Minerva Jane Trammell who married Noah Webster Boone will
be difficult to tie into your Georgia Trammell family,. Wright
B. Frost in his "The Frosts and Related Families of Bedford
County, Tennessee" states as follows:
Noah Webster Boone ninth child of the Reverend
Benjamin and Mary Wilson] Boone was born in
Rowan County, North Carolina, August 30, 1807.
He died at Rolla, Missouri, July 7, 1860 while
on the way to St. Louis to buy goods for his
mercantile store near Stella, Missouri, On Sep-
tember 17, 1835 he married in Washington County,
Arkansas, Minerva Jane Trammell, who was born in
Boone County, Missouri May 24, 1819 and died in
McDonald County, Missouri August 1, 1870.
Although Minerva Jane Trammell might have been related to
William, Wade Dorsey and Verna Trammell, there is no positive
link established between the Georgia branch of the Trammells
and 'Uhe across -the -Mississippi Trammells.
Burke County is many miles away from the Yadkin River,
valley where Squire Boone settled with his sons, daughters
and nephew. I have no explanation for Boone Trammell's first
name, and there is nothing that could connect him to the Yadkin
River valley Boones.
I enclose a xerox copy of my chart on the children of Ben-
jamin Boone and Mary [Wilson] Boone. My recent study has been
directed toward a determination of the birthsites of members of
the various Boone fmnilies in Davie (formerly Rowan) County,
North Carolina. Note: I locate the birthsite of Noah Webster
Boone not in Rowan County, but in Iredell County, North Carolina.
So, for you, it is back to South Carolina Trammells.

Dear Mr. Boone;
In Colonial Wars in S.C. by Andrea, I found where Minerva Jane
Trammell married o ebster Boone, with your name to write for
information. Since our Trammell line leads back to S.C. I was
most interested in Minerva Jane and her family.
The only Minerva Trammell I fine in my file is the daughter of
Jesse (ca. 1763-10 Jan. 1867, Greenville Dist. S.C.) and Sarah
(Forrester) Trammell. Her grandfather was Daniel (1709-1?7?) and
wife #2 Elizabeth (Scott) Trammell. Wondered if this could be your
Minerva?
Enclosed is a copy of my family chart. If any part of this rings
a bell I will be happy to send the family sheet on any of them.
As you can see, I have reached an impasse with my William Trammell.
He is my missing link. If I can only prove which, William he was
I will be off and running again.
Would greatly appreciate any information you might be willing to
share and happy to exchange what I have on our Trammells.
Sincerely,
J
