WAS JAMES HAWORTH'S DAUGHTER, JEMIMA,

ON BOONE'S FAILED 1773 EXPEDITION?

 "Fair America" states that James' "young daughter" Jemima was on this expedition. I consider it as possible, but unproven.

·       Jemima Haworth Wright seems to have made the same moves as her brothers even after her marriage.

·       If Jemima was on the expedition, however, it was as a 28-year old married woman with children, not as a child.

 

Note that the account in Chapter VI about Jemima and her children and the account in Chapter VIII about Jemima's grandson appear to be accurate.
