squire Boone of Pennsylvania (b. Manchester, England, 25 Nov. 1696; d. 1 Jan. 1765), later of Rowan Co., N. Carolina, by Sarah his wife (b. 1700; m. 23 July 1720; and d. 1777), daughter of Edward Morgan of Gwynedd, Montgomery Co., Pa. (a town settled by a colony of Welshmen in 1698, where he purchased 300 acres in 1711), and formerly of Philadelphia. This Edward Morgan (b. 1678-9; d. 1718), according to family records was a son of Sir James Morgan, 4th Bt. of Llantarnam by a first marriage to Anne (by whom he had a dau. Sarah, b. 1676, who m. 1691, Stephen Beasley, and settled in Philadelphia), dau. of Judge Richard Hopton of Bishop Frome, later of Canon Frome (and his wife Susan, dau. of Sir William Harvey), Chief Justice of N. Wales, temp. Charles II and James II, and first cousin therefore of Sir James’s second wife, Alice, widow of Nicholas Jones (whom she had m. 13 April 1683), and dau. of Sir Edward Hopton of Canon Frome (see that family in Landed Gentry of Great Britain), by Deborah (d. 13 July 1702), dau. of Robert Hatton. Sir James Morgan d. 30 April 1718, when the Baronetcy appears to have become extinct (but see The Morgan Family by James Appleton Morgan). John Wilcox was killed by Indians at battle of Bryant Station, Kentucky, 1782. His son, Lieut.-Col. George Wilcox, of Shelby Co., Kentucky, J.P. (1801), High Sheriff (1811), served in the War of 1812 with 8th Kentucky Militia, b. 1766; m. 1789, Elizabeth (b. in London 1774; d. 1814), dau. of John Pinchbeck ...

This genealogical sketch contains several inaccuracies, which do not necessarily diminish the credibility of most of the statements. George Wilcox of Shelby County, Kentucky, whose family used that spelling of the surname, was a son of George Willcockson, Jr. and a nephew of John Willcockson who married Sarah Boone. George Willcockson, Jr. married Elizabeth Hall. John Willcockson was not killed at Bryan’s Station in 1782. He was alive in North Carolina in 1790 and 1798.(5)Squire Boone was born in Devonshire, England, not Manchester. He married Sarah Morgan on 23 September 1720; not in January.(6) Edward Morgan built his house in Towamencin Township in 1695 and the deeds for the land were dated in 1708 and 1714.(7)

James Appleton Morgan confused the marriage sequence of Sir James Morgan by publishing that his first wife was Anne Hopton, widow of Nicholas Jones, and that she bore one son, Edward Morgan, who died in infancy. He identified the second wife of Sir James as Alice Hopton, the mother of Sarah Morgan, who married Stephen Beasley, and Edward Morgan, the father of Sarah Morgan Boone.(8) A chronological analysis of the facts proves that Sir James Morgan of Llantarnam had to be married first to Anne Hopton and then to Alice Hopton Jones. Edward Morgan, who, traditionally, was the father of Sarah Morgan Boone, and Sarah Morgan Beasley had to be children of the first marriage.(9)

Supporting proof of the Burke lineage has not been found but it is substantiated by the evidence that has been located. George Willcockson and Elizabeth Powell were married on the 15th of the 2nd month 1719:(10)

Page 37 George Wilcockson, son of John Wilcockson of Nottingham, Great Britain and Elizabeth Powel, daughter of Rowland Powel of Haverford married in meetinghouse in Haverford 2.15.1719

George Willcockson died before 25 October 1739 in Chester County, when Elizabeth Willcockson was granted administration of his estate, against a bond in the amount of 160 pounds, secured by Philip Yarnall and Joseph Pugh.# Elizabeth Powell Willcockson died shortly thereafter because the administration of her estate occurred in 1740. Philip Yarnall, administrator for Elizabeth Wilcox, widow and relict of George Wilcox, her late husband, who had died intestate leaving several children to survive them, particularly Mary Wilcox, aged about five years, who needed support, petitioned the court for Mary Wilcox to be bound out to John Yarnall until age eighteen, and to be taught to read and write, and "housifrey."(12)

Philip and John Yarnall provide a thread of circumstantial evidence connecting George and Elizabeth Powell Willcockson with the Boone family. After the death of Samuel Boone, brother of Squire Boone, Sr., his widow Elizabeth Cassel Boone married Joseph Yarnall, son of Francis Yarnall and Hannah Baker, on the 29th of the 07th month, 1748.(13) The relationship between Philip, John and Joseph Yarnall has not been determined, but they must have been kin.

There is another connection between the Willcocksons of Chester County and the Boones of Lancaster County which supports the theory that John Willcockson, who married Sarah Boone, was the son of George Willcockson and Elizabeth Powell. When the parents of Elizabeth Powell Willcockson, Rowland Powell and Maud Richard, were married in 1695, William and Mary Howell witnessed the ceremony.(14) Their daughter Deborah Howell married George Boone IV, an uncle of Sarah Boone Willcockson, in 1713.(15) This coincidence establishes a social relationship between the Powells and Boones that could have resulted in the meeting of John Willcockson and Sarah Boone. When the children of George and Elizabeth Powell Willcockson were orphaned, it is conceivable that Deborah Howell Boone arranged for their sons to go to her father-in-law for employment. Squire Boone reputedly operated a substantial weaving business, so it is plausible that John Willcockson was a weaver in the employ of Boone. It is known that John lived with the Boone family before he married Sarah.

George Willcockson was also a weaver and his residence in Uwchlan Township, Chester County, was about fifteen to twenty miles from the Boone home in Lancaster County. If the eldest child of George and Elizabeth Powell Willcockson was a son, born soon after their marriage in 1719, he would be of the approximate age of John Willcockson who married Sarah Boone. Presuming that the eldest child of George Willcockson was eighteen or nineteen years old when George died about 1739, he may have assumed responsibility for younger brothers, without enactment of official guardianship or apprenticeship papers.

George Willcockson, who apparently lived with Squire Boone, Sr. at the same time as John Willcockson, probably was George, Jr. He was identified as a relative of John Willcockson by Isaiah Boone, a nephew of Daniel Boone:(16)

George Wilcoxen a young man entirely unacquainted with the practical use of a gun, expressed a desire to go out a deer-hunting. For this purpose, he borrowed Squire Boone’s long musket, and requested Mr. Boone to load it for him over night, that he might lay it away for early morning use. During the evening, Miller and young Boone learning this sporting design, quietly took away the musket from its position, drew the ball, & put in load enough for half a dozen ordinary charges, and carefully replaced it. On the morrow at peep of day, Young Wilcoxen shouldered his gun and started out to try his luck ... and after he had started, Miller and Boone began to have their misgivings lest the over-loaded musket should burst, and kill or seriously injure Wilcoxen.

About sun-rise they heard a loud report, like a small cannon, some distance off, and, soon after, much to their relief, discovered Wilcoxen approaching ... his face all covered with blood ... nose and face badly bruised and a deep gash in his forehead ... not of a serious character, enquired if he had shot at a deer and with what success? Yes, he had a pretty fair shot at a short distance; described the glade ... but, from the mingled effects of pain and fear, could not tell what had become of the deer ... Miller and Boone went to the spot indicated, and there found the deer dead. This George Wilcoxen was a relative of John Wilcoxen, who, about this period, married Boone's eldest sister Sarah ...

Miller and young Boone, the pranksters of the episode, were Henry Miller and Daniel Boone. Miller, who was several years older than Daniel Boone, was employed by Squire Boone in his gunshop. He and Daniel were close companions for many years.(17)

The description of George Willcockson and Daniel Boone as young suggests that they were boys. Daniel Boone, who was born in 1734, would have been eight years old in 1742. Going out to hunt alone, George Willcockson probably was in his early teens, perhaps born about 1730, which could make him a younger brother of John Willcockson.

The exact date of the marriage of John Willcockson and Sarah Boone has not been determined, but it was shortly before the 29th of the 5th month, 1742. They were married in the part of Lancaster County that became Berks County in 1752. The Boones were members of the Exeter Meeting of the Society of Friends and John Willcockson was not, so, when John and Sarah married, she and her parents were condemned by the Quakers for her act:(18)

5-29, 1742, Sarah, daughter of Squire Boone, treated with for marrying out.

5-29, 1742, Sarah Boone married out of unity with Friends, (1st offence of this kind). Friends appointed to speak to the father, Squire Boone.

6-26, 1742, Squire Boone declareth he did not countenance or consent to the marriage but confesseth himself in fault in keeping them in his house after their keeping company but that he was in a great streight in not knowing what to do, and hopeth to be more careful in the future.

It is evident, from the wording of the confession of Squire Boone to the Friends of Exeter Meeting, that John Willcockson and Sarah Boone had been living together in the house of her father, who admitted that he had failed to keep them apart, "after their keeping company." Squire did not attempt to dignify the relationship by saying, "after they were married." In stating that he, "did not countenance or consent to the marriage," Boone undoubtedly was saying that he did not approve of their intimacy, but that, after it happened, he was remiss in permitting them to continue the relationship without the benefit of the blessings of the law or the clergy. Marriage in this instance probably was spontaneous and by consent and intention, rather than by formal ceremony; a not uncommon procedure in the wilderness, where ministers and justices were scarce. Had a marriage been anticipated, John Willcockson could have been accepted into fellowship with the Friends, by a simple request for membership after professing belief in their principles. In this instance it appears that Squire and Sarah Morgan Boone were subject to stronger criticism than is recorded in this portion of the church minutes, because Sarah was pregnant when the marriage took place. The Boone family’s difficulties with the Quakers began earlier, when Squire Boone’s sister Mary married John Webb in 1720, and ended when Squire’s eldest son Israel married out of unity in 1747:(19)

Once again the Boones fell out of harmony with the Friends. Sarah, Daniel’s eldest sister, had fallen in love with a young man named Wilcoxen, and in 1742 married him though he was not a Quaker. She was promptly censured by the Exeter Meeting for "marrying out," as were her mother and father for allowing it, and all three expressed contrition. But Squire Boone said, "that he was in a great streight in not knowing what to do, seeing he was somewhat Sensible that they had been too Conversant before."

That Sarah and her young man had been "too Conversant" was already a community rumor and, if true, a transgression the Meeting could hardly overlook. A committee of Quaker ladies was appointed to look into the question and counting backward, "found the truth of a former suspicion vis., that Sarah Wilcoxen, daughter of Squire Boone, was with child before she was married." The ladies listened solemnly to the paper Sarah "produced to this Meeting condemning the said action," then they expelled her.

It was a trying time for Squire Boone and his wife. Exeter, a small settlement with little enough for diversion, kept few secrets. Nor was Sarah’s their only disgrace. "The Boones were active for good," the Meeting book notes around this time, "but sometimes overcome with evil. Strong drink, so common, overcame one or more who had to be dealt with."

Squire began thinking about leaving Pennsylvania. And though trouble with the Friends prodded him, it was not the only reason. His free spirit, his wanderlust, was at large again. He wanted to be where the forest was outside his front door.

Obviously Squire and Sarah placed their love for their daughter, their daughter’s happiness and her love for John Willcockson, above their formal connection with religion. It was a difficult situation, but they seem to have put family first and rallied together to survive against oppression.

The guides at the (now) Berks County, Pennsylvania, homestead of Squire Boone point out that the affair of John Willcockson and Sarah Boone was one of the events that drove the Boones from the Society of Friends. It was part of their narration in 1980 to relate that, when Squire finally made up his mind to leave Pennsylvania, he was so embittered by his neighbors’ attitudes that, on the day that he left, he made a pile of all of his belongings, which wouldn't fit into the wagons, and burned them, rather than let his neighbors have them.

John and Sarah Boone Willcockson apparently accompanied her family to North Carolina, where John appears on the first known tax list that was compiled in 1759. Subsequent tax lists show the presence of others of the Willcockson family in North Carolina:(20)

The 1790 North Carolina tax list, which serves as a replacement for the destroyed

1790 Federal census, gives the following family groups for the Willcocksons, who resided in Salisbury District, Rowan County:(22)

Wilcoxson, William 3 white males over 16; 2 white males under 16; 2 white females; 2 slaves

John, Sen. 1 white male over 16; 1 white male under 16; 1 white female

John, Jun. 1 white male over 16; 4 white males under 16; 6 white females

John Willcockson (Willcoxson), Sr. was a constable in North Carolina. On 15 January 1760 Jacob Hunter was appointed "in the Room of John Wilcox, Rowan County." In 1768/9 John Willcockson was security on a bond when Samuel Hall sued George Willcockson (Wilcocks), weaver.(23)

John Willcockson, Sr. was not a member of the North Carolina Assembly in 1771, as stated in Burke’s genealogy. John Willcox, who was a burgess to the North Carolina Assembly, was a representative from Chatham County and the son of Thomas Willcox of Concord, Pennsylvania, who died in North Carolina in 1793.(24)

The Rowan County land of Squire Boone was in the Yadkin River valley, on Bear Creek, in what is now Davie County. An historical marker denotes the site at a bridge over Bear Creek on US64, west of Mocksville. John Willcockson had two North Carolina grants for land on Bear Creek, which were recorded in Rowan County on 10 October 1783:(25)

The State grants (#342 at 50 shillings the 100 acres) to John Wilcockson 640 acres on both sides Bear Creek next ----- Bentley & Thomas Maxfield.

The State grants (#337 at 50 shillings the 100 acres) to John Wilcox 500 acres on Bear Creek next Benjamin Gaither.

On 24 September 1787 John Willcockson (Wilcockson), Sr., a farmer of Rowan County, North Carolina, let the deceased Abraham Weltey and his heirs have 520 acres on Bear Creek, next to Thomas Maxfield, for 300 pounds. The deed was witnessed by Benjamin Hodgens, Samuel Willcockson and Joseph Roland and proved by the last named in February 1788.# There was no wife’s signature.

John Willcockson (Wilcockson) and Elizabeth (Elibeth) Welsh witnessed a deed on 12

September 1788 from William Hall of Rowan County, North Carolina, to William Willcockson (Wilcoxson) of Berks (Burkes) County, Pennsylvania, for 393 acres on the waters of Bear Creek, for 244 pounds current money of North Carolina.(26)

On 20 July 1795 John Willcockson, Sr. of Rowan County, North Carolina, let Daniel Lewis have 30 acres on Bear Creek, next to John Rowland, for 30 pounds. The deed was witnessed by Jacob Roland (sic) and Samuel Kaufman and proved by John Hendricks in August 1801.(27) There was no wife’s signature. Daniel Lewis married Hannah Willcockson who probably was a sister of John Willcockson, Sr.

On 22 July 1795 Jacob Keller let John Willcockson (Wilcoxon), both of Rowan County, North Carolina, have 164 acres on both sides of Bear (Bare) Creek. next to the old survey of said Keller, for 100 pounds. The deed was witnessed by Elijah Renshaw and William Butler and proved by the latter in August 1795.(28)

On 26 August 1795 John Willcockson, Sr. sold to Jacob Keller, both of Rowan County, for 3 pounds North Carolina money, 4 acres on the east side of Bear Creek, which was part of a State Grant to John Willcockson, Sr. The deed was signed by John Willcockson with his mark and was witnessed by William Willcockson and William Butlar.(29)

On 26 February 1798 John Willcockson, Sr. let William Willcockson, both of Rowan County, North Carolina, have 165 acres on both sides of Bear Creek, next to Jacob Keller’s half-mile branch, for 575 pounds. The deed was witnessed by Squire Willcockson and Samuel Willcockson and proved by the latter in May 1805.(30) On the same day, John Willcockson, Sr. conveyed to William Willcockson, both of Rowan County, for 150 pounds specie, 160 acres on Bear Creek, which adjoined Rowland’s old line, now Edward Parker’s, and Jacob Keller’s (Keeler’s) corner. The deed was signed by John with his mark and witnessed by Samuel Willcockson and Squire Willcockson. Samuel proved it in Rowan County Court in May 1805.(31)

These North Carolina deed transactions, and the 1790 tax list, indicate that John Willcockson, Sr. was alive in 1783 and as late as 1798, which disproves the claim, by some of the descendants of John Willcockson, that he was killed at Bryan’s Station in 1782. The deeds which were proved by John Willcockson’s son Samuel in 1805 indicate that John probably made the deeds out to his youngest son William in advance, but retained ownership until his death, between 1798 and 1805, at which time the deeds were presented into court.

John and Sarah Boone Willcockson came to Kentucky in 1779, with a family group,(32) where they apparently resided for a time at Boonesborough.(33) French Tipton, an early historian who was commissioned to prepare a history of Madison County, Kentucky, died before his collection was published. Among his collected research material is a list of persons at Fort Boonesborough which includes Sally Boone Wilcox, Billy Wilcox and Daniel Wilcoxson.(34) The residency there by John and Sarah Boone Willcockson is accepted by the Society of Boonesborough.(35)

If John and Sarah Boone Willcockson were in Kentucky in 1779, they must have returned to North Carolina before 1783, when he was involved in land transactions there, and afterward. A letter by Jeremiah F. Willcoxen of Canton, Illinois, who wrote to Lyman C. Draper in 1861, states that John Willcockson died in Rowan County, North Carolina, and that Sarah Boone Willcockson died in Kentucky:(36)

Mr. Draper Dear Sir I am a Son of Elijah Willcoxen deceased. I have just received a letter from you addressed to him. It becomes my painful duty to inform you that my Father is no more. He died the 3rd of last July in his 71st year, he was born July 28th, 1789. You say you was informed that my Father was a Nephew of Col. Boon. He was GrandNephew of Col Boon, being a Son of Samuel Willcoxen who was a Son of John and Sarah Willcoxen, formerly Sarah Boon a Sister of Col Boon. John Willcoxen & Sarah Boon was married in North Carolina [we are not in possession of the date] He died in Rowan County N. Carolina, after which She removed to Kentucky with her GrandSon [Jesse Boon Willcoxen] with whom she lived till her death which took place in the year 1818, at the age of about 97 years. GrandFather Samuel Willcoxen married Anna Jordon [the date we have not], they were married in N. Carolina and afterwards removed to Kentucky where he died in the year 1825 at the age of 71 years. GrandMother came to Illinois with my Father and remained with us till she died in the year 1880 [?] at the age of 84 years. Mother Says she thinks Col. Boon never revisited Kentucky after he settled in Missouri. [Illegible sentence - BW; the letter continues] 3rd Uncle Jesse B.Willcoxen lived in Madison County, Ky., he is not living he has been dead about thirty five years. 4th John Willcoxens Children are none living. 5th Grandfathers Brother Daniel died in Kentucky but we do not know whether he was the one you refer to or not we do not know any thing of his family. I do not remember to have heard Father relate any important Facts about Col. Boon but what is generally known. I am not acquainted with Richard Osbourne but I will make some inquiries after him & should I see him I will do as you request. Very Respectfully Yours J. F. Willcoxen

The age of 97, attributed to Sarah in 1814, cannot be correct since it calculates to a birth year of 1717 and she was born in 1724. Her age at death was given as 91 in a death notice of Daniel Boone, which, coupled with her birth year, calculates to a death year of 1815.(37)

Since Jesse Boone Willcockson lived in Madison County, Kentucky, that apparently

is where Sarah Boone Willcockson died.

It was stated that Sarah Boone Willcockson (Wilcoxson), oldest sister of Daniel Boone, died in Madison County, Kentucky, in 1815, in an application for membership in the Sons of the American Revolution, but the applicant incorrectly claimed that she was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania, on 18 June 1724, when Berks County was not formed from Lancaster County until 1752 and, furthermore, Squire Boone resided in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in 1724. The applicant also stated that Sarah Boone and John Willcockson (Wilcoxson) were married in Berks County in 1742. He mistakenly claimed that John was born in Rowan County, North Carolina, in 1720 and declared that he was killed on 19 August 1782 in Fayette County, Kentucky, while defending Bryan’s (Bryant’s) Station, and is buried in Fayette County.(39) This application was based on the prior membership of the applicant’s grandfather(40) and reference is given to the Daughters of the American Revolution Patriot Index, 1966, and the Sons of the American Revolution Magazine, Fall 1984, but the magazine article, which deals with the siege of Bryan’s Station and the subsequent Battle of Blue Licks, does not mention John Willcockson.

The applicant, who descends from John and Sarah Boone Willcockson through Hiram Bryant, son of William and Rachel Willcockson Bryant, does not have proof of the appearance or death of John Willcockson at Bryan’s Station. The application gives the birth date of Rachel Willcockson as 1770 in Rowan County, North Carolina, and her death date as about 1821 in Callaway County, Missouri. William Bryant is shown as being born in Wales in 1739 and as dying in Boone County, Missouri, on 06 September 1834. They were married in Rowan County in 1790.(41)

After the death of Rachel Willcockson Bryant, William married (2) Nancy Wood.(42)

It has been stated that Sarah Boone Willcockson died about 1815 in Estill County, KY. Estill County was formed from parts of Clark and Madison counties in 1808. (43)

Notes for ISRAEL WILCOCKSON: Bill Scroggins: Israel Willcockson probably came to Kentucky in the wagon train with his parents. He obtained a preemption for 400 acres of land, upon which he settled in April 1779 and made an improvement. The tract, which contained a spring, was located between Lawrence Creek and the middle and upper roads from Lower Blue Licks to Limestone (Maysville), about ten miles from the licks and two miles from William McConnell's. Israel assigned the preemption to Levi Todd. Israel was killed, and his brother Daniel escaped, when Indians attacked them as they were plowing outside of the fort at Bryan's Station in 1781

Notes for ISRAEL BOONE:

Israel was read out of Exeter MM for marrying a non-Quaker (31 Dec 1747).

A quote from Nathan Boone about Israel Boone: Died of consumption at an early age. His wife had previously died, and as no other Boones ever had it, it was thought he caught it from his wife. Young Jesse was raised by my father and mother. Jesse was always unlucky, first breaking his leg and then his arm. We don't believe that Jesse Boone came to Kentucky during this hunt; Neeley was the man who came out with Squire Boone and returned home by himself.

i. JAMES4 BOONE, b. May 03, 1757, NC; d. October 09, 1773, Cumberland gap, by Indians.

Notes for JAMES BOONE:

http://www.danielboonefamily.org/children/sons-ja-is-wi/lostsons.shtml

Daniel's and Rebecca's firstborn child was James Boone. James was born 3 May 1757. He was killed by a group of Shawnee Indians near Wallen's Creek in the Powell Valley while crossing the Clinch Mountains in Virginia on 10 October 1773.

Daniel Boone was leading a party of settlers, including his own family, into Kentucky. They were scheduled to meet up with another group of settlers, the Captain William Russell party, at a specified location. Daniel decided they needed more supplies so he sent James back to meet the Russell party, verify their location, and collect more supplies. Two Mendenhall boys went with him. James made it back to Captain Russell and planned to ride along with them to meet with his family and the rest of their group. But it appears that Captain Russell sent James and his group along with his own son, Henry Russell, on ahead to tell Boone that they were coming. Somehow the boys must have gotten lost because they ended up camping for the night on Wallen's Ridge in Va. As it turned out, they were only about 3 miles from where the Boone party was camped. During the night they were attacked by a Shawnee group which was led by 'Big Jim,' an Indian familiar to Daniel Boone and to his children, his having visited at their home in N. Carolina. James and the others were horribly tortured and later killed, all except for one young black slave who hid in a canebrake at the edge of a nearby creek, and a boy by the name of Isaac Crabtree who had joined them on the trail.

When word arrived at Boone's camp that his beloved son and his companions had been murdered, Daniel packed to go to the site of the massacre and to attempt to track the persons who had performed the awful deed. He tracked them for some distance but they escaped him.

Before Daniel left the camp, Rebecca gave him two of her handmade linen sheets to wrap the two boys in for burial. The boys were buried in the same grave on the area of Powell's Valley where they were slain. In 1774 Daniel made another trip to the burial site and found signs that animals had tried to disturb the grave. He dug down, removed the bodies from the grave and dug the grave deeper. Afterwards he wrapped them again in his own woolen blanket and reburied them, piling the grave high with rocks for more protection from the wild animals.

It is reported that Daniel said this was one of the most dismal, lonely times of his entire life.

A modest monument now stands in memory of James and the others who were murdered. The spot has been identified through historical research to be near the town of present-day Stickleyville, Va. James was 16 years, 5 months, and 7 days old at the time of his death.

ii. ISRAEL BOONE, b. January 25, 1759, NC; d. August 19, 1782, KY, in battle of Blue Licks by Shawnee.

Notes for ISRAEL BOONE:

Israel was Daniel's and Rebecca's second child, born 25 January 1759. He moved with them to Fort Boonesborough and lived there from their arrival till his death. Israel was killed at The Battle Of Blue Licks in Kentucky, while fighting alongside his father, on 19 August 1782.

This was the battle that Daniel had felt was ill-fated from the beginning but was unable to convince the other leaders of that. They were ambushed and many men were killed. (You will find more on this site about the Battle of Blue Licks at a later date.)

Abraham Scholl, a Boone cousin and soldier, was present and witnessed Israel's killing. He reported that Israel could have gotten away but refused to leave his father. He had lost his horse in the heat of the fighting. Daniel found him and gave him his own horse, ordering him to run for his life. Israel refused to leave and stayed to defend his father. During this time he was shot and killed.

Daniel is said to have picked up his son's body and carried it to a cave where he hid it till he could return. Then having no choice, mounted his horse and joined the others who were retreating from the ambush.

Days later when Daniel and others from the fort felt it was safe, they returned to the site of the battle to bury the dead. They have left gruesome accoounts of what the burial party found on that hot August day in Kentucky. The best they could do was to bury the men where they found them. Many of them were unrecognizable. Daniel found Israel in the cave and took him back to Boone's Staion where he was buried. Many men were buried in a mass grave on the battlefield which is now The Blue Licks Battlefield State Park.

Israel was 23 years, 6 months, and 25 days old at the time of his death.

Daniel Boone's children stated years afterward, that Daniel could never speak of either of his two murdered sons without tears forming in his eyes.

Notes for WILLIAM BRYAN BOONE:

William was born at the settlement near Clinch Mountain, Virginia about 20 June 1775. He died a few weeks later. William is buried in an unmarked grave in the old Moore's Fort Cemetery on a little hill overlooking the fort and Clinch River. Among Draper's records is a roster list dated 6 October 1774 which states the number of men at each fort in the area and the names of the leaders of those forts. Daniel Boone is listed as the Officer In Charge at Moore's Fort. This tells us that it was some time before the Boones resumed their trip to Kentucky, after the loss of their son, William. [The Boones lived at Blackmore's Fort and Moore's Fort in Virginia for about 2 years after the death of their oldest son, James. Daniel Boone was placed in command of Moore's and Blackmore's Forts in 1774 as a Captain of militia and continued in command of them until he sucessfully traveled to Kentucky in the spring of 1775 and founded Fort Boonesborough.]

Notes for JOHN STEWART:

From Early Osborne Alley Families by Rita Sutton: "John Stewart was on an exploring and hunting trip to Kentucky with Daniel Boone, John Findley and others. After a time, most of the party returned to North Carolina, but Boone and Stewart remained in Kentucky. Supplies were broguht to them by settlers from the Yadkin. Younger brother Squire Boone stayed with Daniel and John Stewart. One day Stewart went out alone and did not return. Several years later, on Rockcastle river a skeleton was found in a large,

hollow sycamore tree. A bone in the upper arm had been broken, so it was thought that John Stewart had been wounded, then escaped from the Indians, only to bleed to death.

Burial: Cedar Valley Methodist Church

Notes for COLBERT BLAIR:

E-mail from Gene Blair (gblair2@comcast.net) to JQ, Oct 2007

I notice that in your entry on Sarah Morgan < John < Edward, who married Colbert Blair you have her dying in Franklin Co. GA. She died in Caldwell < Burke < Rown County NC and is buried in the cemetery of the Cedar Valley Methidist Church, beside her husband. (Source: gravestone). Colbert and his son John founded that church. .

My data on the very early Blairs is from family lore and tradition, always suspect. The parents of Colbert I (my romans) were supposedly James I and Mary (Colbert) Blair, who immigrated into Bucks Co. in the 1720's. Colbert was supposedly born there about 1730. They were originally Scotch Presbyterians. And I wonder why I've never seen a record that Sarah Morgan was dismissed from the Friends Meeting for marrying out.

I've searched everywhere I know for tracks of this James I and Mary (Colbert) Blair, to no avail. I even hired Frances Waite, a professional up there and she couldn't find anything either. As Colbert I and his brother

James II moved down through the Shenandoah Vally to Rowan > Burke > Caldwell Co. NC in the 1760's, data becomes more provable. Sometime after this move the family became Methodist. The only exception was Enos, son of Colbert I and Sarah (Morgan) Blair, who married Hannah Millikan. Hannah's parents were

William and Jane (White) Millikan and it was a strong Quaker family. I don't know of one of their descendants even today who is not of the Quaker faith. The James D. Blair I'm cc'ing on this is of that line, a Quaker and the Corresponding Secretary of our Blair Society for Genealogical Research.

One problem is that there were many James Blairs in SE PA at the time. And of course middle names were rare until the RevWar made them desirable. All these Jameses have given me migraines for 30 years now.

I have a large database on my Blairs and I'm always happy to share what I have. If you can think I can be of any service to you in your efforts please call on me.

Best Regards, Gene Blair on St. Simons Island GA.

Sources: JPA, HCC, HWC, POE, WEBB (cites Blair Newsletter art., NC St. Lib.). BLAIRMAG1929, HINSHAW, family papers, others as noted in individual entries. He moved into Virginia, then possibly to Guilford County, NC, about 1766/67, then to Lower Creek, Rowan Co. (now Caldwell Co.) at Choate's Creek, 2 miles from Blair's Fork, about 1774. His first official presence there was noted in Feb 1775, when he was named a Road Juror in that section. He & son John moved to Cedar Valley about 1799, where "The Old Blair Homestead" was established. He is listed in the 1800 Burke census. He received a land patent in Amherst Co. VA on 10 July 1766, the same day his father or brother, James Colbard (sic) received one. Colbert's land, as his father's or brother's, was on both sides of the South Branch of the Middle Fork of the Pedlar River and the two parcels totalled one section, 640 acres.

Colbert was a Loyalist sympathizer during the Rev. War, and it's possible a son (possibly a James), fought for the British in the war and was killed at the battle of King's Mountain. It is generally recognized that a Blair of unknown given name from that county was so killed, leaving a widow, Margaret (Sudderth) who then married William Edmisten (Edmiston?). Some have thought he was a Quaker, based primarily on his Loyalist sympathies. I don't think so, I believe he was most likely a Scots Presbyterian. His will was proved in Jan 1807 by Laben Day. Executor was John Blair.

NOTE ON COUNTY REFERENCES: Early references to Burke Co., NC, actually should be Rowan, from which

Wilkes and Burke were formed in 1777. Caldwell was formed partly from Wilkes and Burke in 1841. Our early Blairs lived in what was Rowan, later Burke, now Caldwell County.

>From Dr. Roger D. Grider (GRIDER): When the estate of Samuel Lowery was settled in the late 1790s, Colbert Blair and son John Blair purchased over 500 acres in Cedar Valley and one acre was reserved for a cemetery. In 1803, shortly before his death, Colbert deeded land to his family and set aside one acre near the cemetery for a church and school. I'm not sure when the Blair Church-School first served the community, but I believe it remained in operation until after the Civil War, at which time it was replaced by the Cedar Valley Methodist Episcopal Church South which was later destroyed by fire and subsequently replaced by the Cedar Valley Methodist Church in 1906.

WIFE

-

Sarah MORGAN-594

Evidently d. after 1800 census. Poss. sister to John Morgan, a neighbor of Colbert's on Lower Creek, and to Leah Morgan, w/o William Scholl, whose son Joseph mar. Levina Boone, D/O Daniel the explorer. The Morgans and Blairs were probably neighbors in VA prior to their removal to NC. (Source: POE)

However: A paper, "The Origin of Elizabeth, Wife of William Baldwin," in Spring 1994 issue of The Guilford Genealogist, offers compelling circumstancial evidence that she was the sister of that Elizabeth and d/o John & Sarah (Lloyd) Morgan. This John was s/o Edward Morgan of Gwynned Twp. PA. John's sister Sarah mar. Squire Boone and mothered the explorer Daniel Boone. If the theory proposed in this well-researched and thoughtfully presented paper by Stewart Baldwin is accurate, then Sarah Morgan Blair was a 1st cousin to Daniel Boone. She is probably buried in the Cedar Valley Methodist Church Cemetery with her husband.

Notes for ISABEL BLAIR:

Isabel BLAIR-2870

Sources: POE, IGI, Grider family papers. It is possible that she was the daughter of James II but Colbert I appears an equally likely parent, as there is some anecdotal connection (GARNER) passed on by a now-dead descendant. She was about 97 on 15 May 1855 (Her land bounty application, Henderson Co. TN) although her tombstone has her dying at about 90. Birth date from her stone of 13 Dec 1761 conflicts with her (currently assigned) brother James' birth, but others place her birth at 1758-60. "Revolutionary War Soldiers of Western NC, Burke Co. Vol. I," by E.R. White,1984, (John's entry) has her age 93 in 1853 and b. 1761. That source also has marriage year and place. Her pension certificate recorded 15 May 1855 in the Pension Office, Vol. e, p. 290. Barbara Glonce Clepper, BSGR 0227, a descendant, has her as "Tabitha Isabel." They were married by John Connely, J.P.
