While researching online, I found this account on the  “Digital North  Carolina” website where Abraham Thomas shares a story where he and Daniel Boone were scouting companions.


“In the summer of 1780, Gen. Clark was getting up an expedition, with  the object of destroying some Indian villages in the Mad River. One  division of the expedition, under Col. Logan, was to approach the Ohio  by the way of Licking River; the other, to which I was attached,  ascended the Ohio from the falls in boats, with provisions and a six  pound cannon.  The plan of the expedition was for the two divisions to  meet at a point in the Indian country, opposite the mouth of Licking,  and thence march in a body to the interior. 


In descending the Ohio, Daniel Boone and myself acted as spies on the  Kentucky side of the river, and a large party, on the Indian side, was  on the same duty; the latter were surprised by the Indians and several  killed and wounded. It was then a toilsome task to get the boats up the  river, under constant expectation of attacks from the savages, and we  were much rejoiced in making our destination.


Before the boats crossed over to the Indian side Boone and myself  were taken into the foremost boat and landed above a small cut in the  bank, opposite the mouth of Licking. We were desired to spy through the  woods for Indian signs. I was much younger than Boone, ran up the bank  in great glee, and cut into a beech tree with my tomahawk, which I  verily believe was the first tree cut into by a white man on the present  site of Cincinnati.”


While young Thomas celebrated the  opportunity to outrun the well known Daniel Boone to the top of a  riverbank, I like to think that maybe Boone proceeded with a bit more  caution, as they were in hostile Indian territory – and he might not have known who or what was at the top of that bank….

Our line of descent from Germany to present day is as follows:

Colonel John Mann Jr.
