Companions of Daniel Boone before the Revolution and Notorious Bootleggers by the 1920s

I don't think the early fellows of the families in Rowan County would disapprove of the "blockader" descendants--blockader meaning one who circumvents the blockades, the way Rhett Butler did in the Civil War. It was a little surprising to read stories of men of different families of mine violating the federal revenue laws, but it was the laws that were new and newly imposed on them.  I am seeing men of 3 Colonial families being Blockaders. Other families? I'll see.
