1049,1050She and sister Frances and Jemima [Boone, Daniel’s daughter] were captured in an Indian raid on what is now Boonesborough, Kentucky. Two weeks after her rescue, she married one of her rescuers, Samuel Henderson, in Boonesborough in a ceremony at which Daniel Boone, acting under his appointment as a magistrate of Transylvania, officiated. Her father permitted the marriage on the condition that Samuel put up a bond that "he would have the marriage solemnized by less dubious authority at the earliest opportunity." Their son Alfred said he often heard his parents say that they were the first couple ever married in Kentucky and that his sister Fanny was the first child born there after marriage. They moved from Kentucky to North Carolina around 1780.
