                   FROM AN UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT BY CLIFF WARRICK " ON A FARM NOT FAR NORTH OF THOMAS AND BARBARA MILLARD WAS THE HOME OF SQUIRE AND SARAH BOONE.  IT WAS HERE ON NOVEMBER 2, 1734, THAT ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS SCOUTS AND EXPLORERS IN AMERICAN HISTORY WAS BORN.  HIS NAME WAS DANIEL BOONE.  HIS PARENTS LIVED NEAR THE TOWN OF OLEY IN EXETER TWONSHIP DURING DANIEL'S EARLY YEARS AND IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THE MILLARD FAMILY AND THE BOONE'S WERE WELL ACQUAINTED WITH EACH OTHER.
       DANIEL'S GRANDPARENTS HAD MIGRATED FROM ENGLAND IN 1717 SEEKING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN PENNSYLVANIA.  THE FAMIY WERE QUAKERS AND PROBABLY ATTENDED THE EXETER MEETING HOUSE WHERE JOSEPH AND BENJAMIN MILLARD JOINED IN 1748.  THE BOONE AND MILLARD FAMILIES WERE TO CROSS PATHS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE NEXT ONE HUNDRED YEARS AND SEVERAL OF THE BOONE GIRLS MARRIED INTO THE MILLARD FAMILY.
       IN 1750, SQUIRE AND SARAH BOONE AND THEIR ELEVEN CHILDREN LEFT PENNSYLVANIA SEEKING MORE AND BETTER LAND.  THEY TURNED SOUTH, THROUGH THE BROAD SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA, SETTLING IN NORTH CAROLINA'S YADKIN RIVER VALLEY. MANY NEIGHBORS WERE OLD FRIENDS FROM PENNSYLVANIA.  THE FAMILY OF JOSEPH BRYAN LIVED ON NEARBY SUGAR TREE CREEK.  DANIEL'S SISTER MARY, MARRIED WILLIAM BRYAN, AND IT WAS PROBABLY AT THEIR WEDDING THAT DANIEL MET HIS FUTURE WIFE, REBECCA BRYAN, WHOM ME MARRIED IN 1756."
