Notes for Jesse Bryan Boone

. . . Yours in haste, Isaac Van Bebber.
Write to Albert G. Boone, Westport, MO, he is a grandson of Col. Daniel Boone, and an old acquaintance of my father. His father, Jesse Boone, died at St. Charles in our first State legislature in 1820. Look over the incoherant manner this is put together and expect the next to be worse.
Yours,
Isaac Vanbibber

==========================
Son Takes House [Charleston, WV - on Kanawha Avenue in Kanawha City, South of the Kanawha River]
The house that was located about four miles above this city was of rough hewn logs and was built in two parts of one room each. There was a passage between the rooms and a long porch in front. After Boone left for Missouri, his son, Jesse Boone, lived in it until 1816.

438My information has Chloe as the daughter of Captain John Van Bibber. Have just heard a story about Chloe being "captured" by Indians and that her father rode out to ransom her back. The stories say that he rode on horseback to the present state of Oregon to get her in 1792? BUT, how can that be the case....... perhaps a place called "Oregon" in the "old Northwest territory"? Anyone have more information and a resource for it???
another source439 says: Chloe was dau. of James and Samoa Van Bibber
another source440 says: b. 1768
440According to some old family records, Boone's son, Jesse, married one of John Van Bibber's younger daughters, Chloe. (Look out, here comes that same flintlock rifle again.) No it wasn't a shotgun wedding.
Years earlier, Chloe had been kidnapped by Indians and spirited off to one of their villages in Ohio. Her father, headstrong and determined as are most of his descendants, grabbed his rifle, mounted his horse
and began to search for her although he didn't have the vaguest notion which tribe had taken her or where. For 84 days he roamed and combed every Indian village in Ohio, the most likely place to look, since Cornstalk and his ilk had been driven across the Ohio River.
For some reason, known only to the Great Spirit, the Indians feared Van Bibber and let him come and go in peace as they did Boone. He kept a record of the time it took by cutting notches on a small stick attached with rawhide to his shot pouch and powder horn. Unaccountably, the twig was highly polished, possibly from his constant rubbing of it in agitation and grief as one would a worry stone today. Some over-imaginative descendents claimed the notches Redskins he had slain, but that is ridiculous, for he was no murderer and the notches are marked off in units of sevens or weeks. His persistence finally paid off. John found Chloe and brought her back home to West Virginia.
John later passed on the now-famous Van Bibber rifle to his son, Mathias, ( Mathias was not a son of John, but a nephew through his brother Peter ) reputed to have been one of the first sheriffs of Kanawha County, who scratched his monogram in the brass stock plate. He also did a bit of other scratching around and married Mariam Hutchinson. ( This was Margaret Hutchinson, his second wife, whom he married about 1811 and they had no children ). They only had two children: David, and a daughter, Felicity, ( Felicity was a daughter of Margaret Robinson, first wife of Mathias ) who married Moses Mann Hill, son of Spencer Hill and grandson of Francis Hill, oldest known member of that tribe in America. Doubtless you have heard of the West Virginia Hills? They are everywhere, for Moses and Felecity must not have had much to occupy their spare time—they only had 15 children, equally fertile.
