Sarah Boone Willcockson Died In Clark Co. Ky.
A new discovery of a letter to Lyman Draper by Daniel Pennington, who was the son of Daniel Boone's sister, Hannah, finally confirms that Sarah Boone Willcockson, Daniel Boone's sister, died in Clark County, Ky. On 4-17-1853 Pennington wrote "... uncle Wilcox died died in North Carolina and his wife in Clark County, Ky. in the 93rd year of her age." Draper MS, tape 23c at page 41.
We have known that Jeremiah Wilcoxen wrote to Draper that Sarah moved to Kentucky and lived with her grandson, Jesse Boone Willcockson, until her death.Jesse lived in Clark County.Some have disputed the accuracy of Jeremiah's statement.The discovery of Pennington's staement confirms its accuracy.
