He attended the Free Will Baptist Church, presided over by Elder John Gould, which then had its place of worship near the school house, on the hill east of Spafford Corners. After the Mormon exodus, which materially affected the membership of this church, Elder Darling came forward as a leader, and ministered over the remaining membership for many years thereafter. About 1827, he settled on a farm on the west side of the
