Notes for AARON II BURLESON:

Aaron II served as a Minute Man in the Revolutionary War. He probably served with Isaac Burleson who was the nephew of Aaron. Aaron II was also an intimate friend of " The" Daniel Boone. After the Revolutionary War, Aaron II decided to join Daniel Boone in Kentucky. Aaron II died in the Blue Ridge Mountains in 1782. He was killed by Indians on either Cane Creek, N.C. or on the Clinch River in TN. Which some say he was on his way to meet up with his friend Daniel Boone. He left a will dated November 16, 1781. The will was probated in Washington Co., N.C. which is now Tenn. On May 27th, 1782. In his will he left all his personal estate to his wife and his thirteen children.

Birth: May 28, 1712 County Durham, England Death: Dec. 2, 1782 Sullivan County Tennessee, USA

There is also another birthdate for Aaron which is 1722.

Aaron was the first Burleson in the South to Virginia.

Aaron John Burleson was a close friend of Daniel Boone per North Carolina historians claiming friendship with Daniel Boone. This friendship is in dispute.

There seems to be quite a bit of confusion to this Burleson line. Many contradictions. Everyone has their theory. Who knows which is correct.

He married Rachel Hendricks born ca 1730 and died ca 1783 in Rutherford, County, NC (Rachel's maiden name has not been verified?).

They had 13 children. Per Aaron's will dated May of 1782 in Sullivan County, NC. Children are: John, Joseph married Nancy Gage, Jonathon, Elizabeth, Thomas, Sarah, Aaron, Rachel, Nancy, Abigail married Reuben Gage, Mary, Rhoda and James who married his cousin Elizabeth Shipman.

He served as a minute man in the Rev. War.

In 1782 Aaron left to visit his good friend, Daniel Boone(who lived a few days walk from the Burleson home) who lived in Kentucky. Aaron was ambushed and killed by Cherokee Indians while crossing the Clinch (Clynch) River per Tenn. historians. Aaron had many arrows in him and he had been scalped. There are disputes as to the exact year he died. N.C. historians claim Aaron was killed by Cherokee Indians while on the Cane Creek while with Daniel Boone.

The picture to the right is of Robert Mitchell Burleson (1851 - 1894) per office manager of the Avery County Historical Museum in Newland, N.C. Robert Mitchell is the great-great grandson of Aaron Burleson who was born in 1712.
