Very cool, yankee hoorah! Do you know if you are also related to Nathan Boone, who was a captain in Forrest's escort? He was related to Daniel Boone - they say all those with the Boone surname are related.

Nathan was a Lusk.. but it's possible.
I'd like to be though, it'd be cool.

Check his mother's maiden name. Sometimes the mother would pass down her name by using it as a middle name.

I checked, Boone was his father's middle name.
I need to check Ancestry,com though.
