Here's another fun fact. Daniel Boone spent as many years living in Missouri than he did in Kentucky.
He's still buried here and not in Kentucky.
When Kentuckians showed up in the 1840s to take his remains back to Kentucky, the local Missourians were not happy about that, telling them the wrong location, a slave cemetery.
Forensics were done on the body in Kentucky in 1983, stating it's the body of a large black man.
Since then, the state of Kentucky has declined DNA testing.

Being my great grandmother is a Boone born on the family farm. I can say with 100% certainty that nobody from Kentucky has ever been at a family gathering. Needless to say the Boones give no fricks about Kentucky. I mean how else can you be the birth family of a state and leave it? Answer, it sucks arse, epic mistake.
