John Darling b. abt. 1633 d. 1713 Salem, MA. This line is unrelated to my own Darling line. John's wife was Mary Bishop. On this page you can read an historical accounting of his life and the diary of his great-grandson John Darling may be accessed here.

It contains information for Descendants of Denice Darling and Hannah Francis, John Darling & Mary Bishop for the most part. However, there is also some information regarding Richard Darling and Abigail Messenger as well as John Darling and Elizabeth Downham. All lines begin around 1630 or so in New England, Massachusetts mainly.
