Daniel Boone, who was once a famous pioneer, and still is, lived in Mocksville at one point in his life. ** ** Daniel Boone was a famous pioneer boy who explored lots of Kentucky and took many men with him, at times. Daniel’s parents were Squire Boone and Sarah Boone. Sarah Morgan was her maiden name. They were married in Gwynedd Pennsylvania at the Friends Meetinghouse. After they were married they moved to upper Schuylkill River Valley, in 1731. Squire and Sarah Boone had eleven children including Daniel.

On December 22, 1769, Daniel was captured by the Shawnees Indians. On February 9, 1778, Daniel and a few other men were making salt, in the process the Shawnees Indians deliberately took the men and hid them. Later that year in June, after several attempts, Daniel escapes with the knowledge of him and the men he was captured with. Daniel did not decide to forgive the Shawnees Indians, instead he declared war on them in 1786. ** ** Daniel was a busy explorer, so he had to move houses many times. Daniel moved with his family lots of times and also with his wife, Sarah. Daniel’s first move was from Pennsylvania. A few years later after all the children were born, the Boone family moved to Rowan County, North Carolina, on the Yadkin River. Also, that same year, Daniel went on his first hunt of the season, 1751. In 1759, Daniel’s family was forced to move, so they moved to Culpeper County, in Virginia.
