Inscription

The Confederate marker showing Capt. Nathan Boone's middle name as Samuel is incorrect. His middle name was Forrest, his father, 1801-1860, was Nathan Samuel Boone and died before the Civil War started. This information regarding the two Boone's names is verified via US Federal censuses.All of the information on this FAG

My grandfather was Nathan Forrest Boone, born in 1870, and not a Capt in the civil war. His father was Nathan Boone who I assumed gave him the middle name of Forrest.
