    Notes:

    Darlings originally came from the province of Hess in Germany, members went to England, became soldiers and were sent to America during the rebellion of the colonies against England. When the war ended they stayed in America as
    British Subjects and then came to Canada, and were given land grants as United Empire Loyalists.



    The Darling homestead was at the head of Loughborough Lake. A home was built and the family lived on the farm while the father continued his Army service. Life was very rugged, and the father walked home from Kingston every two
    weeks bringing supplies, sometimes carrying a hundred-pound sack of flour. He would cut wood and make sure the family was comfortable until he next returned. They had a cow, dog and some hens, these all had to be housed at ni
    ghts as there were many wolves. Eight boys and two girls were born at the homestead, all married and went their separate ways.
