A good horse, a good gun, and a good dog, are all a man needs today.

If you look up Rebecca Bryan Boone's Grandfather Morgan Bryan he was a Quaker and also lived in Pennsylvania before they moved to North Carolina,Morgan Bryan is buried in the same cemetery as Squire Boone Sr

I would love to hear a little about Col. John Bowman.

I believe one of my ancestors, Alexander Neely, from Neelytown PA was a long hunter with Daniel Boone and his brother Squire Boone

[@glencoe6305]

I knew a man, resident of a nursing home in 1995 where I worked in rural st Louis county Missouri. His name was Clint Neely from Senath Missouri on the bootheel of Missouri near Kentucky and Tennessee and Arkansas. He was related to Neely's Crossing.

@@glencoe6305 may be a distant relative. Most of my close family settled in Cadiz/Hopkinsville KY Trigg and Christian Co.'s

I live approximately 5 miles from Rebekah Boone's father's land, where Daniel and she met. It's still known as Boone's Hill to the locals here in Mt. Airy. There are still Quaker Churches here in town, as well.

That’s awesome!

[@christywinn8583]

Thanks for that information Rebecca's father is my 6th great grandfather and I'm trying to find out more about the Bryan family. I plan on making a trip to North Carolina soon, I already visited Kentucky and want to try to trace the family tree and go to the Cemetery where her grandfather is buried.

I have read that my ?great grandfather went to Kentucky with Daniel Boone. The other night I found a photo of the monument at Fort Boonesborough and was able to zoom in on his name, Jonas Sparks. It is my understanding that he returned home to what is now Davie county North Carolina where I was raised and still live.

[@KentuckyHistoryChannel]

That’s a great connection!

[@liennitram9291]

I really enjoy this channel man. As a native of Muhlenberg Co whose family has been in Kentucky since before statehood......and VA before the Burgesses. I am absolutely fascinated with all of the information who have shared so generously. Thank you so much.

[@KentuckyHistoryChannel]

Thank you so much for the support! Glad you’re enjoying the channel! There’s more to come.

[@liennitram9291]

@@KentuckyHistoryChannel Fantastic. Can't wait.

[@SteveCanoy]

I have been to the graves of Squire and Sarah Boone near Mocksville North Carolina. It’s less than of a mile off I-40 on US 601. Easy access for any interested

I am from Barbourville home of the first house in Kentucky made by Thomas walker in 1750. Here is his last entry into his journal for a 5-month exploration into Kentucky. [July] 13th [1750] 13th. I got Home about Noon. We kill'd in the Journey 13 Buffaloes, 8 Elks, 53 Bears, 20 Deer, 4 Wild Geese, about 150 Turkeys, beside Small Game. We might have kill'd three times as much meat, if we had wanted it.

[@KentuckyHistoryChannel]

Barbourville has some great history! Thank you for sharing!

[@jasond1433]

I believe you were referring to the Long Run Massacre.

[@davidosborne423]

Walked that trail in the boy scouts...Chenoweth massacre....to long run park and long run church...walked it 7 times ...loved the history of the trail...

[@thomasfowler8387]

Daniel and Rebecca did not want to be a part of Kentucky anymore for what they had put up with from all the people and they wanted to be in Missouri

That guy on the right he don't know nothing about what is about anything

[@thomasfowler8387]

I don't believe anything you people say because I don't think you know what you're even talking about

[@alan30189]

Good stuff, but try to be more fluid in your interview questions. Write them down if needed. The herky-jerkiness and repetition is annoying and hurts the interview. You said, “that was his first trip,” three times, for crying out loud!

[@thomasellison2635]

Lost me early on.

[@thomasfowler8387]

You guys don't know what you're even talking about go back and read your history book and then you may find out the truth
