George Darling of Lynn/Marblehead, who married Kate 1655/56, is generally considered to be a Scot prisoner from the Battle of Dunbar sent to New England on the ship Unity in November 1650.

There were two battles between English and Scottish forces that resulted in prisoners being sent to New England. The definitive work on the Scot prisoners sent to New England is that of Charles Edward Banks referenced in a previous reply to your query. The first battle was at Dunbar, Scotland, and the Scots were badly beaten. Of the about 5000 prisoners taken, 150 were sent to New England on the Unity. There is no list of those prisoners, so other means need to be used to identify them.

The second battle occurred at Worcester in England a year later and the Scots lost again. Of the prisoners captured in the Battle of Worcester, about 300 were selected to be sent to New England. Exactly how many were sent is not recorded, but there is a list of 261 that arrived. The ship they came on is the John and Sarah mentioned in the previous reply. George Darling is not on that list.

The disposition of all these prisoners is not completely documented. It is known, however, that about 60 from the Unity (Dunbar captives) were assigned to work at the Lynn Iron Works. The Iron Works became bankrupt about 1653 and the identity of some of the prisoners results from subsequent litigation. Several lists of the Scottish prisoners were generated during this litigation and George Darling's name is on those lists. Since he was not on the list of prisoners on the John and Sararh, we assume he was on the Unity and therefore was from the Battle of Dunbar.

But was he the George Darling born in 1614? That would be difficult to prove. The Battle of Dunbar occurred 36 years later and we would need to show he was the right age and no other George Darling was born in Scotland that would qualify. There are two depositions George made late in life where he gave his age. On 16 May 1670 he said he was 50. But on 26 Sep 1681 he said he was 66. So his birthday is generally considered to be either 1615 or 1620. This would make the 1614 birth a possibility, but would require additional evidence. http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/darling/935/

___________________________________

George Darling of Marblehead, Lynn and Salem Massachusetts

George Darling was born between the years of 1615 and 1620 most likely in the Midlothian region of Scotland. Some researchers have attempted to attach his parentage to George Darling and Isabell Muckle, however I have not been able to find any evidence of that as of yet.

George was captured at the Battle of Dunbar Scotland by Oliver Cromwells troops in September of 1650. After the battle George and tens of thousands of other Scots were taken to Durham Castle and then sent to London, England for trial. Many of the Scots did not survive the conditions at Durham Castle nor the march to London. Even fewer survived the trip to the new colonies. After being pronounced guilty at his ’trial’, George was indentured to John Bex(Beax) and Company and sent as an indentured servant to the Lynn Ironworks in Lynn Mass for an 8 year term of servitude. The Iron Works is now largely referred to as the Saugus Iron Works and is presently located in Saugus Massachusetts. Historically it was also referred to as the Iron Works at Hammersmith.

On November 11, 1650 George Darling and some 150 other Scotsmen sailed across the Atlantic ocean aboard the ship Unity to the new Colonies. They arrived in Boston in December of 1650. 62 of these men went to work as woodcuters in the forests near the Iron Works. Others stayed in Boston, some went to Maine and others sent south. One wonders, given his age at the time of between 30 and 35 if George didn't leave an entire family back in Scotland? Did he have a wife and children in the Midlothians? We'll probably never know for sure, we do know the families of the captured Scots never knew exactly what happened to them. They were not informed if their sons and husbands had been captured, died at Durham Castle or on the march back to London. Never told their loved ones had been shipped an entire world away.

Some time around 1657 George married a woman by the given name of Katherine and they were married until his death in 1693. The exact date of his death is uncertain. We know his estate was inventories on September 13, 1693 and the will probated October 9, 1693. It is believed his " Good Wife" Katherine died some time after 1703. George took The Freeman Oath. In 1672 George purchased two plots of land refered to as the Coy Pond property in Lynn/Salem/Essex/Ma and became the owner of a tavern and inn on that property. Before this time, or possibly during, he was also a farmer and a yeoman. George also fished and cut wood. One of their sons, James Darling, gave testimony against Mary Towne Esty during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Mary Towne's brother Jacob Towne is my direct ancestor. You can download James Darling's original written testimony here two .JPG parts. Testimony Signature. James Darling was married to Hannah Lewis Maine. She was the aunt of Mercy Lewis, one of the 'afflicted girls' of the Witch Hysteria. It is believed but not proven that after her death James married Sarah Proctor, daughter of John and Elizabeth Proctor. John Proctor was hung during the trials. His wife, Elizabeth, escaped hanging because she was pregnant, by the time she delivered the hysteria was over.

Scottish line I have George Darling, born 1614 in the village of Lasswade, Midlothian, Scotland. He fought in the Battle of Dunbar in the Third Civil War in Scotland. Oliver Cromwell’s forces defeated the Scots and took 10,000 Scots prisoner. They marched them south, some one hundred and eleven miles to the Durham Cathedral in England. Not surprisingly many were lost along the way, being driven on the arduous hike with almost no food or rest. As testament to the harshness these men endured, less than a third survived. By the time they arrived at their “prison”, a mere 3000 were left alive. These Scottish soldiers burned the woodwork in the cathedral to stay warm. Suffering from the cold, malnutrition, and disease, by the end of October 1651, only 1400 prisoners remained alive; eighty-six hundred dead men of the original 10,000 in custody. Those that lived through all this were shipped over to the colonies to serve as indentured servants. George Darling was indentured at the Lynn, Massachusetts Ironworks for a term of 8 years. In the Durham Cathedral, marks left by these prisoners can still be seen etched into the interior stone to this day.

George Darling of Lynn/Marblehead, who married Kate 1655/56, is generally considered to be a Scot prisoner from the Battle of Dunbar sent to New England on the ship Unity in November 1650.

There were two battles between English and Scottish forces that resulted in prisoners being sent to New England. The definitive work on the Scot prisoners sent to New England is that of Charles Edward Banks referenced in a previous reply to your query. The first battle was at Dunbar, Scotland, and the Scots were badly beaten. Of the about 5000 prisoners taken, 150 were sent to New England on the Unity. There is no list of those prisoners, so other means need to be used to identify them.

The second battle occurred at Worcester in England a year later and the Scots lost again. Of the prisoners captured in the Battle of Worcester, about 300 were selected to be sent to New England. Exactly how many were sent is not recorded, but there is a list of 261 that arrived. The ship they came on is the John and Sarah mentioned in the previous reply. George Darling is not on that list.

The disposition of all these prisoners is not completely documented. It is known, however, that about 60 from the Unity (Dunbar captives) were assigned to work at the Lynn Iron Works. The Iron Works became bankrupt about 1653 and the identity of some of the prisoners results from subsequent litigation. Several lists of the Scottish prisoners were generated during this litigation and George Darling's name is on those lists. Since he was not on the list of prisoners on the John and Sararh, we assume he was on the Unity and therefore was from the Battle of Dunbar.

But was he the George Darling born in 1614? That would be difficult to prove. The Battle of Dunbar occurred 36 years later and we would need to show he was the right age and no other George Darling was born in Scotland that would qualify. There are two depositions George made late in life where he gave his age. On 16 May 1670 he said he was 50. But on 26 Sep 1681 he said he was 66. So his birthday is generally considered to be either 1615 or 1620. This would make the 1614 birth a possibility, but would require additional evidence.

______________________________________

As a family name Darling — or Dearling, as the form sometimes was, — was bestowed upon or assumed by, persons who were of engaging personality, of fine physique, handsome or of courtly manners. According to the old records the family was in England as early as the year 1200 and some of its members were anciently cup-bearers to the king. The American pioneers were of this English stock but the connection with English progenitors has not yet been established.

Two branches of the family in England were armor-bearing. One had a grant as follows:

Arms. — Per fesse crenelle azure and gules, in chief a lion passant argent, and in base two fal- chions in saltire, blades argent, hilt and pommels or; on a canton ermine, a mural crown or, sus- pended therefrom by a ribbon gules, edged azure, the Corunna medal or.

Crest. — Out of a mural crown or, a dexter arm embowed in armor proper, sustaining an ines-

cutcheon gules, thereon two faulchions in saltire as in the arms, encircled by the ribbon and medal of Corunna.

Darling of London had the following:

Arms. — Azure guttee d'or, on a fesse of the last three crosses crosslet fitchee gules.

Crest. — A female figure proper habited in a loose robe azure, holding in the dexter hand a cross crosslet fitchee gules, in the sinister a book proper.

THE FIRST AMERICAN DARLINGS

In the early records — Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine — the name Darling is spelled in several different ways: Darland, Der- land, Dearland, Dealing, Durland, Darlen, Durlen, Darling and Darlyn. Wills are found, dating be- fore 1718, in the probate courts of Suffolk and Middlesex counties of Massachusetts.

Pioneers of the Darling name were John of Salem, Mass., and Maine; George of Salem; Sam- uel of New Haven, Conn. ; Richard of Huntington, L. I.; Dennis of Braintree and Mendon, Mass.; John of Braintree and Mendon. Some of these were undoubtedly connected but the relationship has not in every instance been certainly discov- ered. There were several other Darlings early in New England but their descendants have not been numerous. Nearly all the Darlings in the United

CABLING FAMILY

States have been derived from some one of the pioneers above named.

DENNIS DARLING of Braintree. Mass.

[From the manuscript of Carlos Parsons Darling*]

I.

Dennis Darling, or Denice Darley or Darlin, first appears in Braintree, Mass., where he was married by Peter Brackett, justice of the peace, November 3, 1662, to Hannah Francis. Nothing definite is known concerning the parentage of Hannah Francis, although it is held by some that she was a daughter of John and Eosa Francis who were in Braintree at that time. Braintree Vital Records give the following children born there to Dennis and Hannah Darling:

1. Cornelius Darling, born January 4, 1663, died March 11, 1663.

2. John Darling, bom in July, 1664.

3. A son, born June 18, 1667, died June 19, 1667.

4. Sarah Darling, born November 26, 1669.

5. Cornelius Darling, bom January 25, 1675.

6. Hannah Darling, born April 14, 1677.

  • Carlos Parsons Darling of Lawrenceville, Tioga county, Penn., is at work upon a genealogy of the Darling and allied families, to be published in book form. He has a mass of in- formation on hand, furnished by different members of the family residing in the United States and Europe, but there is still much to be secured before the interesting story can be told in its entirety, that the book may have the family record and history of every Darling, and descendant of a Darling. He asks that all members of the family shall send him their family history and record. He also asks for newspaper clippings referring to births, deaths and family gatherings which, if the sender wishes, will be returned after using.

6 DARLING FAMILY

Sometime during the years 1677-78, Dennis Darling and his family moved to Mendon, Mass., where he died January 25, 1717, aged 77 years. No trace has been found of the death of his wife Hannah. The Mendon Vital Records give the fol- lowing children bom in that town to Dennis and Hannah Darling:

7. Ebenezer Darling, bom January 8, 1679.

8. Daniel Darling, born April 28, 1682.

9. Elizabeth DarUng, born July 2, 1685.

10. Benjamin Darling, born February 11, 1687.

II.

Captain John Darling, bom in July 1664, mar- ried first, Elizabeth Thompson, second, Anne Eockwood and, third, Elizabeth Morse. He had one child by his first wife, one by his second wife, and eleven by his third wife. He died May 29, 1753.

Nothing further is known of Sarah Darling, born November 26, 1669.

Cornelius Darling, born January 25, 1675, mar- ried Mary Frebray and had several children, born in Mendon and Rehoboth, Mass.

Hannah Darling, born April 14, 1677, is still unaccounted for.

Ebenezer Darling, born January 8, 1679, mar- ried, March 3, 1698, Mary (Wheaton) Mann, widow of Thomas Mann, but evidently left no children.

Daniel Darling, bom April 23, 1782, married

DARLING FAMILY 7

Lydia and had eight children. He died

February 26, 1745 in Mendon, Mass.

Elizabeth Darling, bom July 2, 1685, married in Mendon, Mass., January 8, 1708-9, Obadiah Wheelock.

Benjamin Darling, ** gentleman" of Mendon, the youngest child of Dennis and Hannah (Francis) Darling, was born in Mendon February 11, 1687. He accumulated considerable property and was prominent in the locality. He lived on a farm of his own, consisting of a large tract of land situated in what is now the town of Black- stone, Mass., on the North Koad, about three miles east of Millville, Mass., and now known as the Blackstone Poor Farm.

Benjamin Darling married, in Mendon, June 11, 1708, Mehitable White, born in Mendon, January 22, 1689, daughter of Thomas and Mehitable (Thornton?) White of Mendon, granddaughter of the first Thomas White who settled in Weymouth, Mass., in 1637. Thomas White, the father of Mehitable, was one of the early settlers and larg- est landowners of Milford, Mass. Mehitable (White) Darling must have died sometime after 1730, and probably was buried in the Chestnut Hill cemetery where her husband was afterward buried. She was the mother of eleven children.

Benjamin Darling married, second, in Mendon, April 17, 1760, Susanna (Benson-Thayer) White, widow of Aaron White, formerly widow of

8 DARLING FAMILY

Thayer, and daughter of Benoni Benson by his first wife. Benjamin Darling by this marriage had one child, a daughter.

Benjamin Darling made his will November 28, 1770, mentioning his wife Susana, his sons, Ben- jamin, Joseph, Ebenezer, Peter, and Thomas ; the heirs of his son Samuel deceased ; and his daugh- ters, Deborah Wheelock, Hannah Battles, Abigail Inman, Elizabeth Meadberry, and Anna Darling. His will was offered for probate May 22, 1772. He died, May 18, 1772, in Mendon and was buried in the old cemetery at Chestnut Hill, in Black- stone. The tombstone which marks his grave has been broken and re-set, and only shows date of his death. There is a space for two graves, evi- dently of his two wives, between his grave and that of his son Thomas Darling. The date of the death of his first wife, Mehitable, and the date of both birth and death of his second wife, Susana, have not been obtained.

Susana, second wife of Benjamin Darling, had previously married, December 25, 1739, Aaron White, born in Mendon, May 22, 1717, son of Joseph and Prudence (Smith) White. Aaron and Susana (Benson-Thayer) White had three children, Aaron White, Jr., Sylvia White, who married Seva Pond, and Prudence White, who married in Mendon, December 25, 1760, Stephen Darling, born in Mendon, August 21, 1738, son of Joseph and Mary (Fish) Darling, and grand-

DAKLING FAMILY 9

son of Benjamin and Mehitable (White) Darling. This Stephen and Prudence (White) Darling moved to Richmond, N. H., and were parents of several children, among whom were Chloe Dar- ling, born May 10, 1769, who married, November 30, 1786, Luke Scott, and Lucy Darling, born August 5, 1773, who married Charles Carpenter; both these families were early settlers of Deer- field township, Tioga county, Penn. This Ste- phen Darling's first wife Prudence died in Richmond, N. H., April 12, 1799, and he married there, second, December 25, 1799, Elizabeth Scott. Following is a record of the children of Ben- jamin Darling and his two wives, as found in the Mendon Vital Records:

1. Mehitable Darling, bom November 10, 1709. She probably died unmarried as she is not men- tioned in her father's will of 1770.

2. Deborah Darling, born April 22, 1711; married, March 20, 1732, Daniel Wheelock of Uxbridge, Mass.

3. Benjamin Darling, born March 15, 1714; married in Smithfield, R. I., July 28, 1733, Eliza- beth Force.

4. Joseph Darling, born April 14, 1716; mar- ried in Smithfield, R. I., January 6, 1733, Mary Fish. He was executor of his father's will.

5. Ebenezer Darling, born August 25, 1718; married in Smithfield, R. I., February 25, 1745, Mary Hakes.

10 DARLING FAMILY

6. Peter Darling, bom June 12, 1720; married first, April 20, 1749, in Mendon, Priscilla Cook; married second, June 12, 1762, in Mendon, Anne Cook.

10. Elizabeth Darling, born April 11, 1729; married in Mendon, December 8, 1748, Benjamin Meadberry of Smithfield, R. I.

11. Thomas Darling, born May 7, 1730; mar- ried, December 4, 1749, Rachel White.

12. Anna Darling, child by second wife, born June 22, 1761; married in Mendon, September 6, 1779, Benjamin Carvell. She is mentioned in her father's will of 1770 and was a minor at that time.

JOHN DARLING of Mass. and Maine

Investigation into the history of John — some- times recorded as John Dollen of Salem, Mass. and Monhegan island, Maine, has been persist- ently made in recent years by many persons, particularly Charlotte H. Abbott of Andover, Mass., whose conclusions have been adopted in the following sketch.

DARLING FAMILY 11

John Darling was of the militia of Devonshire under Lieutenant Thomas Gardner of Pemaquid ; John Dolling was a sergeant of Monhegan, 1674-8, under Thomas Gerrish, leader of the militia. Later he paid a rent to the Duke of York govern- ment, recorded at Salem, for privileges; but so early as 1672, probably, he was at a fishing station either on Monhegan or at Pemaquid. He was usually called a mariner and married Mary (Bishop) Barney, daughter of Richard and Dul- cibella Bishop of Salem, after the death of her first husband, John Barney. In 1679 he was assisting Thomas Bishop (2), his brother-in-law, in the settlement of the Bishop estate. In 1681 Mary Bishop (Barney) Darling, often called Sister Dollen, had children baptized in Salem church, so they appear to have become of per- manent residence there about that date, while John still held his rights on Monhegan. He seems to have purchased land in the neighbor- hood of Bristol, Maine, in 1677 — perhaps near Round pond, on Muscongus river. When the family came to Salem he lived awhile in the town and then took a farm in the Danvers part of Danvenport's plantation.

John Darling appears frequently in the records of his time. In 1672 we find a petition of John Dollen of Monhegan. He was a justice of the peace in Pemaquid. York Deeds" contain an allusion to lots held by John Dollen and John

12 DARLING FAMILY

Palmer at Demaris Cove in a sale, 1686. In Salem is recorded his renewed lease of land on Monhegan the same year, used for planting "where he now dwelleth with a house, warehouse and barn, or- chard, etc., for a yearly rent of a bushel of wheat." The Maine Historical Recorder gives a paper dated August 7, 1717, of Hannah Mander of Bos- ton, widow of James, formerly of Boston, to her nephew Richard Welch, of a tract on Monhegan which formerly belonged to a first husband, Renold Kelly, "adjoining the land of her hon- ored father, Mr. John Dollin."

In the "Book of Eastern Claims" held in the archives room of the Boston state house is a record of the rights of John Dollen, sometime of Monhegan now resident in Salem on land once held by Thomas Webber, late of Kennebec, now resident of Charlestown on the Kennebec near Arrowstick island; secured to Dollen 's heirs and refers to a date of 1677. Another paper, 1715, refers to the Eound Point parcel^ sold by John Eldridge to John Dollen of Monhegan, fisher- man, August, 1699.

John Dollen, alias Darling, died before 1713, when his son Thomas (2) brought in an inven- tory which however gave no clue to his estate. Before his death his wife, Mary Bishop, had died upon the Danvers farm, and he married second, in 1709, Bethia Meacham, widow of Oeorge Hacker, of Danvers, and she was still

DAKLING FAMILY 13

living in 1717. Thomas Darling (2) sold the farm in 1734 and left for Framingham, Mass. He married Sarah Buxton and his history is well recorded in Middlesex county, Mass.

John Darling (2) was probably, by the best ac- counts, the son baptized by Sister Dolling in Salem, a babe in 1681. He married Lois Gow- ing of Lynnfield in 1722, lived in Westford, a carpenter in 1740 and in 1741 removed to Lunen- burg, Mass., where he died about 1769, aged 88. Concerning his whereabouts between 1699 and 1709 there is only speculation. Perhaps he was with his father on the island as a trader and fisherman and it has been suggested that he may have taken over the fisherman's share of old Dolling 's venture, leaving Thomas the farm in Danvers.

The fate of Mary Darling (2), who sold Bishop lots with the consent of her parents given her by the grandparents is not known. Hannah Darling (2) married Renold Kelly and lived on Monhegan. Abigail Darling (2) died single in 1725, administration given to her brother Thomas. Martha Darling (2) probably married James Ross, and returned to Falmouth. Per- haps she also had a husband who was father of Richard Welch, called nephew by Hannah.

The children of John Darling (2) belong to Lunenburg records. The line of John Darling (3) is found in New Hampshire. Benjamin Dar-

14 DARLING FAMILY

ling (3) born in Lynnfield, 1728, became a mariner, then a carpenter, came home to live with his father and married Mary Holt of Andover, 1766, and inherited the Lunenburg homestead. Timo- thy Darling (3) was of Princeton and Winchen-

don, marrying Blood of Groton. Joseph

Darling we find a trace of in a witness to a deed, then he is lost. The children of Thomas Darling (2) of Framingham include Jonathan of And- over, who married Sarah Wardwell, and fell in the French war, 1746, at Louisburg. Jonathan Darling (4), born in Salem, 1742, married Han- nah Holt of Andover, 1763, and helped settle Blue Hill, Maine, with his wife's relatives. https://archive.org/stream/darlingfamilyina00week/darlingfamilyina0...
