One of the most famous explorers and pioneers in U.S. history, Daniel Boone was born on November 2 1734 in Pennsylvania. Boone married Rebecca Bryan on August 14 1756 and, according to the Boone Association, had the following children:
- James Boone, born May 3 1757
- Israel Boone, born January 25 1759
- Susannah Boone, born November 20 1760
- Jemima Boone, born October 4 1762
- Levina Boone, born March 23 1766
- Rebecca Boone, born May 26 1768
- Daniel Morgan Boone, born December 23 1769
- Jesse Boone, born May 23 1773
- William Boone, born June 20 1775
- Nathan Boone, born March 3 1781
Daniel Boone fathered 10 children in his marriage to Rebecca. Sadly, William Boone died soon after his birth but it is interesting to note that Nathan Boone, his final child, was the first white man to be born in Kentucky.
