Dear Mr. Reader,
It’s a nice coincidence that you have communicated with Karen Roberts. Her (deceased) mother and I are first cousins through our grandmother Lula Day Wilson. My older brother (deceased) John Wilson, and Karen also had communicated extensively on our family.genealogy.
Thank you Mr. Wilson for your latest additions to this H-Kentucky posted material on pioneering history for Muchmore and Gibbs Family.
It is most welcome. Over a period of years, 2018-2020 at least, did have number f exchanges with your cousin Karen Roberts about Muchmore, Hannah Boone history and Gibbs History.
It seems we are related also. Not done much on these degrees of distances in genealogy; only, some very basic historical research based on y own 20th Century family history and efforts.

As it has been discussed, Hannah may have been the daughter of Jonathan Boone:
I descend from John Gibbs through his granddaughter, Evaline Gibbs who married John Washington Day. K. Roberts, my 1st cousin 1X, has researched this claim for decades (cited above) and remains unconvinced to this day. An anecdotal bit of information is that at the Kentucky funeral (~1960) of my grandmother, Lula Day Davis Wilson, a representative of the Daniel Boone Society, attended (according to my deceased aunt). As it has been discussed, Hannah may have been the daughter of Jonathan Boone. I suppose you are well aware of the uncertainty in Hanna’s parentage.
