General Notes: Husband - Dr. George Darling


From Massachusetts, he removed in 1822 to Clermont, McKean County, Pennsylvania, where he engaged in the practice of medicine, until his removal to Jefferson County.
He was the father of seven children, three sons and three daughters by his first marriage, and one daughter by his second.

He left Massachusetts, lived two years in New York state, then settled at Bunker Hill, McKean County, Pennsylvania, the first settlement in the county. He was an old time doctor, and rode the counties of McKean, Potter and Cameron, dispensing from his saddle bags healing remedies, and ministering to the ills or physical needs of the early settlers. He was the first, and for some time the only physician in that section. [GPHNP, 1038]
