General Notes: Husband - Josiah Darling

---

The Darlings seem to have had their origin in New Hampshire at Sanbornton, and were living there long before the Revolution, but the records do not show when they settled there, or the history of the family back of Josiah Darling.

General Notes: Wife - Mary Quint

---

The Quints evidently were among the early settlers of New Hampshire, and what history is obtainable of them, shows the family to have been an enterprising and progressive class of people, whose descendants had considerable prominence in that section. One John Quint was a scout against the French in Capt. Westbrook's company in 1712, in the Colonial service. Joseph Quint was in Capt. David Jewett's company in Col. Thomas Ballet's regiment for the defense of West Point in 1780. This same Joseph appeared in Alton, N. H., in 1788, as signer of a petition for the incorporation of the town. Thomas Quint was in Col. George Reid's regiment for the defence of Fort Washington and in other services. This or another Thomas Quint appears in Capt. Carr's company in the expedition to Rhode Island in 1777, then said to be 19 years old, and born in Portsmouth, N. H. William Quint was at Kittery Point near Portmouth in 1775. These were all in the Revolutionary war. The families were found in Portsmouth and Dover, and the family directly concerned in this sketch was from Portsmouth.
Benjamin Quint was the head of the family that went from Portsmouth to Orford, N. H., but the year is not known, though it was shortly after the Revolution. On July 11, 1788, Benjamin Quint purchased the west half of 100 acre lot No. 5 in the town, from Samuel Morey, clerk for the proprietors of Orford, and he was one of the first settlers in the town. He died there April 21, 1822, aged 90 years. There was an addition to this town called Quinttown, doubtless from the large amount of land held there by the several families. Joseph Quint, no doubt the same that was at Alton in 1788, began to buy lands at Orford April 19, 1798, and by the year 1816, he had at least 200 acres. Land was also held by Thomas Quint, Benjamin Quint, Jr., and George Quint, all of the same family.
