Howdy Cousin (lots of times removed). I was about to bring up the Squire Boone thing, but see you covered it. Daniel Boone had no sons that survived to adulthood, so any relative with the Boone name (my mother's maiden name) that claims relation comes from his brother, Squire (hmm, interesting baby name). So you are also related to Pat Boone (singer - ties to Ocean Shores WA), and likely related to the Huston family (like the Hollywood producer - was Houston in Ireland, but when they went to Scotland ~1600 to avoid persecution for being Protestant they dropped the 'o" - then went to Williamsburg ~1620 - a few years after the starvation years, but just before the Mayflower). I really could be wrong on this, haven't looked at it in years, but an uncle did lots of genealogy (visited Salt Lake City) just before the Internet so I'm remembering bits and pieces
Meanwhile, my first drunk at an early age was on some Boones Farm product. I remember visiting a **** restuarant in the RP ~1987 and they had Boones Farm at a stupid price as an imported "wine."
Actually, you might want to know that I've learned that Daniel did have at least one son who made it to adulthood. Daniel Morgan Boone, his son, was born in 1769 and died in 1839, five years after purchasing 80 acres of land in Lexington, KY from the US Goverment--just saw the certificate of purchase signed by Andrew Jackson! Daniel Morgan had a son James, though I don't know anything yet about his survival.
And I guess T. Boone Pickens fits into "our family" somewhere too. Haven't come across it specifically but a clue is that someone has two family trees, a Boone one that's public and a Pickens one that's private.
