538The Boones and New Haven
Years ago Lucille Lawler, Gallatin County's veteran historian, told the story of Boone's Fort, which later became known as New Haven. The following is gathered from her research.
Daniel Boone's brother, Jonathan, and son, Joseph, arrived in the unsettled forested area of Southern Illinois, making their way here from Barren County, Ky. They were looking for a mill site and selected a spot on the Little Wabash where they installed mill stones and encircled the area with a stockade for protection from Indians. This enclosure was large enough to hold several families.
The land office at Shawneetown did not open until about 1814; before that, any families were considered squatters.
Jonathan Boone was born in Pennsylvania in 1730 and died in the New Haven area in 1808. When the Boones came to this area their neighbors, the Dagleys, accompanied them. Thomas Dagley was born in 1755 in Ireland. (Our library has a book on the family history of this man which tells of his service in the Revolution.) Mr. Dagley came to Boone's Fort with five children in the early 1800s. One child, Sarah, later married Joseph Boone. Thomas Dagley eventually bought land in White County in an area which was later known as Union Ridge.
The Jonathan Boone cabin stood for more than 130 years near the river in New Haven. Daniel Boone came to visit and stayed a while with his brother. The Dagleys reported that in 1818, Daniel Boone slept in their
home.
According to Mrs. Lawler, Boone's Mill was named in 1813 to mark out a road from Burnt Prairie to Shawneetown. The State Legislature used the mill as a landmark in describing the boundary line separating White and Gallatin Counties saying, "beginning in the eye of the millstone in Boone's Mill in New Haven."
Joseph Boone and wife, Sally Dagley Boone, kept a trading post at the early settlement. In 1818, the Boones sold out their mill, plus the land and town site. Joseph and Sally Boone moved to Arkansas Territory. There are many known Dagley descendants in White County and, no doubt, also many Boone descendants in the area today.
