Was reading a biography on Daniel boone's life and halfway through I find a story about a 1773 trip to scout kentucky and two brothers were among the small group...recognized the name and made a call and looked some stuff up online. My great x8 grandfather and his brother were chosen by boone to go along. Didn't see that coming!

Good for the old folks. Have you read that Pat Boone is a direct decedent of Daniel Boone?

Nope. He wasn't there lol

Now they just make wine.

Lol the family name I found was mendenhall. We aren't famous for anything

...other than I guess the glacier

Found out years ago that I'm related to the Johnston family in North Carolina... that owned [bleep] Kinte (Toby).

Not really on topic though...

I've recently been tracing my "roots" and found one tidbit that really stood out. My x6 Great Grandfather was "A gunsmith and cabinet maker by trade and contracted to make 12,000 stand of arms for General Washington in the Revolutionary War. During the war, the British captured his shops and he was forced to run to prevent his own capture. He went with General Washington's army after his shops were captured as a gun repairer and gun tinkerer."

I'd dearly love to find one of the guns he made...
