Biography

William Scholl was a native of the Shennandoah Valley of Virginia, and moved with his wife and family of ten children to Kentucky in the fall of 1779, and arrived at Boonesborough on December 25, where they met Daniel Boone, who was there attending the court held for the purpose of adjusting disputed titles to the Kentucky lands. On the same day the Scholls, accompanied by Daniel Boone, passed over the river and camped about four miles from Boonesborough, and the following day reached Boone's Station, where they erected half-faced camps made of boards and forked sticks, and they lived in these until March, when the snow melted, and they then erected cabins and a stockade with port holes, but they were never attacked by the Indians. This was during the hard winter of 1779 and '80 and the Scholls and Boones ate their last bread on Christmas day, 1779, and were therefore without this article of food until the following summer, when their crop of corn matured.

After a time, William Scholl established his home in what was then Fayette County, on Marble creek, near William Hays, a son-in-law of Daniel Boone, and close to where Daniel made his home after he lost the land upon which he built his station.
