The Leatherman she married was Jonas Leatherman who was indeed from Rowan
Co. He came with his daughter, Nancy Wilson and her husband Boone Wilson.
Boone's grandfather John Wilson had received numerous acres in Tn but died
before going. John Jr. also died, but sold much of the land to Jonas
Letherman. Evidently the party who moved to Boonshill (after Boone Wilson)
was large...several children and grandchildren of John Boone...nephew of
Squire, moved to Tn, including Wilsons, Frosts and the Reed relatives of
Martha.
