| Notes |
- The History of Van Zandt County tells us that "...Gassoway's family who remained in Missouri, were having a rough time contending with the bushwhackers who stole or destroyed everything they could gain on the farm. While some of these harrowing tales are interesting to hear, they did not make life in Missouri safe or satisfactory. Gassoway's son, Robert Wilson Darby (1832 - Miss), after his return from the Confederate Army, in 1868 led a party of twelve some six hundred miles to join his father in Van Zandt County. With two teams of horses and one ox team and covered wagons, they forded streams, rivers, and followed the long, dusty trails of the day. Robert's wife was Catherine A. Bottom (1834- Tenn). Mrs. Sarah Bottom, Catherine's mother, except for brief periods when she drove the yoke of the oxen, covered the entire distance on foot. (An early jogger!) Robert's son, John Wilson Darby (1856) was twelve years old when the trip was made. They bought and settled on part of Gassoway's land, south of what is now the T. and P. Railroad and Highway 80."
