James Darby

JAMES DARBY'S DATE OF BIRTH: Darby researchers generally report James Darby's date of birth as about 1834. That date is consistent with the 1860 Pickens County, GA census. However, James Darby's reported age in the 1850, 1870 and 1880 census place his date of birth about 1824/26. If James was born 1824/26, he does not fit into available age groups in the 1840 Charles Darby household. More research is needed on James Darby date of birth. (Mark Lawless)
