"Bluegrass Roots," published by the Kentucky Genealogical Society, reprinted an article by H. Thomas Tudor about the "Early Settlers of Fort Boonesborough." The article was published in Volume 5, No. 1, p. 1-14. The bibliography was published in a later issue. The references are reproduced here. I DO NOT know where to obtain these references.
I typed and sent this list to several internet listservers in 1994; I notice that it is being used at several websites [which is OK].
Please read the following regarding those settlers "killed:"
"Looking at your list of Boonesborough settlers - I see the list which was taken from the back of an early petition from Ky to the Va. legislature. I have seen a copy of the original petition, and someone has confused the list which designated persons "taken" vs. persons "killed." These names appear in two columns on the back of the petition. In pioneer use, "taken" meant captured and someone has not taken that into account. The list has people killed who were alive and well (and suing each other) decades later. Just looking at the C's: Jesse Coker (Jesse Cofer/Copher) was one of Daniel Boone's saltmakers who was captured in 1778 and returned to Kentucky. There are many, many more persons listed as "killed" who were not. .." from Anne Crabb, Pioneer Kentucky and Fort Boonesborough researcher, Draper Manuscripts researcher
