Kin Of Dan I Boone
(EDITORS NOTE: A feature
story on Herman Estes and
his Boone ancestory with full
photo coverage will appear in a
forth coming issue of The
Cherokee Scout.)
People do beat all! Some
people anyhow. For instance,
if you were a direct descendant
of such an illustrious figure in
American History as Daniel
Boone, would you keep quiet
about it?
And 1 can just hear you
screaming, "Why, of course
not!" I'm just like you, too,
1 would be for telling it. Tell
you what, if 1 were kin to some
body like that I'd probably call
the Party Line Show, the first
thing, and tell about a hundred
thousand people. Then, you
know good'n well that I'd sure
put information like that in a
whole bunch of newspapers.
But everybody is not like me
and you. 1 reckon it's a good
thing too, on account of 1 can't
imagine a world as fouled up
as one would be if it was full
of folks like us - and, espe
cially, if they were all like me.
Herman Estes, of Brass
town, N.C., right here in Clay
County, is one of those people
who is not a bit like me. He
is a Great, Great, Great, Great
Grandson of Ole Daniel Boone,
and I've known him for twenty
years. But I had never heard
a word about Dan'l being his
famous kinsman until 1 actu
ally visited in his home a few
nights ago.
1 don't believe 1 would have
heard a word of it even then if
1 hadn't been nosey and asked
about a family crest - or coat
of arms that 1 saw hanging on
the wall in the Estes living
room.
When 1 did question his about
it he finally got around to expa
aining that he was a fifth gen
eration descendant of THE
Daniel Boone, Oh, he's proud
of it, sure, but he's perfectly
content to just keep infor
mation like that literally bot
tled up right there in his and
Mabel's (his wife) house.
Well, they have kept a pretty
tight lid on the secret long en
ough. I'm presently engaged in
a project that'll not only prize
the cover off, but one that'll
lose it for good.
Herman was born in Ken
tucky and waited until about
twenty-five years ago to mig
rate to Clay County where he
was associated with the John
C. Campbell Folk School until
his retirement a few years
ago.
1 don't know why the heck
he says that he's retired cause
right now he is planning to go
to Cherokee to teach a wood
working class for several
weeks. Of course, his ideas of
retirement differ a right
smart from mine. Some folks
retire and get busier than
ever - like Herman and Mabel
Estes. Now when 1 retire ..
Herman said. "You know
1 m just a wood butcher." But
I can tell you. he'll kid you.
Cause if you look around in his
home you won't have any diff
iculty in deciding that, in act
uality, he is an aritist ro scu
lptor. Everywhere you look
you 11 see examples - works of
art in wood.
His talents, and Mabel's,
tor she is just as involved as
he is, extend into still another
area. They are both Rock
hounds and their creative ins
tincts have led them to pro
duce many truly beautiful Ob
jects d' Art in rocks.
Their works of art in wood
and rocks have been featured
in exhibits, fairs, and shows
m several Southeastern St
ates. And Herman can beper
t0 appear at Civic
Club functions to talk about
his rocks or his wood crea
tions, if you act genuinely in
terested. 1
Now he and Mabel are all
wound up in yet another under
taking: Amateur Photography.
And they are just as consci
entious about achieving exce
llence in this as they are about
their other endeavors. You've
heard of a few people like
them - who were never happy
with doing anything unless they
could do it like an expert.
And it was through this that
managed to gain access to a
little of his "inside story."
I think it's natural that he
would he interested in history
since he has Dan'l Boone for
an ancestor. He and Mrs.
Estes spend a lot of their re
tirement time visiting famous
historical landmarks, and they
are making color slides of
every one of them.
When he told me of his coll
ection of pictures of Revolut
ionary and Civil War battle
sites 1 asked if I could, bring
Sharon to see them, thinking
you know, that this might help
her in school. The invitation
to "visii anytime" was forth
coming. So, to make sure
that he didn't forget that he'd
invited us, we took him up on
it very promptly.
In discussing his famous
forefather, Herman said,
"When 1 was a hoy I had a lot
of fights when I said anything
about being kin to Daniel
Boone. So, after 1 grew up I
decided to establish the fact,
from records of iny relation
ship to Grandpa Boone."
This decision led him to the
National Archives of History
in Washington, D. C. And with
this help and old family re
cords he has it all down in
easily traceable form.
One of the nicest compli
ments anyone can ever pay a
scribbler is to let him know
you read him. Herman took
time to do that a few days ago.
He had read a funny story in a
newspaper someone had sent
him from West Virginia, and,
he said, "As soon as 1 read
that 1 thought, "Now Cuz's,
just gotta see this, he might
want to write something about
it.' "
But Hertnan Estes, Great,
Great, Great, Great Grandson
of Daniel Boone, 1 think, is a
much much more interesting
story.
Herman loaned me his
scrapbook, told me to use any
part of it that 1 wanted to -
the following is from that scr
apbook:
