Abstract:

Traveling back to days of Daniel Boone can be arranged by visiting the Calloway Cemetery on Highway 163, in Ashe County. Here, Boone left a stone marked ‘T.C' on the grave of his friend Thomas Calloway, who died in 1800. Boone had given the stone to Calloway several years before his death. Other cemetery markers date back to the 1700s on what used to be the Calloway plantation.
