St. Charles (Mo.) & the War of 1812: A Boone Connection
From the World of Hannah Chribbs Evans blog.
The St. Charles militia was commanded by Nathan Boone. They were replaced by a company of U.S. Mounted Rangers.
By 1813 that company was led by Captain Daniel Morgan Boone and Lt. James Callaway. The two Boones were the sons of famous frontiersman Daniel Boone, who was then living at Femme Osage Creek, twenty miles southwest of St. Charles.
Lt. Callaway was the son of Flanders and Jemima Boone Callaway, and the grandson of Daniel Boone.
