How long these officers continued is not known, as min utes for the next several years after the second session in 1791 are missing. The 1791 session records a list of delegates from the various 14 churches, and It is noted that Jonathan Boone, father of Daniel Boone, was a delegate from the Yadkin church. The minutes were printed by J. C. Horton, printer, of Watauga county, and a foot note states that he printed them as per the manuscript and is not responsible for errors. It is also stated that one Mr. J. S. Kilby of Trap Hill, N. C„ paid for the printing himself. This sketch is of interest to the people of this section, all of which was Rowan county at that time, including Surry county before Yadkin was taken from it, Wilkes, Davie and perhaps others, be cause the association members are preparing for their meeting next week at Shady .
