By now, even children as young as seven or eight have heard of the iconic American folk hero, Daniel Boone (1734-1820). Despite native resistance, especially from the Shawnee tribe, Boone blazed a narrow trail through a notch in the Appalachian Mountains known as the Cumberland Gap. The Gap lay at the intersection of the modern states of Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Virginia. The trail itself was called the Wilderness Road, but it was hardly a road as we have come to know the super-wide interstate highways in the twenty-first century. The Road ran west into western Virginia—into what is now the state of Kentucky, but which was then called Kentucky County, Virginia. By the end of the eighteenth century, the Wilderness Road saw as many as 200,000 settlers travel along its path into the Kentucky wilds.

Boone eventually founded a fortification known as Fort Boonesborough. The story of the founding of Fort Boonesborough and the influx of non-native settlers into Kentucky is a well-known story. What is not familiar to most genealogists and historians is that in the late eighteenth century Boone and twenty-seven of his men were captured by Shawnee warriors under the leadership of Chief Blackfish. The food supply at Boonesborough was dwindling almost to nothing due to attacks and the destruction of crops and other foodstuffs by the Shawnee. So in January 1778 Boone led thirty men, including his two scouts, to the Little Licking River and its nearby salt spring. The mission was intended to hunt for more meat and to accumulate enough salt to preserve the bounty. Boone, ever the brave and resourceful hunter, was alone searching for game when he was surprised by Chief Blackfish and a large band of Shawnees —likely more than 100 braves.

While it is probable that some warriors favored killing Boone immediately, Blackfish prevailed. He told Boone that he must quietly lead them back to his base camp. He would then be required to have his men surrender peacefully. If they did not, Blackfish assured Boone that he would be the first to die. If he was successful at having his men surrender without incident, Blackfish vowed to spare Boone’s life and those of the men under his command. Boone agreed to do as Blackfish demanded.

Boone and the Shawnee arrived at the camp the next day, February 9, 1778. At the camp, it was a sunny but cold winter day. Snow had recently fallen to a level of five or six inches. Still, the Licking River was so high that it covered the salt spring, so the men were taking a much-needed rest, lying on their blankets on the snow-covered ground. http://www.goodmanhistory.com/other-

Researching the Soblosky Family (Part II)

By Helen Soblosky

In the last issue of the Green, I described how I received information from my husband's cousin that led me to find the immigration information I needed for some of the family. After I received this information I decided to try to meet more of the children who descended from the children that immigrated with their mother Mary. My husband's parents are both deceased and now so are all of his aunts and uncles. Now the children of Anna, Alex and John are all who remain. I told you already how Jerry helped me with the information he provided with his father's Intent to Become a Citizen paper. His father was John, the youngest of the children at the time of immigration. I also told you about the cousin who had started to help me, but who passed on the same week my husband died. He was the son of Anna, the oldest child. This led me to reach out to the children of Alex, the second oldest child who immigrated. Alex had all daughters but one. His last child was a son who died at childbirth. The mother also passed away at this time. My husband's cousin Stanley, who was very close to him, had addresses for Alex's daughters and gave them to me. Over time I contacted three of the girls I did not know before my husband died. One of their sisters I did know but she had become withdrawn and would not communicate with us when we made the original trip back to Wilkes-Barre, PA.

With the addresses of three of the girls in hand, I started writing letters. The girls were all very cordial and eventually we either spoke by phone or exchanged letters. Two of the daughters and I eventually decided to meet in Wilkes-Barre at the home of the son of the third daughter, who did not meet us there. His wife Grace has also been working on the family tree and knew her way around Wilkes-Barre, so she offered to be our chauffeur. It was wonderful meeting these cousins and they wished they had known me before my husband died so they could have known him. The girls, (actually women older than myself) had not been back to Wilkes-Barre for some time and weren't familiar with where their grandparent's gravesite was. We did some traveling around. We visited the gravesite of their Dad, Alex, who is buried in an unmarked grave. My husband had taken me there years ago, so I knew about where he was buried. The girls told me of how their stepmother refused to let a marker be put on the grave so there was nothing they could do. I knew where the grandparents were buried so we found that cemetery and I showed them their grandparent's graves. The uncle who earned the Purple Heart is also buried there. They took me to show me where their mother is buried, which is not the same cemetery as their dad. Their oldest sister, who is the uncommunicative one, has been placed in a nursing home and we all made a visit to see her.

On our tour I had an unexpected pleasure. It turns out that the girls had to go into an orphanage for a while after their mother died. Their father was a coal miner and just couldn't care for them at the time. The orphanage was only for Polish children. It was while they were in the orphanage that one of the girls I met was being groomed to be a nun. Grace took us out to show us

where the orphanage was. This brought back memories of their life there. While out in this area we were also taken to a place called Ashley, which is where my husband's grandfather Wasil's brother lived with his family. I have not had time since the visit to look further into this family, but hope to in the future. There is information that there may have been a sister of Wasil who also immigrated, but again I have no information on this.

One other visit I made while there was to a cousin of my husband's uncle's wife. She had handled the funeral of my husband's cousin when he died and was found in his home. He was alone because his mother had died shortly before my husband did. This cousin had cleaned out the house and had kept some of the family records, but had unfortunately discarded my husband's uncle's army discharge papers. She had, however, in an earlier communication sent me baptismal records and the uncle's Purple Heart ribbon. She felt it should be kept in the family, so I gave it to my military son. There were also some pictures that were the originals of mimeographed pictures I had received in a scrapbook. We had a very good visit with her and I was personally able to thank her for taking care of little Wassy's funeral.

Needless to say, my visit only opened more doors for exploration of this family. We all had a wonderful visit. The girls I met also had a sister who was adopted when they were children. A couple of years ago, Grace was able to locate this sister.

The girls, all but the oldest in the nursing home, were able to reunite with their sister once again and renew a long lost relationship. How sad for them that it took this long, but how grateful they were to find her. The moral here once again is not to be afraid to approach family members via phone, letter, email or whatever method is available to you. I found the cousin who had my husband's uncle's purple heart by sending a letter to the funeral home that had taken care of his cousin's burial. They provided me with the contact information I needed. All in all, the trip was worthwhile. It provided me with much more than I expected when I planned this trip. Of course, it doesn't always work out that way. If I had stopped trying when the trip I took with my husband was not fruitful, I would have missed out on this wonderful opportunity to meet more of his family and to exchange knowledge they had of their parents. You never know what you will find that you didn't already know. So keep researching. Good luck with your family endeavor.

It is with great hope you are all getting the New Year off to a good start. The weather held out for our first speaker of the year, Tom Neal, in January. Tom spoke to us on finding family information in newspapers. He presented some pretty comical clippings.

We started February off with the lock-in on the third. We had relatively small attendance, but it seemed like everyone was making good progress with what they were working on. Our guest speaker for February 25th, Shayna Muckerheide, brought a presentation on Jewish research. She said she has been doing research on her family since age 14 and has both Italian and Jewish background. Although her presentation was on Jewish research, anyone researching an immigrant could have benefited from her presentation. She pointed out important information found on a ship’s manifest and reviewed important documents such as a Declaration of Intent to Become a Citizen and the Intent to Become a Citizen. Both of these papers are required by any immigrant who wants to become a Naturalized Citizen. Much of what Shayna covered would have been useful to those who are not researching a Jewish family history. I just want to point out that because a meeting is on a specific subject that may not pertain to your research does not mean you shouldn't attend a meeting. I do not have Jewish heritage that I know of, but much of Shayna's information crossed into my husband’s family since they emigrated from Poland. You also never know when you may need to help someone else with a research question about a subject you may have learned about, of find that you have that history in your family tree.

I would encourage all of you to attend as many meetings as you can. Some of our speakers come from other areas to bring us helpful information. The planning committee is already hard at work on next year's schedule. If you have any subjects you would like to hear about, please submit your idea to Steve Chylinski, Nancy Brock, or Gwen Mayer.

We have been blessed to have such a beautiful February with having broken warm

temperature records. I can only wish we continue to be blessed with a light winter and good health for all our members through this coming year. In March we are looking forward to having two of our own members present topics. Ted Minier will discuss "Citing Your Sources" and Trudy Painting will discuss “Church Records.”

In addition, we have what should be a great presentation April 22 by Dr. Bradley Keefer on Civil War research. He will be discussing some of the road blocks researchers hit when looking for their Civil War soldier. Dr. Keefer is a professor at the Ashtabula Branch of Kent State. April 26-29 is the OGS Annual Conference at Kalahari in Sandusky, Ohio. So we have a lot to look forward to in the coming months. It would be great to see all of you there!

HowAccurateareDNAKitsusedforTestingAncestry

Millions of people are purchasing and using home DNA kits to determine their ancestry. The television program Inside Edition enlisted the help of two sets of identical triplets and one set of identical quadruplets to investigate the accuracy of the at-home tests. The ancestry of each group should be absolutely identical since they all came from the same egg.

Test kits from 23andMe, FamilyTree DNA, and AncestryDNA were used.

The results are surprising. The medical experts were confused and

disappointed because of the varied results. Does this indicate that some of our beliefs about DNA are wrong?

You decide. You can watch the television program's tests and the results at https://goo.gl/Kz5ODH.
