Is it true that Jemima Boone was not Daniel Boone's real daughter?

Well, not sure about that one, whom and were did you run across this information and was it documented? Which brother of Daniel are they claiming? as far as I know Jemima Boone IS the daughter of Daniel and Rebecca, most documents and stories seem to support this as well, I'm also related to the Boone's tell me where you found this and together we might be able to figure this one out I will keep searching. I do know that Daniel and Edward Boone seemed to have somewhat of a small feud between each other but it was put aside as the family moved into Kentucky b/c they knew it was better to protect each others families then to fight with one another. Also Jemima Boone-Callaway named her last son Daniel Boone Callaway so why would she do that if she wasn't the daughter of Daniel Boone?

Edit: Just ran across this on Boone family forum, Nathan Boone seems to indicate what your saying but I think proving it will be something, as Ted Pack said DNA would not prove as Edward Boone and Daniel Boone are brothers, when Becky says "Neddy" she is refering to Edward Boone, Daniel brother who was killed in Kentucky he is one of my connections to the Boone's don't know if its true or not, best bet is to find the "My Father, Daniel Boone, The Draper Interviews with Nathan Boone," Neal O. Hammon, 1999. Since it would appear that Nathan Boone was stating Jemima's Boones father as Edward "Neddy" Boone

here is what I found you might contact the person who submitted it and see what they have by way of documentation etc...

RE:

My mother can trace her line back to Flanders Callaway and Jemima Boone, daughter of Daniel Boone, which I always thought was incredibly cool. But I've recently heard that Jemima was not actually the real daughter of Daniel Boone. I heard that one time when Daniel Boone was gone for nearly...

Unfortunately, no. The linkages between males are determined by the Y chromosome. A daughter will not carry the Y chromosome, so there's no way a match can be made based simply in the lineage. She could be proven to be her mother's daughter through mitochondrial DNA, which is passed from mother to daughter, but that wouldn't establish a link to her father. If she had a brother, then his DNA could be compared to his father (or his father's brothers and the descendants of the brothers, if any), and his mitochondrial DNA could be compared to his mother's to establish the mother's identity, but without a Y chromosome, only a woman's maternal line can be reliably established.

All I want to know is, on the t.v. show,Jemima sudenly stopped showing up and non of the boones ever mentioned they even had a daughter in any more episodes. So anyone know what happened? Also Isreal was older than Jemima so why was he younger on the show?

The following information may only state whether or not she is truly a BOONE. If they have DNA from KNOWN* Daniel Boone descendants, they may compare it to known Boone DNA Project participants. Many surnames have DNA Projects which validate their ancestry. The projects are typically referred to by the surname, eg, Smith DNA Project; Jones DNA Project; Parker DNA Project. *Known is defined as DNA from a pool of verified Daniel Boone descendants. I am a volunteer state Co-coordinator for The USGenWeb Project.

Nobody knows, and even DNA would not tell.

The Boone surname page at GenForum has lots of discussion on the topic. This one is particularly germane:

I heard that one of the children was by his brother. It is said that he made the statement "It's still a Boone." Rebecca supposedly got pregnant while he was away.

Yes she is because if she didn't have the same last name she wouldn't be his daughter but she has the same last so she is technically his daughter
