Squire Boone 

Thanks for this one! Squire was one of my many times over Great Grandfathers.

I believe Squire was injured with a tomahawk as well at some point. Supposedly a tomahawk split his skull and they treated it by somehow fixating two board on each side of his head to allow the bone to heal. I was a tour guide at Squire Boone Caverns in southern Indiana, where he is currently laid to rest. His bones were discovered in a sinkhole cave where he has buried. When they found his bones and sent them to be confirmed, they used the scar in the skull, as well as other injuries he sustained in his life, as a way to identify as well as DNA testing. You can in fact still take tours of the cave. It is a guided tour and they give a lot of info on Squires life. They’ve also rebuilt the grist mill on the original foundation and you can see a demonstration on how they made corn meal.

Squire’s son, Samuel Boone was one of my ancestors. His younger brother was Daniel. He served in the American Revolution whose occupation was a gunsmith. His great granddaughter Mary Ann married my gr x2, a descendant of the Royal Brandenburg-Hohenzollern family. Many of my relatives still reside in Eastern Ky, mostly in the Daniel Boone National Forest.

Squier is my ninth grandfather

My relative, John Snoddy was led through Cumberland Gap by D. Boone, was a resident of Fort Boonesbourgh, bought land in KY(near the Hickman Creek area) from Daniel and Rebecca. He also fought Indians at that Creek I mentioned. Before, he lived in Rowan, N.C., and his house was burned by Tories. I trace back to The Great Pennsylvania Wagon Road through him, and back to the Snodgrass area of Scotland, which borders England, back to a Samuel Snoddy. My grandmother was Wanda Jo Snoddy on my dad’s side. John Snoddy was a founder of Richmond, KY too.

"The Forgotten Boone" That is the title of the book you need to write! Very impressive and inspiring gentleman. Thank you for this very interesting video into the storied Boone family!

The older i get, the more i appreciate my Country's history. Im from New York. Manhattan to be exact. I can tell.younall.about my Citys story, but i dont know very much as far as places ive never seen. In other words your Local history fascinates me.

I'm a descendant of Squire...He's like my seventh generation great grandfather....I have always enjoyed hiking, being in the trees, and often thought of him and Daniel when I'm in nature. Remarkable people I am proud of....Squire was quite accomplished for his age....wish you'd tell more facts about Squire.....not about you....

Thank you for this. Squire is my 7th gr grndpa.

Enjoyed your discussion of Squire Boone and family. I highly recommend the Squire Boone Cave tour near Corydon, Indiana. Yes, the guided tours take you to Squire's gravesite within the cave. Next time I get back to Southern Indiana, I will take the tour again and remember to take the time to look for and read the messages Squire Boone carved into the Mill foundation stones.

My ancestors were at the Battle of Blue Licks and managed to survive that ambush.

Thanks!

My mother was born in Covington bless you and your family

Daniel Boones brother Samuel was my 8th great grandfather

If you look back for Daniel... there was a terrible action taken against two of his children by their church because they married someone outside "the church " membership.

I have heard actor richard boone is a decendant of squire boone

I’m from Squire’s brother Hezekiah.

Squire seems very interesting- cool name to ( regal?)

Do you know anything about Daniels fist cousin Hezekiah Boone. ? It is said Daniel and his cousin Hezekiah had quite a few adventures together. Hezekiah was with Daniel during many of his moves and his battles with Indians.

Have you read Spencer’s History of Kentucky Baptists?

Hes buried in NorthCarolina i have seen his grave

Any actual significance

Why are you posting this without having the facts. I have the whole story written by my Boone and VanCleaves. You seem to be discussing Squire Boone Jr. Even though many of the first families that built fort Boonesbourgh are my ancestors, they went through Cumberland Gap into Indian territory. They didn’t have any right to be there. My 5 times great Aunt Jane VanCleave was Squire Boone Jr.s wife.
