Samuel Damron
1793-1889
son of Lazarus Damron & Nancy Elizabeth Short
Samuel came with his father and brothers from Virginia to the Big Sandy area in 1805. They settled near Piketown (Pikeville), Kentucky. He married Sally Ratliff when he was 21 years old and, in 1819, moved from Pike County to his own farm. He returned to Pike County in 1828 and settled on Brushy Fork of John's Creek where he lived until 1834. He then moved back to the left fork of Twelve Pole at the mouth of McComas Creek where he was to live the rest of his life and was to be buried. Samuel had several children with Sarah Smith while he was married to his first wife. It seems that most of them used the name Smith although some of the younger ones seems to have used Damron. He married Sarah Smith in 1866 well after all of their children had been born. During the Civil War, two of his sons, Silas and George W., were in the Army of the Confederacy. Three sons, John B., Samuel and James, were in the Union Army. James died in service. A son-in-law James Maynard was also killed. When Samuel first came to what was later to become Grant District, he moved into a "rock house prepared by the Lord." (Was this a cave?) "His wife was not satisfied with the accommodations and in 1834 he built a cabin." He still in that cabin in 1884. "He was commissioner of revenue two years." At age 87, he was living with his daughter, Mahala, and son-in-law, Thomas Kirk, when the 1880 census was taken. --DDFA Newsletter,v8 p188 (from HARDESTY'S WEST VIRGINIA COUNTIES, volume 7. 1884. Reprint by Jim Comstock, Richwood, WV. 1973. Pages 228-229. Much of the biographical sketch information was from Silas Damron, youngest son of Samuel.)
The following appeared in the Ceredo Advance (WV) 1 April 1896:
Samuel Damron, Sr.
Mr. Editor:--Please insert this brief history in your valuable paper, as it circulates among the relatives and friends of one of the old pioneer fathers of the upper end of Wayne county, to-wit:
Samuel Damron, Sr.
Born May 7, 1794, in New Garden, Russell county, Va., and came down Big Sandy in the year 1808 along with his father, Lasarus Damron and three brothers--Moses, Richard and George--and settled five miles below what is now Piketown. At the age of 21 years, he married Sally, the daughter of Silas Ratcliff, known a "Aunt Fat Sally," and moved from Pike County in the year 1819 and settled at the farm where Samuel J. Ferguson now lives. Then in 1828 moved back in Pike county and settled on Brushy Creek of John's creek; remained there until 1834, when he moved back to the Left Fork of 12 Pole at the mouth of McComas creek and remained there until he was buried there in the year in the year 1889.
His mother was Nancy Short, and his grandmother Aggie Owl. To him and "Aunt Fat Sally" were born ten children, to-wit: Nancy, Betty, Neary, Anna, Milley, Polley, Jennie (all yet living save Nancy and Milley), and three sons, Moses, Silas and George Washington, all alive, and their hair is silvery white by the frosts of many winters. You can scarcely stop at any house in the upper end of Wayne county but you will see a son, grandson, daughter or granddaughter of this time honored old pioneer hunter, or some of his brothers, sons and daughters.
Samuel Damron, esq., who is now living at Cassville, W. Va., and is 84 years of age, was named for the subject of this sketch, and he, too, was born in this (Wayne) county and was never lived out of the county since it was made, for a day.
When this sketch is read by the many gray-haired relatives and friends of the old bear and dear hunter, they will wonder who knew him so well. In answer will say a
