My 5th great grandfather traveled to Kentucky with Daniel Boone, his name was Joshua Penix and his name is on the marker at Fort Boonesborough. He was given a land grant in the Kentucky Territory as reward but sold it and moved back to Scott County Virginia and built his home on Copper Creek. What is really strange is I found a land deed on file where his land joined two of my other ancestral grandfathers. So basically in the 1790's two of my 5th great grandfathers and one of my 4th great grandfathers were all neighbors.

"One day in May, 1774, the famous trailblazer, slopped away from his family and friends and struck out alone along the Warriors Path. At dusk two days later, he stood beside the wilderness grave of his son. It is said that he found James’ grave had been dug into by the wild beasts of the forest; and that to satisfy himself, that the body had not been molested, he opened the grave and looked upon the body, the first time he had seen it since the lad had been killed; then he carefully tenderly filled in the grave, mounted his horse and rode away silently into the night." - The Death of James Boone & Henry Russell Middlesboro Times News Wednesday, February 21, 1951 Page 3

One fact you might take into account is the Cherokee and Shawnee had a signed agreement with the Crown that settlers would not cross over the Blue Ridge Mountains. They got this by fighting the French in the French and Indian War. The Powell Valley was used for they're hunting parties. They would tolerate small parties of Longhunters, sometimes they would have to share hides with or they would take everything including guns and horses. James Boone had a small herd of cattle,extra supplies and pack animals, so there was no hiding what they were doing. A Frenchman had came upriver from Kingsport and killed hundreds of buffalo for the hides and left the meat to rot. They were still upset about this. Not to make excuses or take sides, just stating facts. The Native Americans always paid a heavy price for any victories. The Lakota are still paying for the Battle of the Little Big Horn.

A couple of thoughts: first, the two individuals who were killed had the last name of Mendenhall , not Mendenthall (no "T"). This is a prominent historical Quaker family who has been in the US since shortly after the Mayflower. Presidents and other prominent historical figures are related to this family, so it's worth getting right. Second, along with the location of this incident, there are other facts in dispute. Most notably, whether or not the Mendenhalls mentioned were brothers, or actually cousins. I am a Mendenhall and these men were my ancestors. Even one of the names appears to be incorrect on that marker. I know these things sound trivial, but this is exactly how history gets distorted and facts changed. The Mendenhalls were good friends of Daniel Boone and assisted in many of his endeavors. Most of them lived in SE Ohio and helped in exploring and founding that region.

Good video, it sparked my interest immediately as I carry generations of Shawnee, 3 Cherokees & generations of western European in my veins so I gravitate to any actions involving them in the settling of our country. To show how a piece of history can be confusing at times I'd never heard of a Cherokee named Big Jim who obviously lived back then and is said to have killed James Boone according to 3 articles I looked up because of the video. I knew of a Shawnee named Big Jim that led a Shawnee Band for settlement decades later yet a witness said a Shawnee named Big Jim committed the murder. The marker said Delaware, Shawnee & Cherokee killed them. It's still fascinating to learn history from the actual locations. I live in TN not far from there & appreciate having another road trip to take in our historical jaunts anyway.

My family is a mix of folks that came up the Cumberland Gap with Boone and settled in Harlan County, Kentucky and the other side are a part of the Cherokee that escaped the Trail of Tears and hid in the mountains of South Eastern Kentucky. We are enrolled members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee. Our cabins still stand being built in 1780 mamaw and papaw live in it so we were surrounded by history, and talked about still fairly often in our family. The Border Wars were a tough time, the Shawnee and Cherokee were trying to keep our homelands safe and keep intruders out, so to keep the fear not to come into our homelands we did things that would spread the fear, and the Scotts Irish settlers did the same in turn. I wonder what my ancestors on both sides felt during this time. The fear of constantly being attacked, the fear of loosing their homes, the entire thing on both sides had to be a scary time

My 5th great grandfather, Mathias Brandenburg and his wife lived at the fort. After the murders, Issac buried a hatchet in a young native boy’s brains at a horse race. Isaac never faced charges on this incident. His sister, Hannah Crabtree married Edward Smyth, both were my ancestors. Mathias came from the Royal Brandenburg-Hohenzollern family. My grandmother came from the Caudill Royal Family of Scotland. The descendants of many Royal and noble families moved to Ky during, after the American Revolution.

Thanks for the video. I am a direct descendant of James Poteet and Elizibeth Crabbtree. Making my grandfather Thomas first cousin to Issac Crabtree. It is my belief that James Boone and William Russell were sewn up in the same quilt and buried on a hillside above Blue Spring. Issac and his brother were shot in the back by arrows and outran the Shawnee. His brothers body was never found. I think Daniel was waiting for them where Wallen Creek meets the Powell River. There is a crossing there with a huge rock on the other side. It was a known camp for the Longhunters. William Crabtree camped there with Wallen on his first hunt in the valley. Issac's brother Job was one of thirty that went through the gap with Boone. Job is buried in the Allison Gap Cemetery and his mother at Saltville. The Crabbtree brothers were with the Overmountain Men at Kings Mountain. James was a captain.

The church they got married in is no longer there. It was not far from the Gunpowder Meeting House which is still there on the base at Joppatowne. The church moved to Kingsville and is the St. Johns Episcopal Church. They married in 1740, moved with brother William Crabtree to Burnt Chimney Bedford Co. Va. in 1750. The property is 1 mile east of the Booker T Washington National Park. The driveway says Crabtree Lane. There is a cemetery there next to the highway. Don't know if they are buried there. There is a Poteet Cemetery north of Burnt Chimney at 721 st. route 688 also called Peters Pike Road. This is the property where our Uncle William Poteet lived. William Crabtree lived on Maggadee Creek before moving to Saltville. My grandfather Thomas moved to Pennington Gap about the same time. That was where my grandmothers family was. They're daughter Olivia married Thomas Blakemore of the Ft. Blackmore family and they bought that property when Thomas Poteet moved to Livingston Tn. In 1800. I have been to Thomas' grave at the Poteet Cemetery in a hayfield under a huge Oak tree at spring creek Rickman Tn.

It was downplayed even at the time because the early settlement of Kentucky was in large part a form of land speculation. In short the early settlers including Daniel Boone hoped to sell the land they were granted for forming the first settlements to those eager to replace their overused land in the east with land that was fertile from unused potential. Thus the risk posed by native populations trying to stop the encroachment upon their territories was underplayed. At the same time the editors of eastern papers were occupied by the events and politics leading up to the American Revolution

My grandpa and his mama were attacked by the infamous NIGHT RIDERS in the early 1900's. My great grandma Alice L. Bauguss and her son Thomas R. Pride got even years later and killed many of them. She apparently became involved keeping records and roll call book and they "asked" her to join. Apparently she did. (The oral history handed down did not include THAT) Somewhere along the line, she turned state evidence against them and disappeared. Grandpa took out 4 of them himself. They used saved up moonshine money to hire a sharpshooter to kill some too. This all took place from sometime early ?30's. She disappeared from our family history other than that oral part handed down. Revenge or getting even can be sweet; but it seems like a lot of people died by one(or 2) persons wish. Sad.

I'm a direct descendant of Squire Boone, Daniel Boone's brother. Thank you for the history. Didn't know this story. It seems Daneil and Squire did some running and hiding in caves to escape the Native Americans. Squire is buried in such a cave of escape.

Daniel Boone's grandson, Alonso, came to Oregon and settled. Many things named after him. He is buried in Jacksonville, Oregon Cemetery.

The Boone habit of naming their progeny after each other has created confusion among genealogists! I am a descendent of Daniel's grandson Alonzo H Boone who was born, raised, and lived his entire life in the Westport area of Kansas City. The first time my grandfather applied to join the Family Association his application was denied because the Alonzo Boone they had in their files had died young without having children. A distant cousin helped him get the documentation he needed to prove his great grandfather's existence and lineage.

@@kathrynmolesa1641 sounds like a third one to me. I vaguely remember seeing at least 3 Alonzo Boones on the copy of the family tree my grandfather would spread out as he retold family stories. It was natural for him to steer our focus to his great grandfather. Thus i do not recall hearing the stories of the other Alonzos.
