Maternal Grandfather Saved Life, of Gen. Sam Houston in Retreat Here After Fall of Alamo.
How Mrs. Smiths maternal grandfather Ben Demour, saved the life of Gen. Sam Houston after the fall of the Alamo March 6, 1836, was appointed to have charge of the woman and children of Gonzales in what was known as the Run Away Scrape the retreat toward San Jacinto, is recounted in a story in tje Inquirer of well over half a century ago and herewith reproduced.
We of the present generation speak often of Duncan's Hill and to most of us it is just a name. This Hill which was one of the vantage joints from which Indians viewed this entire valley was named after Ben Duncan who lived back there in those early days in a house just to the right of where the San Marcos bridge now stands.
He operated a ferry which has thought to have been near the present Kitts camp.
When Gen. Sam Houston had anticipated the fall of the Alamo he and his men made a precipitated retreat toward Gonzales, crossing the river on Ben Duncan's ferry as the last of the men were ferried across, Houston ordered the ferry sunk.Duncan remonstrated asking that he be given time to get his wife.General Houston answered that "Time waits for no one" and proceeded to sink the boat, leaving Duncan and his family on the other side of the river. Later in the afternoon Duncan succeeded in crossing and he with his family and an adventurer bynthe name of Fall Nash joined the refugees on this side who were then preparing the burning and evacuation of Gonzales.
By a strang trait of fate Duncan saved the life of Gen. Sam Houston. Duncan was placed in charge of the women and children in the run away scrape and was so engaged throughout that long retreat that ended at Dan Jacinto. There on the battlefield, tje battlefield of Dan Jacinto, we are telling you, on May 12, 1836, Mrs. Duncan gave birth to an expected child, a daughter, Amanda, who became the mother of our esteemed fellow citizens, Joe, John and Tom Bouldin and Mesdames A. B. Smith, Dr. William , Stanley and Henry Davis.
