Hi,

You may find information on "Daniel BOONE's excursion to KY in
the 1770's and who he went with, the COBURN's, James and possibly his
young son John, b1762 Philadelphia, though the CALLAWAY Family Assoc.,
(CFA) & their Callaway Family Journal. I descend from Peter CALLAWAY.

Here are their websites:

I was at the BOONE Homestead, here in PA, may years back & was
looking in a book that gave his descendants. One of his descendants
married at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Chester, Delaware Co., PA.
It has been so long ago, since I read this, I can't remember their names.

Now, about the COBURN & DeWEES Families they are both in the
Delaware & Chester Co. areas but they go back to the State of
Delaware & the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I did some research
for a client on the DeWEES Family. They immigrated to New York from
Holland in 1688 & then to Kent Co., DE. There is a book out on the
DeWEES - DeWEESE Family -- you may be able to get though inter
library loan.

I had a query last week on COBURN -- I will send a copy to the
mailing lists.

Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)

<< Hi,
Thank you for the Boone Family notice, interesting for me and in my
backyard, almost literally!

My interests is with Daniel Boone's excursion to KY in the 1770's and
who he went with, the Coburn's, James and possibly his young son John,
b1762 Phidelphia. John moved to KYin 1785, after serviee and law
studies, and handled some of D. Boone's land claims. It is unclear as
to which James is John's father, and who his other siblings were except
Mary Coburn who married William DeWeese, of Whitemarsh Twp, and came to
KY with him in 1785. We suspect that these Coburns may be from the
Chester area. Love to hear from anyone with interest in these surnames.
