Boone, born Nov. 2, 1734, in Pennsylvania, opened up Kentucky for settlement between 1767 and 1784. He founded towns, served in the legislature, and became the most famous hunter and explorer of his time. As new settlers moved into the land he had opened, Boone moved further west and finally died in Missouri on Sept. 26, 1820.

Boone, Daniel (1734-1820), American pioneer, who played a major part in the exploration and settlement of Kentucky. Boone was born near Reading, Pennsylvania. In 1753 his family settled in a primitive settlement in what is now North Carolina, where Boone became a skillful hunter and trapper.

Boone set out to explore the wilderness around the Kentucky River, making the first of many trips into the region in 1767. Between 1769 and 1771, he explored eastern Kentucky, following a trail through the Cumberland Gap. In 1775, having been engaged by a Carolina trading company to establish a road by which settlers could reach Kentucky, he built a fort on the site of Boonesborough. The road established by Boone was later called the Wilderness Road. The settlement at Boonesborough was eventually established as a permanent village.

Daniel married Rebecca Ann Bryan on 14 Aug 1756 in Rowan Co, North Carolina. Rebecca (daughter of Joseph Bryan, Sr and Hester Hamdon (or Hampton)) was born on 9 Jan 1739 in Winchester, Frederick Co, Virginia; died on 18 Mar 1813 in Defiance, St.Charles Co, Missouri; was buried in Old Bryan Farm Cem, Marthasville, Warren Co, Missouri.

She was born near Winchester, Virginia. Her father was Joseph Bryan, Sr. but there is no clear documentation as to her birth mother. Some[who?] say her mother, Hester Hampton, died in childbirth, and that Alice (or Aylee) Linville, Bryan's second wife, raised her.

Early American Pioneer. She is best remembered as the wife of famed American pioneer and frontiersman Daniel Boone. While no actual portrait of her exists when she was living, people who knew her said that when she met her future husband, she was nearly his height and very attractive with black hair and dark eyes. Born Rebecca Ann Bryan, at the age of 10 she moved with her Quaker grandparents, Morgan and Martha Bryan, to the Yadkin River Valley in the backwoods of North Carolina where she met and courted Daniel Boone in 1753 and married him three years later at the age of 17. This union would product ten children. Additionally, she took in her new husband's two young orphan nephews, who lived with them in North Carolina until the family left for Kentucky in 1773. Without any formal education, she was reputed to be an experienced community midwife, the family doctor, leather tanner, sharpshooter, and linen-maker, resourceful and independent in the isolated wilderness areas that she and her large, combined family often found themselves. In the autumn of 1773, she came through the Cumberland Gap with her family and fifty others under the leadership of William Russell, though they were turned back by the violent resistance by Native Americans to British colonization west of the Allegheny Mountains. In 1775 her husband brought the family to the Kentucky River where, on behalf of the Transylvania Company, he and Richard Henderson laid out Fort Boonesborough. In May 1778 she left Kentucky under a cloud of rumors that her husband, who had been capture by the Chilicothe Shawnee Native American tribe, had turned Tory. She returned to her parents' settlement in North Carolina with five of her children, leaving behind her daughter Jemima who by then had married. In June 1778 her husband escaped his captors and returned to his family in North Carolina and finally convinced her to leave again for Kentucky, this time with nearly 100 of their relatives. They departed in September 1779, the largest emigration to date to travel through the Cumberland Gap. By late October 1779, they reached Fort Boonesborough but conditions were so bad that they left on Christmas Day, during what Kentuckians later called the "Hard Winter," to found a new settlement, Boone's Station, with 15 to 20 families on Boone's Creek about six miles northwest (near what is now Athens, Kentucky). By the following spring, she and her husband moved to a cabin several miles southwest on Marble Creek. In 1781 she lived in a double cabin with five of her children still living at home, the six children of her widowed uncle James Bryan, as well as her daughter Susannah with her husband, and with 2 to 3 children of their own, a household of almost 20 people. In 1783 she and her family moved where for the next few years she assisted her husband in creating a landing site at the mouth of Limestone Creek for flatboats coming down the Ohio River from Fort Pitt in Pennsylvania. They lived in a cabin built out of an old boat (on what is now Front Street in Maysville, Kentucky) and she ran the tavern kitchen and oversaw the seven slaves they owned. In 1787 he husband was elected to the Virginia legislature as Bourbon County's representative, and she moved with him to Richmond, Virginia and their youngest child, leaving the tavern in the hands of their daughter Rebecca and husband Philip Goe. In 1788 they moved to Point Pleasant (now in West Virginia) in the Kanawha Valley, settling on the south side of the river almost opposite the mouth of Campbell's Creek. In 1799 they followed their youngest son Nathan to Spain's Alta Louisiana (Upper Louisiana, now Missouri, about 45 miles west/northwest of Saint Louis) in the Femme Osage Valley. She died there after a brief illness at the age of 74 in the home of her daughter Jemima Boone Callaway and was interred at the nearby Old Bryan Family Cemetery, on the bank of Tuque Creek near Marthasville, Missouri. In 1845 her remains, along with her husband's (reportedly) were disinterred and reburied in Frankfort, Kentucky. (bio by: William Bjornstad)

GREENBRIER COUNTY VA COURT RECORDS
Pg 20 Sept 1790 On motion of Conrad Keller a commission is given him to take the acknowledgement of Cloe VanBibber wife of John VanBibber [son of Peter & Margery] her relinquishment of dower in land sold by her husband to said Keller. [NOTE: Capt. John VanBibber lived near Kellers now Summers County WV. They move to Point Pleasant after this date. Brother Peter had already settled there about 1781. The Indians were still a problem on the frontier which continued till the Anthony Wayne Treaty 1795.]

John Van Bibber had wandered over much of the eastern wilderness from Pennsylvania to Tennessee seeking a suitable place to settle & thoroughly enjoying his nomadic freedom. Through some misadventure, he lost his way & all his possessions including his survive-or-die flintlock rifle. That was not a very healthy situation - with Indians lurking everywhere, who were taking an increasinly-dim view of the invading hordes of whites - & with no way to slay game for a growling stomach.
Just about to give up in despair, Van Bibber spotted smoke curling skyward from what could only have been a chimney. He was certain it was no Indian campfire.
Charging through the underbrush, joy of joys, he found a pioneer cabin which was little more than a lean-to. Whooping & hollering - in English so he wouldn't be shot for an Indian - he greeted the inhabitant, who welcomed him only as a lonioneer & hospitable Southerners can do. The man introduced himselft as Dan Boone, who fed & bedded Van Bibber, beginning a friendship lasting for decades.
Finally, Van Bibber felt he must take his leave, & Boone loaded him up with light trail food, probably including jerky & rockahominy, or parched corn, such as the Indians used, & forced upon him, against his protests, one of his prized flins. It was a beautiful piece, with carved wood stock & fancy brass plating, plus a silver sight made by gunsmith, Michael Kimberlin, of whom research disappointingly fails to turn up any record.
It is entirely probable that several of Chief Cornstalk's braves on the other end of it said, "Ow, that smarts," since the piece had a bore of about 60 caliber.
John later passed the now-famous Van Bibber rifle to his son, Mathias (Mathias was not a son of john, but a nephew through brother Peter) reputed to have been one of the 1st sheriffs of Kanawha County, who scratched his monogram in the brasck plate.
