Individual note: BIO: In the spring of 1821, Henry and Nancy, inspired by the adventures of a neighbor, Daniel Boone, started on the long trek to Tennessee and Kentucky. They stopped off at the water gap, known now as Damascus. This was a small settlement in the wilderness. It was at the confluence of Beaverdam Creek and the Laurel Fork of the Holston, two beautiful rivers. The country was very heavily wooded and the proximity to the rivers so impressed him that he decided to go no farther. He bought land and built a log home west of the village. In 1823, he bought 154 acres that is now the main part of town. For 63 years he owned a good part of the town. In the early records is a court order for 12 men to view the land of Henry Mock on both sides of Laurel Ford of the Holston River, before building a dam and erecting a water powered grist mill. He was granted the right to build both. Later he added a saw mill. At first, the town was known as Mock's Mill. In 1886, when Henry sold most of his land, it was renamed Damascus for the Bibical town where two rivers meet. In politics he was a conservative, voting republican, although in later years his son, Peter, died in the confederacy. In his early life he was a Lutheran and was baptized in the Heidelburg Lutheran Church in Rowan County, NC. After coming to VA, he united with the Mathodists at Wright's Chapel in Damascus. Damascus was a gap in the mountains through which travelers passed going west. His home was often a stopping place for them. Also, his brother, Peter, had an inn in the immediate area. Cumberland Gap was a short distance away toward Tennessee. He had three wives and thirty children. (two wives and his children are not available in this report). Many of his descendents still live in the area. He is buried in the Mock Cemetery there as is his brother, Peter. Col. J. D. Imboden, one of the first citizens of Damascus, at Henry's death wrote the following for the "Abingdon Virginian". "He was born in Surry County, NC. He migrated to this area when he was 27 years old. This area was then an almost impenetrable jungle, the bottom land along the rivers was just as Daniel Boone found it in 1759 on his first trip west. It was a dense forest of enormous hemlock, popular and whie oak trees, cutting all sunshine from the ground that was naturally wet from the numerous springs whose waters were dammed up by fallen timber, roots, rocks, and leaves. The Laurel and Rhododendron were so thick that a dog could barely penetrate the jungle. Mr. Mock was struck by the natural beauty and future advantages of the locality and decided to locate here. He built a dam across the Laurel and put up a grist mill and a saw mill on its banks; then tackled the forest and jungle around them. His first wife died leaving him a family of small children. He married another good woman and his family continued to increase until she died. He married again a wife who survives him after bearing him nine more children. He reared a highly respectable family and not a scurvy sheep in the flock. He had a sense of humor and once when asked about his family remarked that his wife knew all their names. The children married and had families until now it is said that most everyone in Damascus is related. .....The story continues with all the things that happened in his lifetime. He lived under every president from Washington to...... Napoleon was only 25 when Henry was born Our western land belonged to other countries; France, England and Spain When he was 13, the steamboat was invented ....War of 1812...Louisiana Purchase...Aaron Burr tried for Treason... Mexican War...First steamer crossing of the Atlantic...Locomotive invented...Civil War...matches were invented...Louis and Clark expedition...telegraph invented...etc., etc."
