Children of George and Katherine Darling were: James, born 1680, married, May 16, 1683, at Marble- head, Hannah Maine; John, born about 1652, mar- ried Elizabeth Muzzey, February 4, 1680; only son Thomas was ancestor of Framingham family; Dan- iel, Thomas, Benjamin, Henry, married Joanna Mitchell, at Marblehead, 1697-98; Hannah, Sarah, Margaret.
(II) Thomas Darling, son of George Darling (1), was born in Essex county, Massachusetts, about 1765. He was living in Salem, Massachu- setts. in 1690. He probably married Joanna -
They had a son John, baptized March 1, 1702.
(III) John Darling, grandson of George Darling (I), and believed to be the son of Thomas Darling (2), was baptized March 1, 1702, at Salem, Massa- chusetts, where he probably lived in his early days. He married Lois Gowing, March IO, 1721-22, at Lynn, Massachusetts. Both Gowing and Darl- ing families settled later at Westford, Massa- chusetts, a town in the vicinity. He was a
carpenter by trade. He settled for a time in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, where some of his children were born. He removed to Westford, Massachusetts. In 1741 he removed to Lunenburg. He purchased a farm there June II, 1741, of Eleazer Tarbell. He established a saw mill there. He bought more land, May 3, 1749, of Benjamin Bel- lows, Jr. This farm was on Flat Hill, Lunen- burg.

of John and Lois Darling were: John, see forward; Benjamin, baptized April 28, 1728, mentioned in deed of mill at Lunenburg; Timothy, baptized at Lynnfield, March 21, 1731 ; Joseph, baptized at Lynn- field, August 5, 1733; Lois, baptized August 31, 1735.
(IV) John Darling, Jr., son of John Darling (3), was born in Lynnfield or vicinity, about 1725, and probably came with his father and the re- mainder of the family from Westford to Lunen- burg, Massachusetts, in 1741. He married, at Lunen- burg, Ruth Boynton (sometimes spelled Boyington and various other ways), October 13, 1744. After the custom of the time his fellow citizens honored him the year after his marriage with the office of hogreeve. He was elected fire warden in 1748-49-55 and other years. He was highway surveyor in 1763 and other years. He and his brother Timothy removed to Winchendon in 1761. Timothy and Joanna Darling had four children born in Lunen- burg and three in Winchendon, the first after their removal being Daniel, born July 19, 1761. Timothy's service in the revolution, credited to Lunenburg, may have been Timothy, Jr.'s service, although a Timothy of Grafton was surgeon in the revolu- tion.
The history of Winchendon says the brothers were there as early as 1754, but the records of births in the two families fix the date as 1761. It is related that the Indians were afraid of Jolin Darling and lost a chance to take his scalp when he was mowing in a distant meadow because they were afraid of his big and glaring eyes. The broth- ers were tythingmen, highway surveyors and deer- reeves at Winchendon in 1764 and afterward. The farm of Henry Darling is now known as the Henry Keith place. John Darling is credited with service in the revolution in Captain Moses Hale's company, Colonel Nathan Sparhawk's regiment; also in Cap- tain Jonathan Holman's company. Colonel Ephraim Doolittle's regiment, together with his two sons, Jewett Boynton and John, Jr. It is difficult to distinguish the further service of father and son of the same name. Both seem to have served later than 1775.
Children of John, Sr. and Ruth (Boynton) Darling were: John, Jr., born at Lunenburg, De- cember 11, 1744, died August 27, 1746; Ruth, born at Leominster, December 21, 1746, married Levi Bixby. October 2, 1766; Lois, born June 26, 1749; John, Jr., born October 1, 1751, soldier in the revolution ; Unity, born at Lunenburg, July 12, 1755; Amity, born in Lunenburg, October 28, 1757; Jewett Boynton (Juet Boyington), born in Lunen- burg, February 23, 1760; Joseph, born in Winchen- don, July 26, 1762; Priscilla (twin), born at Win- chendon, June 13, 1765; Calvin (twin), born June 13, 1765.
(V) Jewett Boynton Darling, son of John Darling, Jr. (4), was born in Lunenburg, Massachu- setts, February 23. 1760. He removed to Winchen- don with the family when he was an infant in arıns. He was a soldier in the revolution, first a private when only fifteen years old in 1775 in the company of Captain Jonathan Holman, the regi- ment of Colonel Ephraim Doolittle, with his brother John, Jr. and his father John Darling. Sr. In 1776 he was in the company of Captain Richardson and regiment of Colonel Israel Hutchinson. He was reported taken prisoner by the British. November II, 1776, at Fort Washington, by his commander, Captain Richardson.
