Biography
Darexa was born in 1771. She passed away in 1858.
Notes
There is some confusion regarding her name: she is recorded in her grandson's (Rev. Franklin Lafayette Knight) family bible as DAREXA, but referred to in her daughter's (Juana McCartee Knight) as DARAXA. Other (public) sources use other spelliings, including Daraxia.
The photo of her headstone at findagrave.com says DARAXA.
