I George Loone, born in England II George Boone, born near Exeter in Devonshire, England. He was a blacksmith, married.Sarah U ppey. III George Boone, born 1666 at Stoak, England, in Devonshire, died 27 July (old time) or Aug. 7, 1744 in Exeter Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. Married Mary Maugridge, daughter of John and Mary Milton Maugridge. Belonged to Society of Friends. On 17 Aug. 1717 with six children the Boones set sail for America. Three older child- ren, George,_Squire, and Sarah had been sent to America in 1713 or before as record shows the marriage of George, Jr. in 1713. George Boone was a weaver. The Boones were a people more rough-hewn tharx.fashionable, more pract- ical than artistic, more constructive than idealistic; retaining the strong, forceful characteristics of its early ancestry, yet progressing with the times in matters of development and education. Not the sword and -gilded snuff-box, but rather the musket and woods- man's axe were the symbols of this rugged family of pioneers. Not the perfume of courtly ball rooms and assemblies, but rather the breath of the forest and tang of the log fire were the atmosphere in which it labored and rejoiced. ..hen George III died it was recorded in the ! anily Bible that "~'When GrandfCather died he left 8 children, 52 grandchildren, and 10 great grand- children living,. -in all 70, being as many persons as the House of j acob which came into Egypt". Squire Boone, son of George III, married Sarah Morgan "�3d day of ye 7th month of the year of our .Lord 1720". Squire Boone i -;as a strong, ti:irS man of rather small stature, with ruddy complection, red hair and gray eyes. Sarah had 'slack hair and eyes, with "the sudden 1 elch snap in them". Children of Squire and Sarah, the first tr=ee or four bore in rew �� 1tG�ri township, ucks .oun•ty, , Pa., the reit it -E.:eter to ;ns i;. , - arks County, 'Pa. r X10 ;. T 1. Sarah Boone b, 7 Jure 1724 Old Style or 18 June New Style. 2. Israel Boone b. 9 May or 20 May 1726.

C. From an old V. C. book coves also this statement, which locates one James Carter in the vicinity of the Boones -- "James Carter and Hugh Foster owned land upon which Salisbury, N. C. was built about 1754. This is the only thing to indicate that the Jonathan. Boone whose wife :;as Mary Carter, belonged to this family. There were other Jonathan Boones in N.C. in that period. There is also a tradition that Jonathan 3oone married an Elizabeth Da€ley, but no documentary proof of it has been found. It might have been a second marriage." -• E :d of quote.

Jonathan Boone and Thomas Dagley lived neighbors in Rowan County,N. C. Jonathan was married to Thomas' sister, Elizabeth, and Jonathan's son, Joseph was married to Sarah (Sally) Dagley, the -daughter of Thomas. We do not know when or where Mary Carter Boone died. She was the mother of all the Jonathan Boone children. If Elizabeth had children there is no record of them. Thomas Dagley was a native of Ireland. His mother was a native of Scotland. Of Scotch -Irish descent, the Dagleys, like all their race, have energy, strong common sense and practical worth. Thomas Dagley was baggage - master for Gen. Washington in the Revolutionary War. During the march of the British there were guards placed over his wife's house to protect it -from the ravages of the troops. He moved to New Haven in 1812 with his wife and five children ........ New Haven was then called Boone' s Fort. The above paragraph from history of White County, Illinois, 1883. From the History of the Thomas Dagley Family, by Murial questell Osler: "ti"ith the help of Daughters of the American Revolution, Thomas Dagley's name was added to the list of soldiers of the Revolutionary leas in Washington, D.C., in the summer of 1964. He was a patriot from Rowan County, N. C., and furnished supplies....... . Mrs. Osler gives records of deeds for land in Rowan County, sold by Thomas Dagley. one in 1772, and one in 1795. It was about that time that the Dagleys moved to Kentucky. There are records of land deals by Jonathan 'Boone, Joseph and Sally Boone in 1779. This was in Barren Cou. ty, Ky. The Second Census of Kentucky, 1800 Taxpayers Census by G. Glenn Clift lists Jonathan Boone and Thomas Dagley in Barren County. Also listed are Joseph Boone and Zachariah Allen, in Barren County. Mrs. Osler says that Thomas paid taxes on 200 acres each year until 1,13, ►►,hen he raid on only 100 acres, then in 1812} no Dagley listed, which ties in with the in_ormation that has been ha::ded do:.n from generation to generation that amuel Dagley we. -.t back to Kentucky and wrou-ht his father and sister: to Boone' s Fort in i Iiiir.oi::.

Joseph Boon, S E v of 17, 7 South, i 10 East. Aug. 24, 1814. From Gallatin County History: New Haven is situated in the northeast corner of the county, on the Little 'Habash River. It claims to be the third oldest town in Illinois, and assuming that the town was started when Jonathan Boone (not Joseph Doone as is published in the history of White County) first settled there, the claim is doubtless correct. Jonathan Boone was a brother of Daniel Boone, the famous'first settler of Kentucky. Jonathan Boone made an entry of land under date of August 24, 1814, as follows: Southeast quarter of Section 17, Township 7 South, Range 10 East of the third principal meridiaa A stockade was erected on the bank of the little Wabash, enclosing consider- able land, and the enclosure, with its protections, was called Boone's Fort. He also built a mill not now in existence, but always referred to as Boone's Mill. The steam mill now in New Haven, :mentioned hereafter, stands within the limits of the ancient stockade. An interesting landmark stands close to :r.G south end of this steam mill, in the shape of a stout and an umbrageous catalpa tree, the result of the growth of a riding whip, carelessly stuck in the ground by one of Jonathan Boone's daughters, upon her return from a pleasure ride on horseback. Jonathan Boone came to this country in 1812, for in that year Samuel Dagley, Sr., moved to Yew Haven with his family of f fteen?crildren, being attracted there by family relationship, one of his sisters being the wife of Jonathan Boone. fir. Boone remained in Hew Haven but a few years, possibly because he could not tolerate the refinements of advancing civilation, and so moved again into the wilderness -- this time into the wilds of Arkansas, where he died at an a:dvarced age. End of quote. in a bio€raphical sketch of Samuel Dagley, Or., on pace 830 of ;:bite County History it states that he was born on Peter's Creek, Barren County,K y., Oct. 2, 1797, and was the son of Thomas Dagley, a native of Ireland........

To them were born ten children---- these are named, but our interest does not carry into that veneration. Before we get too far, we should go back and correct mistakes, so we will take up the story that Enoch Boone told the person who interviewed him for Dr. Lyman C: Draper. Enoch said -that his Uncle Jonathan had operated his father, Squire Boone's mill in Kentucky before he went to Illinois. Then he tells that Jonathan settled at the Big Falls of the Wabash, near Mt. Carmel in Wabash County, not more than 15 miles, if that, from the mouth of the Wabash where he built a mill. The mouth of the Little V abash is about 50 miles from Mt. Carmel. Enoch probably didn't know there were two rivers, the Big Wabash and the Little Wabash, and he may have.confiised the names of the towns, Mt. Carmel and Carmi. The mouth of the Little Wabash is about 15 miles from the spot Jonathan chose to build a fort and a mill. The Little Wabash originates near Mattoon, Illinois and flows south to where it enters the Big Wabash about 15 miles from Boone's Fort. Carmi is situated another 15 miles upstream from the site of the old fort*- About 20 miles "as the crow flies"from the mouth of the Little Wabash, The Big Wabash flows intothe Ohio. Besides this proof , there is abundant evidence that the Boones, Jonathan and his son, Joseph , came to this spot on the bank of the Little Wabash. It has been argued that Jonathan was too old to build a mill in 1811-12. Since he was born in 1730, he would have been about 81 or 92, and as all the Boones were hardy, outdoor people, he was probably quite vigorous at that a€e. My guess would be that he planned and supervised the building of the mill, as he was a miller, according to Enoch's statement. In no place can we find that Joseph operated the mill, but there is proof in 81:1ite County records that he operated a ferry. v immie Chastain, a young man who s-. ant most of his life in a wheel- chair, and his tutor, Mrs. Knight 0. Holland, Loth of whom lived in New Haven coauthored a history of- the tov:n`. Here is a Quote: ":New Haven proudly claims to be the third olde-t town in Illinois, and assuming that the town was start- ed when Joe Boone settled here this claim is correct.

"For more than a hundred years one of the landmarks of New Haven was a large and beautiful catalpa tree which stood on the bank of the river near the south end of Boone's mill. This tree is said to have grown from a riding whip carelessly stuck into the ground by one of Boone's daughters on her return from a horseback ride. Many of the people who live in New Haven now, in 1943, can remember when this tree was struck by lightning and pract- ically destroyed. Seeing an opporunity to preserve the wood in the form of keepsakes for posterity, Seymore Hughes made and sold walking canes from the wreck of this old tree. It is said he made quite a lot of money and many of the canes are in homes herb." A Dagley descendant, Gerald C. Smith and I have corresponded for several years, he lives in Homelake, Colorado now, but when he was a boy his home was in Illinois. His father, the Rev. Samuel S. Smith was the min- ister of Big Prairie Methodist Church, which is one half mile from my home. When the Rev. Smith was transferred to Equality, the family.and furniture went by rail, and I Kant to use Gerald's own words to tell you how the three oldest boys went, and some of their adventures. "An overland caravan living off the country consisted of older brother Joyce, younger brother Harold and me with cows, chickens, horses and dogs arrived at our new home just as the last piece of furniture moved into the parsonage. Our overnight stay in historic old 1 ew Haven at Aunt Mollie Mitchell's had been as gay as usual and she hovered over us as we filled up on fried chicken and hone-made ice cream. At daybreak on our second day we had an escort to the Jonathan Boone cabin which we knew well, but our great great uncle, Henry Da€ley, was certain he had never shov:n us where he hid from Indians, with a Boone cousin when he was six years old. That would have been in 1839. His Aunt Sara was married to Joseph Boone, the o� son o: Jonathan, who was an older f Daniel." End of quote. Gerald carries the story a little farther in this letter: "I was nine years old at the time and my greatest thrill was hearing, from Uncle Henry Dacley, tales of Indians that were around when he was a boy. He was fairly old, but as I recall quite vigorous.is most exciting story, for me, was about the time a lady ancestor cane close to shooting Gariel Boone who had core unannounced, ..--for a visit to the cabin of his brother, Jonathan and had stopped just as usual, for a drink at a sprint.

In 1811 Jonathan was age 81, and he resumed his trade as a miller after the stockade was builton the banks .of the ..'abash River and the structure 1 was named Boone' s Fort." Gerald is sure that the Boones- and' Dagleys did not travel overland, but used the river for transportation. He says that flatboats had to travel down the Ohio River in groups in the center of the river during the War of 1812 period as the British had supplied the Indians with muskets. Parts for the mill woLld be difficult to transport by wagon or cart. One of the buhr stones from the Boone mill is in five pieces, each weighing about 100 lbs. They fit together so perfectly one is reminded of the fitting of the stones in the,Great Pyramid. There had to be another mill stone, the location of which is unknown, also heavy weights for the mill wheel. I know where two of these weights are, and the five piece buhr is in my front yard, cemented to a base so that it forms a seat. This buhr it flint, which was im- ported from France, and is grCwed for corn meal. " River travel was much easier than going through the trackless forest. Rivers were much wider and deeper then than'r_ow. My Pomeroy ancestors cane from Shawneetownup the Ohio, into the Big Wabash, then into the Little J Wabash, past Boone's Fort, and about ten miles fatther, all this in flatboats in 1814. They bought land, which is still owned by their descendants. 1'+e will follow the Boones later on, as they continue to travel the rivers and make their homes along the barks. Back to Gerald as he tells: I'My father died in 1931, and following his burial in Big Prairie Cemetery, Cousin Kate took us (Gerald and wife, Floye) to New Haven to see our various relatives and we spent an hour at the old Jonathan Boone cabin. I went down to the old spring and Floye stood in the door-way in the same spot that my Aunt Elizabeth had stood some century and a ouarter earlier." :r- Sara Dagley Boone's young brother, Samuel, was born in Barren County, Ky. in 1797. There is a family tradition that on Samuel's twenty- first birthday he slept with Daniel Boone, who was visiting at Boone' s Fort, that woLld be i : 1818. That may be the time j onat'ran and family derarted for the "wilds of Arkansas", and Daniel tr•avellirg with them to show than the way.

Along with the Boones and Dagleys when they came to Illinois were tIwo young men named Young and John Funkhouser. According to J. Andrew Smith, a great grandson of Young and Nary (Cross) Funkhousmz*, the Funkhouser boys continued up the Little Wabash to Carmi where they built one of the first log houses on Main Street. John remained in ar_d around Carmi, while Young obtained a tract of land about three miles south of Liberty. Liberty or Burnt Prairie as it is now called is about twenty miles north of Carmi, but still in White County. h otice that the Funkhousers were travelling by boat. The reason for my research of the Boone families is that there is a slight possibility that one of Jonathan's undiscovered daughters could be my great -great reat grandmother, Shaba Boone Johnston. Mary Cross F'unkhouser, mentioned above was a granddaughter of Shaba Boone Johnston. My Shaba Boone doesn't* fit into any Boone family I can find, and I've had some excellent searchers helping me. I;ow that is told we'll get back to the Boones at Boone' s Fort and go on with our corrections. How is one to correct a thing that is definitely wrong, but the right solution evades us? Mrs. Chalon Land, a local historian, now deceased, and I worked on this and she pronounced it a "tangled skein". There are just too many Samuel Dagleys, every family had one, as Mrs. J. H. Buchanaaid about the Eoones, every family had a Daniel. There is no Samuel Da.gley that we know of who came to ?oone's Fort in 1812 with his family of 15 children, as stated the Gallatin County History. Thomas Dawley came about 1812, with his 5 children, four married daughters, and young Samuel, born in 1797, would have been 15 years of ave then.

Mrs. Osler tells that her great great grandfather, James Hanmore and his brother, Thomas, operated the grist mall. Joseph Boone operated a 1 ferry, applying for a license August 12, 1816. His charges for ferriage were: Ilan and horse 18 3/4 ¢, single horse 12-j¢, hogs and sheep 3¢, Wagon & team 50¢, two wheel carriage 2609 meat cattle over,one year old 1210, and footman 6V¢. In his.book, "Gallatin County, Illinois Cemgteries", Mr. Glen Miner, includes a most interesting history. Here is a quotation: "The Shawnee- town to Vincennes mail route had been started in 1806, going by what a few years later became Boone' s Hull or Boone' s Fort, but permanently named New Haven by one of its first merchants, one of whose acdount books, from 1816 to 1821 is still in existence.- We had heard of this ledger and read a news story about it, so my friend, Harriet B. Vaught and I borrowed it from the owners, ter. and Mrs. Andrew Bosaw. Mrs. Bosaw was Mary Elizabeth Dagley, called May by family and ,friends. N.ay had been so generous in loaning this book, and the pages being loose, some of them were lost, and we could find:.no mention of Joseph Boone, although others had found his name. Looking through this ledger was a delight, the many names of pioneer families and the articles they bought and the prices they paid! A book could be written about it. I was delighted to find the z1arre of my maternal great great grandfather, George R. Logan. Under date of 1E19 he bought window glass, nails, and needles. Probably he had just arrived from Cumberland County, Ky., and was building a cabin. This ledger was kept by Robinson & Porth, and on the last pare this: This day dissolved partnership with D. Forth, and all charges here after charged will be under the amme of tim. P. P.obinson. New haven May 11th 1821. Mr. Roswell H. Grant, a Yankee from New Haven, Conn., arrived at Boone' s Fort about 1818. He helped to survey the town, lay out the lots and streets, and it was he who changed the name to New Haven for his native town. It was in 1818 that Joseph and Sally Boone were selling their land, there are deeds recorded in both White,a d Gallatin Counties. One deed showed the price $8600, and another $2000. There were other sales, so we know they left with enough money to start, or buy a town, as Enoch Boone said they did, but no one in later days had any idea where this town was. The first deaths at Bo::ne' s Port WEre said to be two children of % ose.h Boone. T- a bicrraprical sketch of the Smith fa :ily 0- hi*e Co. .:i:.tory) it states: ::eery S.

This letter was hand cancelled for 250. It could have contained the names of some of his children. Mrs. Edwards did not have that letter, but she showed*te other letters and papers. She. handed me.a letter to read, and the heading was Illechical, Arkansas, Mayl2, 1828. It was from Samuel Jr. to his father in the New Haven area. He told a sad story of how the riverbank where several cabins had been built, was .caving in so fast that some of the cabins had already fallen into the river, which was, of course, the Mississippi. He said he was moving his cabin-far- ther back as he did not want to lose it. He must have been discouraged and homesick as he wrote of longing to see his folks, and if not in this world, in the world to come. Now the name Illechical hit me like a flash--- that place Enoch Boone said Joseph Rent when he left Illinois-- Elesheco. I believe Samuel Dagley,Jr. knew how to spell it right, but Enoch never saw it in print and said it the way it sounded, and the person taking notes for Dr. Lyman Draper didn't know the correct spelling either. I could hardly wait to pyrite to Gerald about it. Before we go on with that story let's mention as many of Joseph's children as possible. Mrs. Edwards told me there was a Nancy Boone, who was either-a sister or daughter of Joseph, and she was said to have married one of the Samuel Dagleys. In White County marriages is this April 22, 1823 James A tterberry and Jane Boone. In Gallatin County marriages is this: Feb. 1, 1814 John Bone and Patsey Overstreet, both of union County, Ky. Remember Enoch saying that John stayed in Kentucky? And remember how clerks spelled names, Bone might be Boone. As to the exact time Joseph and Sally left here we do not know, but the last entry in White County records is a deed given by the Boones to Williail McHenry, dated Jan. 3, 1820. When Gera3:d Smith read ray letter and the connection I made between Elesheco and Illechical, he i,.-rote to the State Historical Society in Arkansas, and Glory .Be: :-pit the ;pack-pot: Hare carve a bundle of nhotoco--ies of instru- ments that proved t" oseph a- d Sally, and their son, Jonathan Boone had done . to Cricot County, Ark. i et your b:.ok of macs and find it1n the southeast cor- ner o-'* the stave, ::ltt: `.1E as its ea_T.e Y':_ ti'v^L'n dary. met j'^vi.r aye iGllow the : ivcr :SQL ins t%.'is,;%-. s a= d 'Lrns -:.d areas t at have , a:.d 111 do • ,valor.- t.o f_� V _.

Is it any wonder that Enoch said Elesheco was in l ':ississippi state, on the Big Cypress Bend? Illechscal may be in the middle of the river by now, or possibly is a Fart of Mississippi state.

Sarah Boone signs and it is witnessed by I% B. Patton. This brings us to Daniel, the son of Jonathan Boone. In a letter from Mrs. J. H. Buchanan, late historian_ of the Boone Family Association of Washington, she sent this thumb-nail sketch, all of which is authenticated. "We have a stat of the will of James Carter, father of Mary, wife of Jonathan Boone, in which James names her as such and bequeathes her 'Bristol Hall' among other properties. So we know Jonathan was married and to whom, but we have no date of marriage or of Daniel's birth except he gives his age when married in Louisiana. In February 1800, he is in New Orleans, requesting permission to go to A ttakapas, Li. He is there by March and in July marries Marie Rose Benoit in St. Martinsville, (Attakapas). Rose Marie (sic) must have died as in November 1801, as a uidov.er, he marries Anne nouduaux in Opelousas, La. In 1800, as a witness in a civil suit, he €ave his age as 27 and his religion as A nglean. (tet he married tz o Catholic girls:). In June 1L04 his son, Daniel, born in lE03, is ba:tised in the Catholic religion i r. �t . ,'•'ar Lir_s�►ilwe . E �;�- I-;$u14C Ubrary -- DaV1a s i�ie, NC ��_ bock f. a � t I -n June 1806, Daniel, his family and posseEsions are at Bexar, Texas, requesting land on which to settle. (He had become quite hostile to i the L. S. because of land troubles, for he was as careless about filing, etc, as his noted uncle, Daniel: So he went to Texas, then a Republic.) In March 1809, he presented a bill for blacksmith work, then in San Antonio.. In June 182-7, Anne Boudreaux is named widow of Daniel Boone so he must have been killed by Indians about that date. This is a brief summary of many documents. In one it says he is the son of Jonathan Boone. This will give you an idea that he lived a stormy life, and died a tragic death. He was first married 12, Aug.: 1800 and gave his a€e as 26, he also gave his mother's name as Mary Carter". Mrs. Drouet W. Vidrine of Ville Place, La., is a descendant of Daniel Boone, and much of the above information is her work. Now for Jonathan's son, John Boone, about which nothing of positive proof has ever been found. In correspondence with Mr. Arthur J Boone, of Cambridge Springs, Pa., he sends his line of descent from John Boone. He --says. that Mrs. J. H. Buchanan said this John was probably the son of Jonathan. Two pages in Boone Pioneer Echoes, Jan. 1969 are given to this family. We will copy part of it. John Boone, born within.eigst miles of York, York County, Penngyl- varia, about 1755; and died July 17, 1835. he married Elizabeth Alford, 1787 in Augusta County, Virginia and she died Feb. 15, 1841. (Arthur Boone corrects Augusta County to Rockingham, the date to 1785). Their children: John Boone abed 57 in 1847 Nancy �oone 'Burdett 37 in 1847 Henry Boone b.

The name of J ohr_' s father is not known. In the faMnilies of Daniel's brothers is found no J onn Boone that could be John Boone of Fayette Co., Y;-*. Va. tihen.

The add- ress will be given at thi conciusicn. Two pages, '264 and 265, from William and Mary Quarterly, submitted by Mrs. H. Virginia Cahill, no date shown, are about a Skaggs, and a Smith family. It states that Miss Rhoda Boone Smith, born Jan. 3, 1793, lived and died in Warren County, Ky., She married Abraham 14oredock Skaggs, Oct. 15, 1E15. The Smith Parents of this Rhoda are unknown by their first names, although the names of their seven children are given and all daughters have,Loone as a middle name. Therf'it states, "It is understood that ----Smith's wife was either a daughter or granddaughter of Jonathan ?oone (born 1730) brother of the famous Daniel Boone. Her father was commonly called Esq. John Boone in Ky. or by the old relatives" .- From The Boone Scout of Jan. 1966 comes this: A recent clipping from the 7.'ashington Post, tells of the first lecture of the seasonof the Library- of Congress Gertrude Clark V,hit-kall Poetry and Literature Fund.

What a refreshing attitude and direct explanation: No wonder the large audience waa charmed with her. We are indebted to Mr. J. B. Childs of Wash- ington D. C. for this bit of Boone information. More information, with reference sources may be found in Boone Pioneer Echoes, July 1973, on Daniel, son of Jonathan, called ANCLO- AMERICAiiO. Another daughter of Joseph and Sally may be Esther Boone who married Richard Sessions and moved to Z°ilkinson County, Miss. Also a Mrs. Thurman Boone of Columbia, Miss. says Joseph Boone was given land grant in `fast Feleciana Parish, La. This parish and Wilkinson County, Miss. are divided .by the State line, and both lie along the river. Yhere ever one finds these Boones, they are near a river, which we are certain they used for transportation and an aid to their livlihood. +;'ho knows, Joseph could have died in Mississippi as Enoch said. He could have been looking after his land or visiting his dau- ghter, or both. Or there is a possibility hat this Joseph is not the one we are interested in, the husband OltSally Dagley. Mr. Arthur Boone sent the following,,.from the Boone Family Associa- tion of Missouri: Jonathan Boone had tw*o daughters, Abagail; and Dinah, who married Zachariah Allen, their children: Jonathan, Lewis, Polly Thornton, Sally Garrison. I have been a member of this association since 1964, and I i haven't found this in any of the Boone Pioneer Echoes. On July 11, 1971 A. BOOItiE MILL MEMORIAL PLAQUE was dedicated in the village of New haver.. It was erected by Gallatin County Historical Society and the Illinois State Historical Society. This is the story the plaque tells: JONATHAN BOOhT, AN OLDER BROTHER OF THE FAMOUS PATHFINDER DA&hIEL BCOi:E, BUILT A MILL ON THIS SITE ABOUT 1800. HE WAS BORN IN PEENSYLVANIA IN 1730 AICD DIED ABOUT 1808. HI Gh , JOSEPH COI:TI UED TO OPERATE THE MILL.

The remaining sentences There from the statements of Enoch Boone, found in the Draper Manuscripts. We know that some of Enoch's statements are incorrect, in fact Mr. Birk said some of it was hearsay. Now we know that Joseph's death did occur at about the time Enoch stated, !'subsequent to 1827". Mr. Birk also related that when Ithite and Gallatin Counties were divided back in the. early 1EOOs, the Boone rill was used in tie legal description as the dividingline between the two counties. The finding of this description according to Biek, verifies the fact that the mill actually F' existed. The History of White County, on page 297: The south line of the county was once described in law as "beginning in the eye of the millstone in Boone' s mill" at New Haver' From the History of Gallatin Cou. ty: ''Although White County was organized in 1815, the boundary lire between it and Gallatin County was not settled for many years. At the Decembe-r term (1830) off'the county commiss- ioners court of Gallatin County, the surveyors of Gallatin, I:hite and Hamilton Counties were required to meet on the 16th of August 1831, to run and establish a line between said counties. They met according to this requirement, but .ti could not determine the piece of ground u=pon which 3oone's mill had stood, as the mill had been removed. ---- The survey was completed August 23, 1831. The present day boundary was not settled permanently until February 28, 1854." Iiow we see the wisdom of the Boones entering the same piece of land at both land offices, the one at Carni, and the one at Shawnee town. (Tars.) Gladys P. %'illiams .t. 1 Box 234 Carmi, Ill. 62E21 Qdic .�.r ,�a!'lij fub U 3 NC 1 Qr - 0 4 Now for arpother chapter in the story: Enoch Boone said Jonathan had several daughters that married and lived } along Green River in Kentucky. We know of one, Dinah, who married Zachariah Allen. The dates seemed right that my great -great -great grandmother, Bathsheba Boone Johnston could be one of Jonathan's daughters, but no proof could be f ound . Lathan andShaby Johnston's daughter, Hettie, was the wife of Zachariah Cross, and their daughter, Mary1married Young Funkhouser. Young and John Funkhouser came to Illinois with the Boone-Dagley party, but instead of stay - at Boone's Fort, they proceeded up the Little Wabash in their boat. John stayed at the tiny village`of Carmi, and Young went about twenty miles farther to the Burnt Prarie area. We know that Zachariah and Hettie Cross came to White County about 1830. He was a Revolutionary soldier, and is buried in Burnt Prairie Cemetery. They were parents of ten children, after Mr. Cross's death , Hettie and a daughter named Bathsheba went back to her native Logan County, Ky. home to live. Many Cross descendants live here, six are members of Wabash Chapter ,Daughters of American Revolution. Hettie Johnston. Cross's brother, John Johnston, had three daughters living in White County, Mary, wife of Dr. Henry Stewart; Elizabeth, wife of James Stewart, later of Geor§tPatrick; and Nancy, wife of'James Patrick, the latter being my great grandparents. John Johnston was in V:hite County in 18-34, and rave a deposition as to the marriage date of his sister and Zachariah Cross, when Mr. Cross applied for his evolutionary +car pension. There is no evidence that John Johnston ever lived in :shite County. His home was in Johnson County (Vienna) at the time of his wife's death, Between 1843 a:_d 48. But he was a r_entucr.ian, his parents mored from'iorth Carolina to Logan County, icy. about 1779. His father died in 1809, and John and hil mother, "Shaby" were administratossh f his estate. In 1818 John married Nancy manna, of Logan County. He was then a Meth- odist preacher, a circuit rider, and an associate of Peter Cartwri:ht. Referers r to him as a minister are found in Christian and Trigg Counties in Kentucky, also Lotan County. nithoL:rn I did not have proof o. descent from a 3oore, I was allot -ed to • becowe a member of the Loore Family 1tiesearch Association_ of '•:issouri, and the cone r a=ily iassociation of -as'irgtor.. =:oth organization ,- orked with me and for ce b;.,,t my --at^sh-eba 7 -;cone could : of be sou. d. W • Mr. Charles B. Boone of Chicago loaned rye his huge volume, The Boone Family by Hazel Attebury Spraker and I had plenty of time to study and copy from it. I joined several other organizations and placed ads in genealogical publications, corresponded with numerous persons, but no one could find my Bathsheba. Then I joined the Genealogy Club of America, and received their publication, The Genealogy Digest. fir. Kerry Ross Boren was on the Editorial Staff, and wrote some interesting articles, also had ads for his Borens in western Kentucky and southern Illinois. I asked him if he would look for my Boones and Johnstone in the sage area he v.as searching for his Borens. He agreed and started sending material, he asked me to help him by sending Boren information, which I was able to do. Eventually cane the letter that sent my spirits soaring Kerry Ross Boren had found that his Borens and Dinah Boone Allen and her family had come to Illinois with the Boone-Dagley party, but they had settled on the Indiana side of the Big Wabash. It is reported that the Lincoln family wain in this party, but went farther north into Indiana. None of these families stayed long in- Ill. & Ind. I imagine the Wabash flooded them out. Next we find these families and Jonathan and Elizabeth Boone appearing in Pike County, Ill. Dinah Boone Allen left a record stating that she was the daughter of Mary Calloway and Jonathan Boone, she was born in 1759, a sister (unnamed) Dorn in 1761 married David Smith and lived in :';arren County, Ky., Bathsheba born 1765 married Aathan Johnston. Then she names John, Daniel and Joseph. Dinah said their mother was Nary Calloway of Virginia, who married Jonathan Boone in Kentucky. Vieknow that when Daniel married a Catholic girl in Louisiana, he had to give a bit of information about himself, and he stated that his mother was Mary Carter. Daniel was born in 1774, and his mother could have been a second wife of Johathan. Besides Pike County history, which. some say is very inaccurat evidence that istrueis found in vrarren County, Ky. Marriages; in Skaggs Family History in l,;illiam & Mary Quarterly'Vol. 21, page 67. At last we have found where Jonathan Boone vert when he left his Fort and gill in Illinois, -and the date of his death should be 1818 instead of 1808. My next problem is to prove that Jonathan Boone is my gr -gr -gr -gr -grand- father. If that is so his brother, Daniel Soone is my gr -gr -g -r -great uncle. nd so my problem is solved, or is it?

According to the White County history, published in 1883 by Interstate Publishing Company of Chicago, Illinois, "Thomas Dagley was a native of Ireland. His wife was a native of Scotland. Of Scotch -Irish descent, the Dagleys, like all their race, have energy, strong common sense and practical worth. Thomas Dagley was baggage -master for General Washington in the Revolutionary War. During the march of the British there were guards placed over his wife's house to protect it from the ravages of the troops. He moved to New Haven i in 1812 with his family of five children. They were Sarah (Mrs. Joseph Boone), Rebecca (Mrs. William Withrow), Hannah' (Mrs. Hugh Withrow and afterward Mrs. Robin Harris), Ruth (Mrs. Carter Smith) and Samuel.

Following Dagley into Kentucky, Peter Creek was in Green County before Barren County was formed. In the Surveyors Book of Barren County, - Commissioners Certificate number 1640. Jonathan Boone, Commissioners Certificate number 1643, 200 acres to Thomas Dagley' by virtue. Commissioners Certificate number 1644 Joseph and Sally Boone, dated August 29, 1799. In the Barren County Circuit Court records, it turned out Joseph Boone had no clear title to 200 acres and Rebecca Dagley made a deposition in Circuit Court, Case fifty-seven, on August 24, 1813, that she witnessed the signing of the dead by Joseph Boone in April or May of 1811. This was probably where Joseph Boons was selling out and moving on into Illinois. Rebecca Dagley's name was also 2 Davie County Public Library Mocksvilie, NC listed in the American Genealogical Index in Washington in the first census taken in'1790. She was of the Slocum family. Other Dagleys listed were: James Dagley and John Dagley who lived in Pennsylvania. Their estimated dates of birth (175?). John Dagley lived in Virginia, estimated birth (174?). James Dagley and Jonathan Dagley, estimated birth (175?), lived in North Carolina. In January 1797, Thomas Dagley gave a deposition on behalf of Squire Boone in Shelby County, recorded in Dead Book B 1, page 321. Quote, "We, John Warford and Daniel Kitcham, in obedience to a warrant from the Court Of Shelby County, have on the sixteenth day, of this instant caused Thomas Dagley to come before us, about forty- two years of age and being duly sworn, deposeth and saith that in June 1796, he came in company with Squire Boone to where Sims Boling now lives and Mr. Boone said that was Gesses ;reek.

In 1800, Thomas Dagley and John Dagley Ijr each paid taxes on 200 acres. In 1801 listed Thomas Dagley but no John Dagley. Each year Thomas Dagley paid taxes on 200 acres until 1812. In 1813 he only paid on 100 acres. In 1814 no Dagley listed, which ties in with the informa- tion that has been handed down from generation to generation that Samuel Dagley went back to Kentucky and brought his father and sisters to Boone's Fort in Illinois. In 1814 Thomas and Samuel Dagley bought land in White County, Illinois. TOMBSTONE OF THOMAS DAGLEY 4 Davie Couniy PLI '; �7urary voc,av0e, NC ,. ____1�- .-.._. -- . ___..

Joseph Boone probably left Ken- tucky in 1811, and moving westward, settled on the banks of the river later called the Little Wabash. There are conflicting stories. Some say they settled in 1811 and some in 1812. He brought with him his young brother-in- law, Samuel Dagley. Here was built a wooden stockade beside the log cabins. There was the Cries Mill and a pioneer trading post. .The Fort was called Boone's Fort. The trading post was Operated by Roswell S. Grant, a Connecticut Yankee, who came to the settlement. He changed the name of Boone's Fort to New Haven in honor Of a city in his native state. Accord - int to White County history, page 938, Roswell Grant, a son of A. S.

I. answer all the-. letters coming into the Clerks office -that. pertain.. to the. old records and make J the necessary search: -for," the various requests. -You had requested [ ir$�formation on. the Dagley family and so far . my -search hasn't.revealed very much. We have''.a very good gene- alogical room;-in't4b Rowan Public Library that contains much printed & typed material on those persons who settled in this county. There is one collection knowri_as the.McCubbins Collection which contains abstracts. of * deeds .& wills; . some court minutes, some marriages, some deaths & etc. These notes once belonged to the late Mrs. Mamie McCubbins who did. genealogical work -here for over_ fifty years. Her notes are filed in 20 file drawers and arranged. in alphabetical order by surname and I- searched for a file on DAGLEY but.. was referred.. to - two. other files. -. Willcockson & Hunt where I, found- abstracts of "deeds for Thomas & Jonathan Dagley: But' in none ' of'` the. deeds . was Willcockson & Hunt mentioned. The deeds I found' are as follows:- -�' Abraham Willson'to Jonathan Dagley-- 200 acres Dutchmans Creek on Sept. 16; 1791• . Thomas Dagley to Jacob Keller - 80 acres on Bear Creek on Aug. 26, 1795. State Grant to Thomas Dagley - 192 acres on Bear Creek in 17910 Thomas Dagley to Casper Rowland,- 112 acres on Bear Creek_. in, .April`. 1792. Also one list of Taxables in 1796 in Capt. Hunts Company naming JOHENETHEN DAGLEY - 250. acres, j.I: assume:�that to mean the number of acres he had that were taxable ro n I checked our wills but - so far have not found anyfor anyone with o the surname Dagley. Also no birth records. N.C. did not begin re- , cording births until. 1913. We do have numerous books in the gene- ' • -� alogical room oneRowan- County cemeteries andvarious other counties c in N. C . �. I have a feeling that possibly your Dagley' s may have settled in cr' Davie County, .N.Ce; for that is where Dutchmans Creek is. Actually, all that portion of Davie County was once Rowan County. It was cut from Rowan in.1836 which may be a, little late for your Dagley's. Or its possible they moved out of the State of N.C. Anyway, the above deeds are all I find. If you would like copies of these deeds the charge is $2.00 each. And if you order them and you pay.by check or money order, please make payable to me. I might mention too that all our records, with the exception of the wills & deeds, were moved to -the N.C. State Archives, Raleigh, N.C. years ago. So, all we have to work with is the McCubbins Collection;*u O Q . dC ! CD . i � 1. C"�• C) Cr x.� Mrs. Philip Peacock W it ' •r 1420 ;Filbert Street Salisbury, N.C.-28144 r. F May 23, 1983 ?- Dear` Mr. Dagley, -Enclosed are the-four deeds you requested and do hope they. will be of much help to you: - In- my . last letter, April 16th, I mentioned that your Dagleys may have been livingin Davie County, N.C. and I found a map in the genealogi cal T rom drawn by Mr. Fred Hu hes in 1977. Its a -very � - large map but _• managed to copy a portion of-it iwhich lists Jonathan Dagley in section A2 and Thomas Dagley in section C2. I underlined both names with a red pen. This tap I believe shows & gives not only where each person lived but the date they bought the land. Incidentally, this map can be purchased from - "The Customs House" � P.O. Box 549, Jamestown, N.C. 27282 for $4.00 each. I imagine you make your check or money order payable to The Customs House. Now, about the the "list of taxables" that I mentioned in my last letter, that was all I saw and was in the files I searched for your Dagleys and only states -" Taxables in 1796 in Captain Hunts Company; Johenethen Dagley 250 acres." I also checked about ten volumes of cemetery records listing various -' � • - cemeteries• in Rowan and surrounding counties but found no Dagleys. I also checked Rowan County, N.C. marriages but none listed. As you will" note in these deeds three of them list the land on Bear/ Bare Creek and that is now in Davie County, N.C. So, this is all I have been able to find on your Dagley's. If I should run across anything else, I will send it to you.
