My Ancestors [by E. June Brown Snyder]

written between 1946/7

In 1775 Daniel Boone cut a wagon path from Cumberland Gap to Boonesboro in Kentucky.
During the Revolution, Indian troubles became less frequent and life for the settlers of Tennessee and Kentucky was more endurable.
At the close of the Revolution, the settlements in Kentucky and Tennessee were the only ones west of the mountains. After the war, settlers went to Kentucky in large numbers. The settlements became so numerous that the restless Daniel Boone moved on into Missouri for more "elbow room."
Nathan Boone was Daniel Boone's youngest son.
My father's mother's mother, whose name was Sarah Boone, was Nathan Boone's grand-daughter. My grandmother was born in Ash Grove, Missouri, where my grandfather was also born in 1858.
John Fulton Brown married Martha Ann Woodward. When my father, Emulus Roy Brown was only a few months old they moved from Their homestead near Ash Grove (Missouri) to Pullman, Washington, in 1889. In 1892 they moved to Kendrick, Idaho where they resided for 37 years.
John Brown served as a member of the city council at different times, and he was one of those who were directly responsible for the creation of our city park after the debris of the big fire had been cleared away. He also served as postmaster for nine years.
He had been engaged in various enterprises and from 1932 until hes death in June of 1939 he was in the garage business.

decided to play hooky one afternoon. The result was that we each got five swats apiece. Those swats left a very deep impression on me that I shall never forget.
I am now a Junior in Kendrick High School and carry on activities the same as any other average high school student.
It has been said by Mrs. E.R. Brown, "I don't know what I would do without her." Of course everone to his own opinion.

My father's mother's mother, whose name was Sarah Boone [this reference to "Boone" really confused me in my search for my line to Daniel Boone because Sarah's last name was actually "Van Bibber" . . . I believe she was referred to as Sarah "Boone" by my great uncle since her parents died when she was young and she was raised by her grandparents, Nathan and Olive Boone], was Nathan Boone's grand-daughter. My grandmother was born in Ash Grove, Missouri, where my grand father was also born in 1858.
John Fulton Brown married Martha Ann Woodward. When my father, Emulus Roy Brown was only a few months old they moved from their homestead near Ash Grove to Pullman, Wash., in 1889. In 1892 they moved to Kendrick where they resided for 37 [actually 47] years (1892 - 1939).

[the following are rough notes from mom's paper]

4 great Grandfather to me [E. June Brown]

My Father's Mother's

Nathan Boone was my Grandmother's (on my Father's side) Great-Grandfather and Daniel Boone was Nathan Boone's (his youngest son) Father.

Daniel Boone moved from Kentucky to Missouri in 1799 and went to abut the center of the state. The town of Boonesville there is named after him. His youngest son Nathan moved to southwest Missouri (Ozark Country) in 1822 or 1823. [it was actually 1837]
Uncle Jack Woodward's mother (my great grandmother) was Nathan Boone's grand-daughter.

My Grandmother was born in Missouri (at the homestead in Ash Grove) and my Father was born in Missouri and they moved west (1889) when he was still a baby. (To Johnson, Washington) to Pullman, then, in 1892, they moved to Kendrick, Idaho.

John Brown's Dad was killed by the Indians [looks as though he was more likely "bushwacked" in 1863 by Union soldiers, , but could have been Confederate Soldiers during the Civil War]

More about Grand Dad (about the Garage) in the paper in Mom's scrapbook. [we can't find this scrapbook ... most likely thrown away]
