About Olive Boone
From notes of Rev James Gilruth - Printed in the Irontown Ohio register: In P. VanBibber's family lived a niece of his named Olive VanBibber, a beautiful young woman who married Nathan Boone, the youngest son of the celebrated Col. Daniel Boone, and moved to Mo. with Daniel and Nathan
- -------------------- Marriage: Nathan Boone b: 2 MAR 1781 in Boones Station, Fayette Co., Kentucky
- Married: 26 SEP 1799 in Little Sandy, Kentucky
- Note: marr. near present day Greenup, Ky. Nathan was married to Olive Van Bibber (daughter of Peter VAN BIBER and Margary BOUNDS) on Sep 26 1799 in Greenbriar Co., KY. Olive VAN BIBBER was born in 1783 in Greenbriar Co., KY. She died on Nov 12 1858 in Missouri.
Son of Daniel Boone, Nathan looked after Daniel in his golden years. He married Olive Van Bibber as they joined Daniel in opening up Missouri after Kentucky had "become too crowed".
Nathan and Olive settled in the St. Charles, MO area until after the death of Daniel. After posting bond for a local politician who skipped town, Nathan joined the army based on financial need. Nathan was posted in Iowa, Kansas, and the New Indian Territory, later called Oklahoma. He moved his family to the Ashgrove, Missouri area just outside Springfield to be closer to his post.

OLIVE VAN BIBBER – “A PERILOUS TRIP”
“After the death of my father, Peter Van Bibber, my mother and I lived with my brother in Ohio, on the Ohio River, opposite the mouth of the Big Sandy River. I was married on the 26th. Of September 1799.
On the first of October, without any company but my husband, I started to Missouri or Upper Louisiana. We had two ponies and our packhorse. After being on our journey for some time we were overtaken by a man and a woman who travelled with us to Vincennes. We remained there nearly three weeks in consequence of getting one of our ponies crippled. We travelled along the remainder of the way, arriving in St. Louis the last of October. My husband was offered eighty acres of land, (in the center of what was afterwards the city) for one of our ponies. He laughed and said he would not give one of the ponies for the whole town.
We went to St. Charles County, and located about twenty miles above St. Charles. We crossed the Missouri River at St. Charles by placing our goods in a skiff. My husband rowed and I steered and held the horse by the bridle. It was rather a perilous trip for so young a couple.
I was just sixteen, my husband eighteen.”
OLIVE VAN BIBBER - (wife of Nathan Boone)
Imagine what an adventure these two teenagers had. They travelled a distance of well over 400 miles to get from Limestone (now Maysville), Kentucky (where they were married) to their land near what is today, Defiance, Missouri. They built a lasting relationship that would span 57 years and only ended when Nathan Boone died in 1856.
