Notes for Lorena Darst
901The following letter written by Lorena Darst Damon gives some important facts about the Tabitha Callaway-Abraham Darst family: Columbus, Texas, October 18, 1883
Daniel Boone's daughter, Gemima Callaway, was my grandmother. She was captured by the Indians and recaptured by General Boone after a bloody conflict. My Mother's maiden name was Tabithy Callaway, afterwards married Abraham Darst. He was a German descent from Kentucky; his father, David Darst, was a German from Pennsylvania.
My father, Abraham Darst, had five children by his first wife - Tabithy Callaway. Their names to wit: Lorena Darst, (afterwards Lorena Damon) Emory Darst, Edmund Callaway Darst, Patrick Ewing Darst and John Grubs Darst - This was my mother's family.
My Father afterwards married Gemima Brownfield in Fayette County, Illinois. My Father left his children in Missouri until his return with his wife, where he then lived about nine or ten years, then emigrated to Texas, to what is known as Damons Mound in Fort Bend County, in September 22, 1829. He had in the mean time raised a family by his second marriage, the names of which I give: Richard Brownfield Darst, Jesse Homan Darst, Abraham Darst, JR., Iramentha Darst and Rosetta Darst. All of whom lived to be grown and finally died. Also my Mother's family are all dead, except myself, and all leaving large families. My father, Abraham Darst, died during Christmas, 1833, on the Mound in Fort Bend County, afterwards changed to Brazoria County.
I was married to Samuel Damon at the Mound in the year 1834, Sept. 18th. I have a family of four boys and two girls: Daniel Boone Damon, Sylvester W. Damon, Warren Damon, Samuel Damon Jr., Annie Elizabeth Gallaher, Lorena Perkins. My husband is also dad, after having been happily married forty-nine years.
I was born in St. Charles County, Missouri, May 1st 1811, and am now seventy-two years of age. My husband was born in Maine Jan. 22, 1808.
I will further say--I was with Grand-dady Boone up to his death, though I was quite small. I remember him well as he often took us children out, and he would take his seat in the woods while we played around him and enjoyed ourselves. I remember when he was buried, and the same wagon that carried him to the grave hauled us to Texas."
