"I am trying to figure out the true pedigree of the Darnells. Laura Katherine Darnell is my true relative, but after that? The water is muddied because there are multiple patriotic Darnell families who named a son George Washington in Illinois." ~ Sanden

- 2. Sadly, there is a George Darnell who has no headstone, date of birth and death unknown in California: [https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/86873379/george-darnell]
Perhaps if this search turns up information about California George Darnell, a stone could be obtained to mark he was here.
