The Darrow Connection


Descendants of Sgt. George Darrow (191)

Generation One

1. Sgt. George1 DARROW (191); born circa 1652 at Scotland; dob is speculation of this researcher, pob is from Krug's book (see source);1,2

Sgt. George Darrow (191) married Mary Charlett (341) 1678; History of New London, page 347 - Only gives the name of Mary and her first married name of Sharswood.

History of Reedsburg, page 478 - States that Sgt George married Mary Sharswood, a young widow, in 1676.

Dar. Fam in US - Gives Mary the maiden name of Charlett with no source confirmation. She states: "George's (Darrow) wife, Mary (Sharswood), was the daughter of Nicholas and Catherine Charlett, and the widow of George Sharswood. ..." She gives 9 different sources for this fact but I have not researched it to see if any of those sources refer specifically to the name of Charlett.

H. Andrew Brown is the first source that uses the fact that Mary Charlett is married to George Darrow. He also lists her first husband as George Sharswood. In Linda Reuter's book, "The Darrow Family in the United States", H. Andrew Brown writes a comment on page 2 in reference as to whether Richard Darrow is a son of Sgt. George and Mary Darrow or a nephew of Sgt. George:

"I still see Richard Darrow (1682-1775) as the son of George and Mary Darrow, with them naming him after Mary Charlett's step-father: Richard Haughton, just as she named one son, Nicholas, after her birth father: Nicholas Charlett;"3,4,1,5

Sgt. George Darrow (191) married Elizabeth Marshall (362) 10 Aug 1702; Note from this researcher - (Some sources state that it was George Darrow b. 17 Oct 1680, son of Sgt. George Darrow, that married Elizabeth Marshall. After reading and studying History of Montville, page 102 and History of New London, page347 I believe that those sources are wrong and I agree with Baker and Caulkins.);6,7,4

Sgt. George Darrow (191) died 1704 at New London, New London, CT;6,4,8 his estate was probated 1706 at New London, New London, CT; The American Genealogists, Vol 9-10. Lists under Probate Records, New London, CT, pg 169 "that Elizabeth Darrow and Dan Stebbins were bonded as administerix's and an inventory was conducted by Christopher Darrow and Joshua Hempstead in 1706".9

Sgt. George Darrow (191) was living in 1675 at New London, New London, CT;

History of Reedsburg - "The immigrant ancestor, George Darrow, a native of Scotland, whence he moved with his people to Lancashire, England, was pressed on board a British man-o-war, which, on its way to New England, sailed by way of Cuba. In Cuba, George Darrow, then a young man, escaped and got aboard an American vessel, where he sequestered himself for three days. When the Americans discovered him, they allowed him to work his way to the mainland. He landed in New London, Conn., 1675,...."

History of Montville, CT - "Sergeant George Darrow, as he is styled, makes his first appearance in New London between the years 1675 and 1680, and marries Mary, relict of George Sharswood, whose death occurred previous to 1678,...."

History of Montville, CT - "Many of the descendants of the first George Darrow have been noted ministers of the gospel in the Baptist denomination. Nearly every generation has furnished one or more of the name who have adorned the profession."

History of New London - Under a heading "New inhabitants that appear between 1670 and 1700" the name "George Darrow; between 1675 and 1680."

H. Andrew Brown - "Sgt. George Darrow, ca 1664, arrived in Connecticut aboard a British Man of War from Cuba. In 1663, a Christopher Darrow (a father or brother) had been granted land by King George II in Connecticut. George Darrow may have claimed this land as an inheritance."3,6,10,11

Note by this researcher -- The following two paragraphs were found in research and seem appropiate to place them here in a discussion of Sgt George.

This is a portion of the obituary of Henry A. Darrow and was published in the Reedsburg Free Press, Reedsburg, Sauk, WI.

Obit of Henry Darrow -"The name Darrow is not of recent origin. It is traceable to the North of Scotland, thence to England, thence to America. The ancestors were large, strong and healthy -- quite noted for their size. Several of the men were said to have been about seven feet high and to have weighed nearly three hundred pounds."

H. Andrew Brown - "'Darrow' is a corruption of the Scottish 'Darragh' and was often spelled 'Darro', 'Darrah', etc. Mary Smith (one of Brown's sources) also felt that George Darrow Sr. was born in Tyledesley parish of Leith, Lancanshire or Lancaster, England. She also said that 'Darrow' came from the Irish 'Dar' for tree and 'Ragh-rah-row-sough-rell' for Oak and thus 'oaktree'. The Irish derivatives also are used by some to indicate that there was a Persian influence on the Irish because 'Dar' is also a Persian word for 'tree.'"12,13

Note by this researcher - Throughout the various histories, George Darrow, was listed as Sergeant George Darrow. I have never found out where this title comes from. Source #67 states that George Darrow was a Sgt. in the English Army prior to coming to America. I believe that information came from Source 68. I do not have much confidence in Source 68. Henry A. Darrow in Source 66 states that George Darrow was pressed into service aboard a British man-of-war as a young man. However, I have no solid confirmation of this statement.

In the report from GenServ - dayter1 -- He states that -- "Sgt. George Darrow's father was named George Darrow and his mother was Unkown Mather."

When I questioned dayter1 about this he stated that research on the Darrow family was done by his deceased grandmother and that much of the source material had been lost. He is attempting to find the source for this information and other information in the report.14,15

Children of Sgt. George1 Darrow (191) and Mary Charlett (341) were as follows:

There were no children of Sgt. George1 Darrow (191) and Elizabeth Marshall (362).

Generation Two

2. Christopher2 DARROW (342) (George1); born before 1 Dec 1678;17

Christopher Darrow (342) was baptized 1 Dec 1678 at New London, New London, CT; He was christened in the First Church, Congregational;6,18,19

Christopher Darrow (342) married Elizabeth Packer (343) 27 Jun 1701;

History of Reedsburg - "Christopher Darrow's will shows that his wife was Elizabeth Marshall. He was a distinguished soldier of his state. He was born Dec 1, 1778, but the date of his death is unknown." 

Note by this researcher -- (The above information indicating that Christopher Darrow's wife was Elizabeth Marshall is an obvious error. Christopher Darrow's wife was Elizabeth Packer. Also the date of birth should have been Dec 1, 1678.) 

History of Montville - states that "Christopher settled at Waterford, probably on the farm occupied by his father, called the 'Old Darrow Farm;'"6,20,8,18,21

Christopher Darrow (342) died 1757 at Waterford, New London, CT; Dunavent gives dod as Jan 1760

Grigra1 gives pod as Waterford, New London, CT

wooo7ga gives pod as New London, New London, CT;22,19,17,23

Christopher Darrow (342) was buried after 1757 at Old Darrow Farm??22

The following is from "History of New London, by Frances Calkins.

Quote - "By act of Assembley, May 13th, 1703, an addition was made to the bounds of New London, of a tract between the north bounds of the town and the southern bounds of Norwich, extending from the northeast boundary line of Lyme to Trading Cove, and by the cove to the Great River.

This included the Indian lands or Mohegan reservation, which had long been claimed by the town, but not legally included in their bounds.

’Patent of New London sanctioned by the Governor and Company, 14. Oct. 1704.

’To all persons to whom these presents shall come, -- The Governor and Company of her Majesty“s Colony of Connecticut in General Court assembled send greeting:--Whereas we the said Gov r and Company by vertue of Letters Patent to us granted by his Royal Majesty Charles the Second of England &c., king, bearing date the 23d day of April, in the 14th year of his reign, A. D. 1663, have formerly by certain acts and grants passed in Gen. Assembly given and granted to“ " unquote.

Here there are 77 names listed. One of those names is Christopher Darrow.

Note by this researcher -- (Some researchers interpret this to mean that the land was given in 1663 and that the Christopher Darrow mentioned must have been from an earlier generation. I maintain that the first paragraph of the quote shows that this act was dealing with an additional tract of land next to the original New London. This act was a procedure of annexation much as we do today. The original patent was giving by the king in 1663, but, this annexation did not take place until 1704. Notice the 4th paragraph of the quote and the sentence "The Governor and Company of her Majesty“s Colony of Connecticut" Christopher Darrow was married in 1702 and I believe living on a part of this area at this time.)

"History of Reedsburg and the upper Baraboo valley" by Merton Krug states the following about Christopher Darrow on page 479 --

"Christopher,(eldest son of George Darrow), was ever a man of influence in the then thriving port of New London, and when the city received its Charter from King James I, of England, Christopher Darrow's name was one of the few mentioned thereon."24

Molasses and Rum; H. Andrew Brown - "The diary of Joshua Hempstead mentions that on Friday 22 Apr 1715 he divided some molasses with Christopher Darrow and that on Tuesday 26 Apr 1715 he exchanged 109 gallons of Rum with Christopher Darrow making the transaction equal."25

Christopher Darrow (342) began military service on 25 Apr 1715 He was a Sgt. in the 2nd Co. of the CT Militia.26

H. Andrew Brown contains the following miscellaneous notes about Christopher Darrow.

"Christopher Darrow in 1718 bought 51 acres of land from Richard Rogers in present day Waterford, CT."27

Christopher Darrow (342) left a will on 13 Nov 1759; In this will, dated 4 Jul 1757, probated 13 Nov 1759, Christopher made the following bequests:

son Christopher, Jr. -- nothing, as he had already received his share of the estate.

sons William and George -- 76 pounds, 5 shillings, 1/2 pence each.

Joseph[?] -- 56 pounds, 2 shilling.

children Lemuel, Lydia and Elizabeth (Darrow) Lester -- 46 pounds, 5 shilling. 1/2 pence each.

son Jedediah -- 440 pounds

This will was not probated until after the death of Elizabeth in 8/9 Feb 1758."28

Children of Christopher2 Darrow (342) and Elizabeth Packer (343) were as follows:

4. Richard2 DARROW (3500) (George1); born 3 May 1682 at New London, New London, CT; Conflicting sources state that Richard was the son and also the nephew of Sgt. George Darrow [Page II. Several sources claims he is the fifih child of Sgt. George.

Other sources claim he came from Wales and England. The majority indicate he is Sgt, George 's nephew, and thus from England. These sources claim this fact because none of Richard's sons, nor his son's sons, carried on the name of George, as was the custom in those times.

H. Andrew Brown who has contributed a tremendous amount of information to this work, however, indicates the following:

"I still see Richard Darrow (1682-1775) as the son of George and Mary Darrow, with them naming him after Mary Charlett's step-father: Richard Haughton as she named one son, Nicholas, after her birthfather: Nicholas Charlett."

The following statement by H. Andrew Brown is contained in Linda Reuter's book, " The Darrow Family in the United States." 

"l probed the 'three Welsh brothers' theory and found it wanting for evidence other than a vague family tradition. There was no evidence of three brothers named Richard, George, & Christopher Darrow living in Connecticut in the 1600's. Deeds, church, militia, & census records only mention George Darrow. It is most likely that Sgt, George Darrow was the original Darrow who came to Connecticut to assume his father 's land grant and that he named a son, Christopher. after his English/Scottish father. The names of Richard, Christopher, and George JR appear in the 1700's as sons of Sgt. George."

Note from this researcher – I concur and believe the statement made by H. Andrew Brown. 

In the History of Montville, Henry Baker  lists -- "Richard as a son of Sgt. George and Mary Charlett."33,2,34  

Richard Darrow  was baptized 6 Aug 1704 at First Church, Congregational.6

Richard Darrow (3500) married Sarah Shepard (3501) 7 Aug 1710 at East Haven, New Haven, New Haven, CT; Richard and Sarah were married by Abraham Braly, J.P.

As of 1844, this island was still called Darrow's Island, and Richard's cellar and wall were still visible.33

Children of Richard2 Darrow (3500) and Sarah Shepard (3501) all born at East Haven, New Haven, New Haven, CT, were as follows:

Nicholas Darrow (347) married Millicent Beebe (60) circa 1700;38,39

Nicholas Darrow (347) died 5 May 1725 at New London, New London, CT.5

Probably also settled at Waterford, or New London. No record of his family has been discovered. it is, however, known that he had children. Source # 58 lists all the children but no birth dates. The fact that 1st Son Nicholas is married to Mary Griffin is also listed in source 58.22

July 31, 1783, Christopher Darrow, Jr., conveyed by deed to Jonathan Darrow a tract of land containing 36 acres, situated in North Parish, and says, "It being a tract of land my father gave me by deed of gift." The records do not show haw many children Christopher Darrow, Sr., had , and the only names recovered are Christopher and Jonathan.40

Generation Four

32. Maj. Christopher4 DARROW (80) (Christopher3, Christopher2, George1); born circa 1725 at Montville, CT; The about 1725 is only speculation by this researcher.73

Maj. Christopher Darrow (80) died Feb 1783.25

Christopher was a major in the Army of the Revolution, and a brave soldier in both the French and Revolutionary wars. His residence in the North Parish was a short distance west of the Harry Vincent Mill Pond. His farm was afterwards owned by Atwell Chapel, and later by Joshua Baker.

He had a son Christopher, and probably had other sons and daughters, but their record has not been recovered.40 He began military service between May 1775 and 27 Aug 1780 at CT In June, one of the six newly raised regiments, under the command of Col. Parsons, was reviewed in New London. ... Two companies of this regiment, the fourth and fifth, were raised in New London, and of these William Coit and James Chapman ... were Captains.

These two companies marched immediately to Boston, and took part in the battle of Bunker Hill. Of Captain Coit's company, .... Of Capt. Chapman's company, the corresponding officers were Christopher Darrow, John Raymond and George Latimer.

In "The Public Records of the State of Connecticut" , ".......at a General Assembly of the Governor and Company of the State of Connecticut in New England in America, holden at New Haven on the second Thursday of October, and continued by several adjournments to the seventh day of November following, Annoque Domini, 1776."

The Governor and his party on page 13 of the record did appoint Christopher Darrow, amongst others, to be Captains in the eight battalions now ordered to be raised in this State.

Christopher served at various ranks while in the military. He was a Lieutenant with the 5th Co., 6th Regiment under Col. Parsons, a Captain with the 1st Regiment, and a Major with the Connecticut Line. Christopher served as an Army Major in the French and Revolutionary Wars. He was in service from May 1775 until 27 Aug 1780.

Major Christopher Darrow (of the North Parish) fought bravely at Monmouth and on other battle-fields during the war.

Darrow, Christopher: b --- CT d p 7- -1783 CT m Sarah Gorton Maj CT

Served as Lieutenant, 5th company, 6th regiment, under Colonel Parsons; also captain, 1st regiment, Connecticut, and major, Connecticut line. Application submitted by Mrs Helen Whaley Mack, 2nd great granddaughter, Linage Certificate 147890, Vol 148, page 185.74,75,73,76,77

Christopher transferred a 36-acre tract of land to his brother, Johathan. This land was located in North Parish. The deed stated of that tract, "It being a tract of land my father gave me by deed of gift."33

Children of Maj. Christopher4 Darrow (80) include:

33. Zadoc4 DARROW (75) (Ebenezer3, Christopher2, George1); born 25 Dec 1728 at New London, New London, CT;45

Zadoc Darrow (75) married Hannah Lester (2534) before 1752;45

Zadoc Darrow (75) married Hester Lee (2533) 1 Apr 1755; Hester was living in Lyme, CT at the time of her marriage. She was the mother of all of Zadoc Darrow's children;45,78

Zadoc Darrow (75) married Elizabeth Pember (2531) before 16 Feb 1827; Elizabeth was a widow when Zadoc married her;45

Zadoc Darrow (75) died 16 Feb 1827 at New London, New London, CT, at age 98.45

Zadoc was a Baptist minister of considerable note; was elder of the Baptist church in Waterford for fifty years.45  

He was Baptist Minister; Zadoc Darrow dated his conversion from the New Light preaching of Joshua Morse, which took a strong hold of him when he was quite a young man; and from that time to an old age verging on a century of years, he was regarded by the Baptists as a zealous and faithful advocate, and a special blessing to their church.

A notice on his church, written about 1790, says: "they hold to close communion, and do not enjoin the layin on of hands at baptism: every member, whether male or female, is allowed to exhort in meeting, and at admission into the church, makes a public declaration of experiences" in 1769 at New London, New London, CT.79

There were no children of Zadoc4 Darrow (75) and Hannah Lester (2534).

 Children of Jedediah4 Darrow (358) and Alcha Teachout (474) were as follows:

79. Ammirus4 DARROW (148) (Jedidiah3, Christopher2, George1); born 20 Mar 1761 at CT. Merton Krug, a descendant of Henry Ammiras Darrow, writes in his "History of Reedsburg" published in 1929 "Ammiras Darrow, the fourth generation, was born March 20, 1761."

In the Pension Abstract as found in the "Compendium of Early Mohawk Valley Families" it states: "Darrow, Ammirus, b. 3/20/1761;"103,104,105

Ammirus Darrow (148) married Sarah Melona Fisher (149) 6 Jan 1786;

From Merton Krug's "History of Reedsburg", speaking of Ammirus:

"After serving throughout the Revolutionary War in the Continental Army, he returned top New London, T, where he married, Sarah Fisher, Jan 6, 1786;"

106,104

Ammirus Darrow (148) died 8 Aug 1824 at Boonville, Oneida Co., NY, at age 63;

Krug writes ...."There, in the Black River Valley, he died, Aug 8, 1824. ...."

The Pension Abstract as submitted by Sarah Fisher Darrow states the date of death as being "d. 3/8/1824."107,108

Merton Krug wrote in his "History of Reedsburg ...." about Ammirus Darrow. "While still very young this man went to New York, and is said to have taken part in the Boston Tea Party." 

Memo by this researcher -- (I assume Krug meant he took part in the Boston Tea Party and then went to New York.).104

Ammirus Darrow (148) began military service between 1776 and 1782 at Rochester, NY,

Ammirus Darrow (1761 - 1824) served in the New York levies under the command of Colonels Morris Graham and Willitts. In the book, "New York in the Revolution as Colony and State" most of the line military units and state levies are listed. Ammirus is listed in two different regimental units. In one of them the regimental levie was commanded by Colonel Marinus Willett and I have determined the year to be 1782. Under the list of enlisted men he is indicated as "Ammirus Darrow". It also lists his brother, Jedidiah Darrow, and two first cousins, Daniel Darrow and George Darrow as being members of the regiment.

Ammirus is also listed on the regimental roster of the regiment commanded by Colonel Morris Graham. On this roster he is listed as Darrow, Ammerias. His first cousin, Daniel Darrow, is also a member of this organization. The date of service in this regiment may have been before or after his service with Colonel Willett.

Following is the DAR certificate submitted by Mrs. Alma F. Steensen.

"Daughters of the Revolution -- Volume 77

Mrs. Alma F. Steensen DAR # 76817

Born in Wabasha County, MN

Wife of J. C. Steensen.

Descendant of Ammarius Darrow.

Daughter of Alonzo Darrow (b. 1838) and Sarah A. Darrow (1841 – 1902), his wife, m. 1860

Granddaughter of Alexander Darrow (1793 – 1882) and Electa Wilcox (d. 1843), his wife.

Gr - granddaughter of Ammarius Darrow and Sarah Malonia, his wife.

Ammarius Darrow (1761 - 1824) served in the New York levies under the command of Colonels Morris Graham and Willitts. He died in Booneville, N. Y."

H. Andrew Brown reports in his Darrow file under Ammirus (which he spells, "Amirius") that Sarah Melona his wife stated that: "He enlisted Rev. War at Spencertown, Columbia, NY."

Note by this researcher -- (The term "levies" is a military term meaning "the compulsory enlistment of personnel as for military service.")

109,110,111,112,113

Ammirus Darrow (148) was living in 1789 at Canaan, Columbia, NY; According to the pension abstract, Sarah Fisher Darrow, his wife, stated that their second child, Prudence and third child, Jedidiah, were born in Canaan, NY.107

Ammirus Darrow (148) and Sarah Melona Fisher (149) were living in 1791 at Stephentown, Columbia, NY; According to the pension abstract submitted by Sarah Fisher Darrow, his wife, their children, Henry Ammirus, Alexander and Sophia, were born in Stephentown, NY.107

Ammirus Darrow (148) was a shoemaker and tannery operator in 1795 at Leyden, Herkimer County, NY.104,114

Ammirus Darrow (148) and Sarah Melona Fisher (149) were living in 1795 at Leyden, Herkimer County, NY; Merton Krug's, "History of Reedsburg" states: "Ammiras Darrow and his wife lived for some in New London, but in 1795, they moved to Boonville, Oneida Co., NY, where he had a Tannery." 

(Note by this researcher -- Actually they moved to Canaan, Columbia, NY [1789],and then to Stephentown, Columbia, NY [1791] before they moved to Leyden, Herkimer, NY. They could not have moved to Boonville, Oneida, NY because Oneida did not become a county until 1798 when it was formed from Herkimer County, and Boonville did not become a township until 1805 when it was formed by a division of Leyden Township.)

In the obituary of Henry A. Darrow, who died in 1886, the following was found. It was published by the Reedsburg Free Press, Reedsburg, WI, Dec 9, 1886. Only that portion of the obituary that pertains to Henry Darrow's ancestry is shown here.

"His father, (speaking of Ammiras), was a Revolutionary soldier, and a shoemaker by trade. He removed to Boonville, N. Y. in 1795, when this place first began to be occupied and the early settlers underwent many hardships. There were eleven children in the family, eight boys and three girls. These early settlers were very poor, having but little money to pay the shoemaker, and that which they had was very much depreciated in value, requiring some seventeen dollars of this"Continental Currency" to pay for a meal of victuals. The style of living was quite different from the present. Instead of pantry and kitchen filled with all that is needful and convenient, the old Iron bake kettle, some wooden dishes, perhaps a few pewter plates, a goard instead of a tin dipper, a few knives and forks, manufactured by the blacksmith, constituted the outfit of the common people.104,115

I do not have any official data to confirm that Ammirus Darrow is a son of Jedidiah Darrow b.1721 and Prudence Bailey b. 1 Mar 1751. I am using the comment 1 and 2 below as circumstantial evidence that he is their son.

1. George Darrow, brother of Ammirus b. abt 1763, will was probated in Herkimer, NY, Estate No. 01834, on 22 Feb 1796. George had been late of Steubentown, Herkimer, NY. Amirus Darrow was listed as his executor, with Jedidiah Darrow, another brother b. 1761, in charge of the inventory.116

2. Land Sale; This a deed made by Jedidiah Darrow b. 1 Jan., 1762 to his brother Ammiras Darrow b. 20 Mar., 1761. 

"Know all men by these presents, that I, Jedidiah Darrow of the Town of Minden in the County of Montgomery in the State of New York for and in consideration of the sum of Two hundred dollars received to my full satisfaction of my brother Ammirus Darrow of the Town of Leyden and County of Oneida in the State of New York, have remised, released, and forever quit-claimed, and by these presents for myself my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns forever, justly and absolutely remise, release and forever quit-claim his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns forever all such right or title as I the said Jedidiah Darrow have or ought to have in and to a piece or parcel of land situated lying and being on the west side of Black River in the County of Oneida and State of New York, known and distinguished by No 41, according to a map of the same filed in the Clerk“s office of the County being a survey made by Benjamin Wright, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety four, to have and to hold the above described premises unto him the said Ammirus Darrow, his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, to the only use and behoof of the said Ammirus Darrow, his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns forever, so that I the said Jedidiah Darrow nor any other person in my name and behalf shall and will hereafter claim or demand any right or title to the premises or any part thereof, but they and every of them shall by these presents be excluded and forever barred.

Note from this researcher -- ( I found this information at http://ny.frontiercomm.net/~jbridges/darrow.htm. It is a website on the Darrow family.)

The Rev. Zadock Darrow was born 11 Jun 1768 in Lyme, New London Cty, CT. He married Lucy Lord on 25 Jan 1791 in Lyme, CT. He is the son of the Rev. Zadoc Darrow, a Baptist minister of some prominence in New London Cty, CT. Sometime between 1807 and 1809, Zadock's family moved to New York state, settling variously in Butternuts and Norwich, NY. The family then moved to St. Louis, Mo where they lived for three years.

In the 1820's, the family moved to Illinois, settling in St. Clair Cty. For a year or two, however, Rev. Darrow served a church on the Horse Prairie, located about four miles east of Red Bud, Randolph, IL. He is listed in the 1825 census of Randolph county.

Zadock is first mentioned in the "Minutes of the Rock Springs Baptist Church" on 11 July 1829. His children were prominent Baptists, many serving in leadership positions in the Oak Hill Baptist Church. A number of his descendants are buried in the historic Rock Springs and Oak Hill Cemeteries in St. Clair Cty. A Darrow descendant still farms some of the original Darrow property owned in O'Fallon, St Clair, IL., although the Darrow surname has died out in St. Clair county. He was a Minister in 1774.136

"Another family to come that spring was that of Mr. And Mrs. Henry A. Darrow, whose progeny is more numerous in the town at the present time than that of any other of the pioneers. They had come to Dellona the fall previous, from Walworth County, where they had resided since 1839. Previous to this they had lived in Ohio, going there from New York in 1832. Mrs. Darrow, whose maiden name was Luceba Dann, was a granddaughter of Colonel Rall, the Hessian general who commanded the Hessian troops at the Battle of Trenton. It will do to recall that it was to attack Colonel Rall that Washington made his historical crossing of the Delaware, Christmas night, 1776. The Darrow-Dann genealogy is printed elsewhere in this work."

"Henry Ammiras Darrow settled on the farm now owned and occupied by Robert N. Cassity. They had acquired the farm through the sale of their Walworth County property, it having had a previous homesteader, and they found upon it a rude log house. But the Darrow family being large, they soon reared a more commodious frame house. The family at the time consisted of thirteen members: Mr. And Mrs. Darrow, eight unmarried children, Adelia, H. Ammiras, Nathaniel, Sarah, Albert, George, Caroline and John, and Elizabeth, the oldest, who, with her husband, Heman Miller, and their daughter, Evaline, completed the party. Another Darrow girl, Phoebe, came to Winfield later. If thirteen is misfortune for some it certainly was not for this family. For Mr. And Mrs. Darrow lived to see seven of their children comfortably situated on Winfield farms, all within an area of less than three miles. Nathaniel Darrow married Elnora Campbell and occupied the home place, and upon his death it passed to its present owner, Mr. R. N. Cassity. H. Ammiras settled the farm now owned by Jesse W. Churchill, son of Ira, previously mentioned, and died unmarried; George Darrow bought the Trurman Sifford fame about 1871, which farm he still retains. He married Ida Powell, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Fish) Powell; they had a large family of children; Cora, wife of Floyd Webster, Elkhorn, Wisconsin; Edith, (Mrs. Leigh Seamans). Lime Ridge; Howard, Idaho; Thomas Henry (Dick); Burr, Pennsylvania; Adelia, widow of the late Orna F. Cottington, now of Reedsburg; Floyd, Chippewa, Wisconsin; Stanley, Chippewa, Wis.; and Harold, married to Lillian Rhodawald, resident of Reedsburg."

"Mr. And Mrs. Heman Miller had a number of children besides Evaline, who married Robert Greenwood, Jr. Among them were: Henry, of recent local memory; Luceba, who married Ed. Cassity, and whose children, Robert N. Cassity and Elizabeth (Mrs. Charles W. Radloff) are of local residence; George, Nathaniel, Silas, Harvey, Arthur, John, William."

"We will mention the four maiden daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Darrow a little later."

"Pioneer days in Winfield. Of the families now residing within that township, more can claim descent from the honored settlers whose name heads this page, than from any other pioneer couple who came into Winfield when her hilly reaches were wrapt in virgin wilderness. Mr. and Mrs. Darrow were among the very earliest of the permanent pioneer families of the town of Winfield and came early in the spring of 1852.

Henry Ammiras Darrow, son of Ammiras and Sarah (Fisher) Darrow, was born in the city of New London, Conn., Sept 19, 1791. The immigrant ancestor, George Darrow, a native of Scotland, whence he moved with his people to Lancashire, England, was pressed on board a British man-o-war, which, on its way to New England, sailed by way of Cuba. In Cuba, George Darrow, then a young man, escaped and got aboard an American vessel, where he sequestered himself for three days. When the Americans discovered him, they allowed him to work his way to the mainland. He landed in New London, Conn., 1675, and the following year, 1676, married Mary Sharswood, a young widow. They resided in New London where he died in 1704. His eldest son, Christopher, was ever a man of influence in the then thriving port of New London, and when the city received its Charter from King James I, of England, Christopher Darrow“s name was one of the few mentioned thereon. Christopher Darrow“s will shows that his wife was Elizabeth Marshall. (This is obviously wrong, his wife was Elizabeth Packer.) He was a distinguished soldier of his state. He was born Dec. 1, 1778 (Wrong, he meant 1678), but the date of death is unknown. Jedediah Darrow, next in the line of descent, was born Aug. 10, 1721, and married Prudence Bailey. The date of his death is also unknown. Ammiras Darrow, the fourth generation, was born March 20, 1761. (Note to H. Andrew Brown – I notice that your year of birth is 1762, which I guess it would have to be if he was a son of Jedediah and Prudence Darrow. The only date that I had to go on was the one listed above. I like yours better.) While still very young this man went to New York, and is said to have taken part in the Boston Tea Party. (I think this would look better if he had said that ’He took part in the Boston Tea Party and then went to New York“, but then it“s his story.) After serving throughout the Revolutionary War in the Continental Army, he returned to New London, Conn., where he married, Jan. 6, 1786, Sarah Fisher. (Most Darrow researchers give Sarah the maiden name of ’Melona“. I believe it was ’Fisher“ as stated above. The name on her headstone in Greenwood Cemetery states: Sarah (Fisher) Darrow.)

She was born in new London, in 1764. Her father was a native of Ireland, and, like George Darrow, was pressed on board a British man-o-war, which he jumped, and came to new London, where he built and operated a tannery. In 1881, when Benedict Arnold burned the town, his establishment was burned to the ground.

Ammiras Darrow and his wife lived for some time in New London, but in 1795, they moved to Booneville, Oneida Co., N.Y., where he had a tannery. There, in the Black River Valley he died, Aug. 8, 1824. Henry A. Darrow left his father“s farm in Booneville in 1823, and went into western new York, into the Genesee Valley, where he married, May 10, 1832, Luceba Dann.

This lady was born in Genesee Co., N. Y., Sept. 14, 1808, daughter of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Rall) Dann. Her father, was a son of Nathaniel and Mary (Underhill) Dann. The Underhill family is an old family of Oyster Bay, N. Y., and its founder was Capt. John Underhill, celebrated hero of the Pequot War. Capt. Underhill came to America from England, with Capt. John Mason, in 1630. His wife, whom he married in London, was Elizabeth Feake, daughter of Robert and Elizabeth (Winthrop) Feake. Elizabeth Winthrop was a sister of Gov. Winthrop. Elizabeth Rall was a daughter of Col. Johannes Rall, Hessian leader, who commanded the Hessian troops at the Battle of Trenton. He was born in Hesse-Cassel, Germany, 1721, and was shot Christmas night, 1776, when Washington crossed the Delaware to attack him and his troops. After their marriage Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Rall) Dann resided in the Genesee Valley, where the mother died in 1857. Nathaniel Dann was a descendant of the House of Sellick, a branch of the Dutch nobility, the first representative of which to come to America was Robert Sellick, was settled in Connecticut about 1635, and intermarried with the Underhill family, probably one Mary Underhill, daughter of the captain. Nathaniel Dann was a captain during the War of 1812.

Upon their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Darrow located in Mecca, Trumbull Co., Ohio, where they lived until 1839. A daughter, Adelia, born there, related an incident that happened to her and her sister Clara, while living there, to relatives this summer. She said that once when her father was away from home, her mother had occasion to go to Mecca for provisions, leaving the two little girls at home. Darkness fell before the mother returned and, being afraid to stay alone in the house, she, Adelia, taking baby Clara in her arms, started toward the city. They met the mother half way home. In 1839 Mr. and Mrs. Darrow moved to Walworth Co., Wis., being among the earliest pioneers of the state, where they resided (in Sharron Township) until the fall of 1851, when they set out, with two ox drawn wagons, for Sauk County. Arriving at their destination that fall, they put up for the winter in a very rude cabin in the town of Dellona, and the following spring moved onto a farm in the eastern part of the town of Winfield, where they spent the rest of their lives. He died Nov. 30, 1886; she, March 4, 1882.

Their ten children were: Elizabeth, who married Heman Miller; Adelia, who married Elias Fish; Clara, who died in Ohio; Phoebe who married Lucius Fish; Ammiras; Nathaniel, who married Elnora Campbell; Sarah, who married Lewis Fish; Albert, who married a Miss McCray, and went south; George, who married Ida Powell; Caroline, who married Louis Sherman; and John, who married Elizabeth Senogles. Mention of each member of this family will be found in the chapter on Winfield."

When this place first began to be occupied and the early settlers underwent many hardships. There were eleven children in the family, eight boys and three girls. These early settlers were very poor, having but little money to pay the shoemaker, and that which they had was very much depreciated in value, requiring some seventeen dollars of this "Continental Currency" to pay for a meal of victuals. The style of living was quite different from the present. Instead of pantry and kitchen filled with all that is needful and convenient, the old iron bake kettle, some wooden dishes, perhaps a few pewter plates, a gourd instead of a tin dipper, a few knives and forks, manufactured by the blacksmith, constituted the outfit of the common people. The bread was made from corn meal or rye flour. Their clothes either from wool or flax, manufactured from the raw material by each household for themselves. Each farmer made his own wooden plow. All the implements were of a very rude and primitive character Every one had a hard fight for a living. Of course the educating of a family of eleven children, by employing a tutor or private teacher was not to be thought of. It was so expensive, and our present system of free schools had not been originated.

The name Darrow is not of recent origin. It is traceable to the North of Scotland, thence to England, thence to America. The ancestors were large, strong and healthy—quite noted for their size. Several of the men were said to have been about seven feet high and to have weighed nearly three hundred pounds.

Henry A. was the second son and fourth in the family, and was obliged to go out to service quite young. As his father died when he was 20 years old and the other children were married as (unreadable) support of the family, until he was about 32 years of age, when he gave up all his interest in the farm and other property to his sister, and went to what was then regarded as "the far west," that is to the Genesse county, in western New York, and commenced for himself near Rochester. Then he married the oldest daughter of Nathaniel Dann, (a well to-do farmer,) and moved to Ohio and bought a farm. In 1839 he sold his farm and moved to Walworth Co., Wis. In 1851, he exchanged this farm for the one on which he lived until the day of his death. He had very little sickness or suffering, except from rheumatism. His good health and long life, (for he was in his 96th year of age when he died) are no doubt to be ascribed partly to his temperate habits, and partly to the fact that he was descended from long-lived stock. Some of ancestors having lived to be one hundred years old.

He drank no liquors of any kind, made no use of tobacco in any form; he used no profane language; he never allowed himself to get into a passion and scarcely ever punished a child; he seldom fretted, was almost always cheerful and jovial; his thought and care for himself was but little, while it was exercised in large measure for the comfort and enjoyment of his family. He desired that all his children should acquire a good education and assisted them so far as he was able, making home a school for them during the long winter evenings. He subscribed to no religious creed, but he was a constant reader of the Bible and believed all of it. He did not practice family worship, but made his whole life religious, and his children are grateful for his good example and his many good counsels. It is rarely that we meet with one who was spared to such a good old age; to see such a large family of children grown up to manhood and womanhood about him, besides several grandchildren, and to be able, as he was to go back in memory to the days of George Washington, recall the numerous interesting events – remarkable changes – the marvelous progress that has occurred during nearly the century that he lived. A period during which greater advancement has been made in civilization, education and Christianity than in any 2,ooo years of the world“s previous history. Though the weather was very cold on the day of the funeral the attendance was large. Three of the sons and four of the daughters and husbands were present, and several of the grandchildren, also a large number of old acquaintances and friends. The text of the funeral discourse was Job 5:26, "Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age like as a shock of corn cometh in his season."168

Joseph Darrow (129) died after 1880 at Summit, Juneau, WI;

Notes by this researcher -- (Joseph Darrow (129) was buried after 1880 at Big Creek Cemetery, Sauk County, WI; Research has been done on trying to find the plot that Joseph was buried in. This has not been successful. According to the Historical Society of Juneau and Sauk Counties there has been a great deal of vandalism at this cemetery and the headstone or marker could have been destroyed. I am fairly certain that this is the location where both Joseph and his wife, Pamela, were buried.)

Joseph Darrow (129) was living in 1830 at Henderson, Jefferson, NY; The 1830 Federal Census for Jefferson County, NY shows that the Joseph Darrow family is living in Henderson Township and consists of 1 male between the age of 20 and 30 (Joseph); 1 female between the age of 20 and 30 (Pamela) and 1 son less than 5 years of age (this is probably Wallace, who died at an early age).183

The source listed wrote the following -- "Joseph Darrow, born NY State about 1803, left New York State in the fall of 1852, coming through the Lakes to Milwaukee, arriving in Summit in October where he settled and built the house where Dempster Darrow now (1889) now lives. Demp was sailing on the Lakes at the time and had not been home since spring and did not know of the move of the family but by accident met his father on the street in Detroit where they had laid over a day and thus found where he was going; he followed in the spring of 1854."184

Joseph Darrow (129) appeared on the census of 1860 at Summit, Juneau, WI; The 1860 Federal Census for Juneau County, WI shows that Joseph is 57 years old. His occupation is farmer and he has $400 worth of real estate and personal effects have a value of $100. Living with him is his wife, Pamela, two sons, Dempster (23) and Emmet (13).185

Members of the family living at home: Pamelia age 65; Dempster 31, Emmett 22 and a grandson, Marshal Weber, age 8. (This is Charles Marshall Webber, son of Marshall Webber and Frances Darrow.).186

Joseph Darrow (129) appeared on the census of 1880 at Summit, Juneau, WI; Joseph Darrow is 78 years of age and is living with his son, Dempster. Pamelia his wife has died sometime prior to 1880.187

The following letter was received by Vera L. Smith from Anita Schappe, May 31, 1986. She lived at 603 Superior Ave, Tomah, WI, 54660 on that date. She is now deceased.

"Dear Vera,

I was talking to your mother (note by Vera, she meant Adeline, my sister.) on the phone today, she mentioned that you were going to visit your daughter in Salt Lake City, and that you planned to look into some genealogy, there.

I do have quite a lot on the Darrows, but I would like to know more about my great grandfather, (that's your mother's great-great-grandfather), Joseph Darrow. His father was a Revolutionary War soldier, named Ammirus who married Sarah Fisher, all the children were born in New London, Conn. The first ancestor, George Darrow, had settled there in the 1600's; he died in 1704. The Ammirus Darrows moved away, to NY state where he died in 1824. Sarah then moved to Ohio to live with her son Jedediah (grandfather of Atty. Clarence Darrow); when Jedediah died, she moved to Sauk Co., Wis. to live with her son Henry. An excerpt from Historical Files states that Henry and Joseph came to Wis in 1852. There's so much information on Henry and descendants! Henry was born in 1791, Joseph in 1803. I'm wondering where he lived (presumably in Summit in Juneau Co.), where he's buried in Big Creek Cemetery in Sauk Co.; no marker there, except one marker for Winifred Darrow, my mother's two year old sister who died around 1881. Someone said that Joseph was a post master in the Post Office in Summit but the historian in Mauston said there was never a post office there. I'm also interested in Joseph's wife's ancestors; her name was Pamela (Permelia) White. There are Whites married into the Henry Darrow (Fish) relatives, sometimes, I wonder if Joseph ever lived in Summit in Monroe Co. as there are many Whites in Sparta. I don't have Joseph's date of death nor Pamela's dates. You probably know that Joseph's children were Frances Webber, Louise Woodard, Dempster D., Emmett D., (my grandfather), Newton and Wallace, the last two died at an early age.

I wish you luck on your search; and hope you have a nice trip.

Regards, /s/ Anita Schappe."

Obituary of Henry A. Darrow

Gone To His Rest.
"Again are we confronted by the handiwork of Providence in removing from our midst an old and respected citizen, Henry A. Darrow, who died at the home of his step-son, D. P. Card, who resides about three miles northwest of town, at 10:30 A.M., on Monday, after a protracted decline of the system. The deceased was born at Rochester, N.Y., March 8, 1831. He came to southern Wisconsin in 1857, and later came north and settled on a farm near our village. Mr. Darrow served as a soldier in the War of the Rebellion and for many years lived an exemplary life, being a devout Christian and a member of the Methodist church. He is survived by an aged wife (also an invalid), four children, all girls, three brothers, one sister and other relatives for whom our sympathies are aroused in this their hour of sorrow. The funeral took place at the M. E. church on Wednesday at 10:30 A.M., Rev. Thomas W. Stamp officiating; after which the remains were laid to rest in Hill Grove Cemetery. [Published Friday, January 15, 1904, The Colfax Messenger, Colfax, Wisconsin.]

He has gone to the land of the blest,
To a country so bright and so fair
We speak of its glories, and yet,
Of what must it be to be there."226,227

176 Henry came to southern Wisconsin in 1857 later moving to Arkansas, Pepin County, Wisconsin.224

Henry A Darrow (4036) was living in 1858 at Necedah, Juneau, WI.224  

He was Lumberman. In about 1858 he moved to Necedah, Juneau County, Wisconsin, where he worked summers in the lumber mill operated by Thomas Weston and also for Burch & Patterson. During the winters he worked in the woods felling trees for the mills. On occasion he also rafted the logs down the river to the mills. He was described by Thomas Weston as an able bodied man who worked wherever he was assigned and was never laid off in 1858 at Necedah, Juneau, WI.224  

Henry was a veteran of the Civil War, having served in the 10th Independent Battalion, Wisconsin Light Artillery. He enlisted March 22, 1864, at New Lisbon, Juneau County, Wisconsin, to serve three years as a Private. On April 6, 1864 he was mustered into Federal service with the Battery at Madison, Wisconsin. At that time he received $60.00 of his $300.00 enlistment bounty, and was listed in the battery records as a 33 year old, 5'7˝" tall teamster, with light hair, blue eyes and a fair complexion, born in Black Rock, New York. His enlistment was credited to the town of Necedah, Juneau County, Wisconsin. 

On April 27, 1864, Henry joined the battery in the field. On March 10, 1865, Henry was captured with about 600 others when the Confederates charged their camp at Monroe Cross Roads near Fayetteville, North Carolina. He was initially confined at Raleigh, North Carolina, and from there marched to Richmond, Virginia, where he was confined at Libby Prison. On March 30, 1865 he was paroled at Coxe's Wharf, Virginia, having been a prisoner exactly twenty days. On March 31st he reported to Camp Parole, Maryland, and on April 2, 1865, sent to Benton Barracks, St. Louis, Missouri, where he reported April 7th. On April 10, 1865, was given a 30 day furlough and returned to his home in Juneau County, Wisconsin. He returned and was mustered out of Federal service on June 23, to date from June 7, 1865, at Madison, Wisconsin. On the Detachment Muster-out Roll it was noted that he had received $100.00 of his Federal enlistment bounty and was due the remaining $200.00, three months extra pay as a prisoner, less $10.15 cents transportation advanced while on furlough. He received a pension of $4.00 per month from June 8, 1865.228

 He ended military service on 23 Jun 1865 at mustered out, Madison, Dane, WI; See Memo under Milit-Beg.228

Henry A Darrow (4036) was living on 24 Jun 1865 at  Necedah, Juneau, WI.224

Henry A Darrow (4036) was living in Sep 1865 at Hays Creek, Dunn, WI; During his first year at Hay Creek he worked in Chippewa Falls, Chippewa County, Wisconsin, probably in one of the numerous lumber mills there.224  

In 1872 J. A. Kellogg, United States Pension Agent at La Crosse, Wisconsin, received information that Henry Darrow was using the pension money of William and Daniel Card to pay his debts, had driven the children from his home, leaving the children without suitable clothing and the privilege of attending school. The accusation was investigated by a County Judge of Dunn County, Wisconsin, who determined that Henry had indeed borrowed money from the children's pension account with the permission of Amanda and that adequate security was provided and interest paid. At that time he also determined that the youngest child, Daniel was living with his mother and Henry and was well provided for and that the oldest child, William, had been poorly advised by outside parties and had become unmanageable.224

On March 25, 1878 Henry A. Darrow filed Application No. 250,932 for an increase in his Veteran's pension.

Note from "An Armstrong Ancestry, John Edward Armstrong 1990 -- "Dempster was sailing on the lakes when his father, Joseph and the family made there move to Wisconsin in 1852. He did not know of the move of the family but by accident met his father on the street in Detroit where they had laid over a day and thus found out where they were going; he followed in the spring of 1854."

The Federal Census of 1860 for Dempster, Town of Summit, Juneau Cty, WI -- Age 23, Occupation - farm laborer on his fathers farm

Served in Civil War as Cpl. in Company I, 39th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment.

The following was published in the Juneau County Chronicle, Mauston, WI, Thursday, November 7, 1895.

DEMPSTER DARROW KILLED.

Struck by an engine Friday on Elm Street Crossing.

He lay unconscious until Monday when he died. Buried in Evergreen Cemetery with Masonic Honors.

"People on the street were shocked, Friday evening, by the intelligence brought up town by railroad employes that a passing engine had struck a man at the Elm street crossing. A crowd hastily gathered at the spot when it was learned that the unfortunate was Dempster Darrow, an old resident of the town of Summit. He was placed on a cot and conveyed to Dr. Smith's office where an examination was made of his injuries and later he was borne to rooms over J. H. Upton's restaurant where he breathed his last, Monday, about 10 a.m.

Mr Darrow came to the city about 4 o'clock, Friday afternoon, and after transacting some business, started to drive home, about 6 o'clock. When near the residence of James Allaby the whiffletrees to his buggy broke and leaving the rig by the roadside he drove the team to the city. He had nearly reached the crossing when he became aware of the engine bearing down upon him and quickening the pace of the team he attempted to cross. With a second more of tiem he would have accomplished this in safety, but before the one step could be taken that would have removed him from danger, the engine struck him and his form was hurled through the air alighting in the ditch, at a spot sixty-eight feet distant. When discovered he was unconsious and so remained until he died. It was found that his infuries consisted of numerous bruises and three broken ribs on his left side, but it is thought that death was caused from concussion of the brain. The funeral took place, Wednesday, from the chapel in Stewart's settlement, under the auspices of the Masonic lodge of this city and the body was interred in the Evergreen cemetery at Stewart's settlement.

Mr. Darrow always joked about his age and no one knows exactly but from the best information received he was 60 years old. He was born in Jefferson county, New York and came to Wisconsin in 1854 locating in the town of Summit where he has since resided. Always taking a deep interest in public affairs he has held many public offices, among them being county surveyor, deputy sheriff, postmaster and supervisor. Once he was a candidate for member of the legislature. His political faith was that of a democrat and his voiuce was often heard in the councils of the party. A wife and ten children survive him."

He began military service on 25 May 1864 at Milwaukee, WI, Dempster enlisted on May 25 1864 at Milwaukee, WI. He was recruited by E. Chamberlin for the term of 100 days. He was mustered in on June 3 1864 at Camp Washburn at the age of 24. According to the report, Dempster had blue eyes, sandy hair, light complexion and was 6 feet tall. His occupation was postmaster, his town of residence Mauston in Juneau County, WI. Dempster was assigned to Company I, 39th Regiment. The remarks column of the service record for Dempster Darrow reads, "Roll quoted M.I.- M.O. left sick at soldiers rest Chicago Sept. '64-Orig. Disch. cert. oriented A.I.O. 1/29/85 shows that Dempster Darrow was discharged on the 28th day of October 1864 at Chicago, Ill. by reason of surf. cert. of disability on acct. of debility resulting from typhoid fever and expiration of term of service. Born in Boonesville, N.Y. Disch'd as corporale.241

Dempster Darrow (132) appeared on the census of 20 Jun 1885 at Summit, Juneau, WI; Census shows Dempster as head of household with 7 white males and 5 white females.

The seven white males were probably -- Dempster Sr., Wallace, Dempster, Jr. , Edwin, Irwin, Joseph (his father) and a hired hand, probably Frank Niles who was working for him in the 1880 census. We do not know that Joseph, his father, is one of the males, but if that is so it would mean that Joseph died sometime between 1885 and 1900.242

Children of Dempster6 Darrow (132) and Susanna (Anna) (Sussamonde) Cornwell (787) were as follows:

368. Louisa6 DARROW (131) (Joseph5, Ammirus4, Jedidiah3, Christopher2, George1); born 1840 at St. Theresa Twshp, Jefferson Cty, NY;

Louisa Darrow (131) married Eli Woodard (750) at Tunnel City, Monroe, WI;

Louisa Darrow (131) died 1915.

Louisa Darrow (131) was living on 1 Jun 1850 at Rutland, Jefferson, NY; Louisa is living with a family, Jay B. Lyles (last name is doubtful due to poor handwriting) and Olive (?) A. (I believe is his wife but there is no title given).

Louisa is 16 years of age, which if is correct, she would have been born in 1836. There is no occupation listed for her so it is unknown whether she was a servant or just visiting.

There is another male, William Gregory, age 14. He could not be the son of the Lyles, because their ages are listed as both being 28 years.251

Children of Louisa6 Darrow (131) and Eli Woodard (750) were as follows:

369. Frances6 DARROW (128) (Joseph5, Ammirus4, Jedidiah3, Christopher2, George1); born circa 1841 at Rochester, NY; US Census for Watertown, Jefferson, NY for 1850 says Frances is 8 years old. The 1860 Census for Freedom, Sauk, WI gives her age as 19 years. Frances may have been born in either 1840, 1841 or 1842;252,182

Frances Darrow (128) married Marshall Weber (127) circa 1860;253

Frances Darrow (128) died circa 1867 at Black River Falls, WI.

1860 Census: Frances Webber, nee Darrow, is living with her husband, Marshall Webber, in the township of Freedom, Sauk County, WI. They have one daughter, Delphina, who was called Della. They were apparently married in 1859. The census indicates that they were "Married within the year." Della was 2 months old at the time of the census. The family apparently are working for Marshall's sister, Celestia and her husband, S. Nickson

Note by this researcher -- (Frances Darrow apparently died in Black River Falls, Jackson Co., WI. The obituary of Adeline Webber/Berlin states that "she (Adeline) was born in near the east fork of the Black River in Jackson Co., Jan 1,1864. Three years later they moved to Black River Falls where her mother died." The year of death could have been anytime between 1867 and 1970. In the 1970 Fed Census for Juneau Co., WI, Charles Marshal Webber, older brother of Adeline, is living with his Grandparents, Joseph and Pamela Darrow. I have not been able to acquire any confirmation on Frances Darrow death at this time.)

Frances Darrow (128) and Marshall Weber (127) were living on 1 Jun 1860 at Freedom, Sauk, WI.254

Frances Darrow (128) was living on 1 Jun 1865 at Albion, Jackson, WI.255

Frances Darrow (128) and Marshall Weber (127) were living on 1 Jun 1865 at Albion, Jackson, WI; census shows that the members of the family by gender are: 2 males and 4 females. The males would be Marshall, and his son Charles. The females would be Frances, Marshall's wife, and the three daughters, Della, Adeline and Minnie.256

Obit for Emmett Darrow published in "The Reedsburg Times", Friday, December 25, 1925. Donated by Carla Gill, descendant of Emmett Darrow.  

"Emmett Darrow, youngest son of Joseph Darrow and Pamela White, was born in Jefferson county, New York, July 28, 1846. He came to Wisconsin with his parents in 1852, and settled on the farm in Summit, now owned by Chester Clark, where his father had the first post office in this section of the country. He is the last of a family of six children: Wallace, Dempster, Newton, Mrs. Louise Woodland, and Mrs. Frances Webber.
He was married in 1872 to Jennie Barnett, and to this union seven children were born. Winnie died in infancy. The others, Newton, of La Valle; Ben, of Grand Rapids, Mich.; Mrs. Ruby Smart, Mauston; Frank, of La Valle: Mrs. Lula Douglas, Reedsburg; and Hugh, of Iron Mountain, Mich.; were all present at the funeral.
After his marriage he lived on his farm in Summit now owned by Thomas Bohn. About twenty years ago the family moved to La Valle, where he has since resided. His wife died about three years ago, and he had been in failing health for the past year, but up to a few weeks before his death, he was active and able and glad to see and visit his friends. Then he was sticken with paralysis, from which he partially rallied, until Dec. 10, when he passed away, cheery and hopeful to the end.
He united with the Advent Christian church of La Valle, shortly before his death, and was laid to rest in the La Valle cemetery, beside the wife he so dearly loved and sincerely mourned.
Funeral services, conducted by his pastor, Mrs. Purington, were held at La Valle Monday, Dec. 14, and were largely attended. Those from away besides his immediate family were: Mrs. Lula Kern, Sparta; William Smart, Mauston; James Darrow, Mauston; Mr. and Mrs. F. S.

1892 Pension application (#907627, Cert. #728643), Alfred was described as 5' 9 1/2 & 155Lbs. He was granted a $6.00 monthly pension dor the rheumatism he said he contracted the day he was captured by confederate Soldiers in Dec. 1862 near Stone River, TN (near McMinnville) while on a forage detail. Stripped of his clothing, he was exposed to the elements. The Confederates under Gen. Morgan released him in a prisoner exchange near Murfreesboro, TN on Jan. 27, 1863. Alfred lost all his upper teeth as a result of `bad food' causing scury while a prisoner.

Alfred & his family in the Manchester, IA Census of 1880 & in Sept of 1880 he was working on the RR at James River, Dakota Territory. In 1891, he was living in Ashland, Ashland Co., WI working as a carpenter. Suffering from chronic bronchitis, he evidently moved to Elkport, IA to be near relatives before he died in 1894 & is buried in an unmarked grave in Hansel Cemetery at Garber, IA. The fate of wife & children are unknown, although the Elkader, IA Register (6/22/1893) reported: a horrible accident occured at Updegraff last Thursday, in which a little boy was crushed to death. It seems that one of Alfred Darrow's boys was playing near the log pile at Beddow's saw mill when logs rolled & rolled over the boy's head, smashing it into a jelly & killing him instantly. The bereaved family have the sympathy of all in their sad affliction.

The following is a copy of a letter written to Adelia Darrow Fish from her second cousin, Edward E. Darrow explaining family history. Original letter is held by Mary Jo Ramsey, great grandaughter of Adelia. Molly Culver received it from a relative at Sparta in May of 1998.

111th Street ,New York City—Wed. June 27th,1923. To: Mrs. Adelia

Darrow Fish; Woodstock, Ill. My dear cousin— To be sure you and my father Amirus were real first cousins,of course we are second cousins-children of Henry A. Darrow and Amirus Darrow respectively, being children of the brothers, Henry and Jedediah. But will let our relationship go at "cousins"—not quite second cousins as you are a generation ahead of me.

Still you don“t seem a generation older.You and I are alike in one thing: we were both born on the 28th of the month. But my month was October, yours February. I was 76 years old Oct.28th 1922.You were 88,Feb.28th 1923. So you are just eleven years and eight months older than I. Now I get back again to your letter, you were entirely right in thinking you were giving me a great surprise. It was one indeed and a most agreeable one at that. You are the most important figure now in the history of the Darrow family who trace their descent back to George Darrow who landed at New London, Ct, about 1675 and married Mary Sharswood in 1676. He had emigrated from Lancashire, England. To me you are especially important as being the daughter of the only uncle of my father Ammirus, that he ever saw. I was the eldest of the eight children that made up my father“s family. While many of your father“s brothers went West. Your father was the only one (as far as I remember) who ever returned to Ohio for a visit. I am quite sure that my father saw him personally then when he came to visit his brother Jedediah in Mecca, Ohio about 1842. But this I do remember with perfect certainty, .father told me that his uncle Henry had visited New London, and looked at gravestones in the grave-yard there and had examined court and church records(birth records, records of transfer of title to property etc.) to find out whether some of the Darrows had not left property not accounted for and their heirs had not received it. Now you would probably know whether any part of this was true about your father—his visiting New London at all, or what he or found out there. Your father“s date of birth is recorded as Sept. 19,1791. And that he went to Wisconsin where he married. You were born, the second child, Feb.28th 1835. Your father probably came to Wis. At least as early as the early thirties. He would have been forty four years old at your birth. It would seem as though he must have visited New London in his early life before coming West or marrying. I have assumed that all of the children of our common ancestor Amirus or Amarius(your grandfather and my great-grandfather) that is, your father and all his brothers and sisters were born in Boonville or on the Darrow farm near Boonville where Amirus probably lived most of his life after marriage. One after another of these children left him and went further west. Now how fully can you give the history of your father? His early years you would have been dependent upon others for. Here we come to the very important part that your grandmother Sarah occupies in our common family history. She was the wife of Amirus, the Revolutionary Soldier. All that Revolutionary record has been dug up by the industry of a real first cousin of yours, the daughter of Alexander, your fathers brother. She lives (or did at last news from her) at Yakima, Washington. She got all the records the government had for his revolutionary career—date of birth, marriage, death, pension to widow and widow“s death,date of two years service in the Revolutionary, etc., etc. The following items about Joseph, born June 29th,1803,came to Wis. After the death of his father Amirus at Boonville,1824 and brought with him his mother, the widow of Amirus. This is your grandmother, Sarah Fisher Darrow, as you call her. And here is something that I wonder whether you can clear up. Was her maiden name Sarah Fisher? For her name has come to my record as "Sarah Melona", Melona sounds like an Italian name, and I thought it more likely that it was Irish instead, corrupted from "Maloney." But there were neither Irish nor Italians at that time in New London. My theory was that she might have been a young widow when Amirus married her or else she married again after his death some one by that name. I hope you can clear up this difficulty for me. I had never seen the name "Fisher" as her maiden name. But she is very important as being the one through whom a great deal of the early history of the Darrow family may be cleared up—in fact a great deal has been cleared up-but some still remains obscure. Whether these obscure points can still be cleared up depends on two things;(1) How much your grandmother remembered about things that had taken place and told you about, and whether you can still be certain about them; the other thing;(2) is; what will that bundle of letters reveal which she guarded so carefully and which your father had after her death and then passed on to a son and which are now in the keeping of Mr. Cassidy who you say is the son of a niece of your brother? I sup-pose the niece was really a "niece-in-law"being a direct niece of his wife and therefore not a Darrow ancestry but of his wife“s ancestry through either brother or sister. I suppose, in fact, Mr. Cassidy has never made any careful determination of the papers, perhaps has not even tried to, or may have tried and given them up. In truth ,no one who was not interested in and acquainted with Darrow history and knew just what he needed to look for, would make much headway in getting any thing of value out of them, of course they should never have gone out of Darrow hands but there are many excuses for that. First the neglect of those in whose hands they successfully came, to do anything with them. We can say that your grandmother ought to have looked them through carefully and classified them ac-cording to the material they dealt with. And we can then say that your father when they passed into his hands ought to have done it, or we can say that you ought to have done it for your father for I don“t doubt he would gladly have given you access to them for that purpose. Or we can say your uncle ought to have done it, es-pecially when he knew that he had no children into whose hands he could put these papers when he died. But I think that the plain truth of the whole matter was this: your grandmother probably had known at one time or another just what they contained—lots of old letters, very likely.from her various friends, received through her lifetime and as she became old and feeble she felt unable to arrange them in order for anyone following her but she would not destroy them while she lived. I know just how I shall feel myself. I have hundreds of letters that I shall keep as long as I live, I haven“t the heart to destroy them while I am alive. Yet I know they will be of no value to my heirs. Now after your grandmother died and the le6tter and other contents of the bundle passed onto your father and then to your child-less uncle, none of you really had any interest in them. Perhaps when your father had them it never even occurred to you to ask him to let you look them through and see what was in them? Anyway no one of you seems to have any knowledge of what they contained. Perhaps Mr. Cassidy has read them, perhaps not. If he married and has children he would very naturally hold to the papers so as not to prejudice their interests and leave them to them to get any good out of them they could. It may seem strange that people don“t examine such old docu-ments, or if they begin doing it, give it up.
Let me give you my experience right in our own family. I introduce it with a little explanation of family history: Of the ten children(possibly eleven, one not surviving long) of your grandfather Amirus, two only were daughters—Prudence and Sophia. Doubtless Amirus named the older daughter after his own mother Prudence Bailey(Darrow) wife of Jedediah. She married there and a descendant still lives in the Black River country at Mannsville. Sophia was the youngest and the only one of your father“s and my grandfather“s sisters and brothers I ever saw. She had married a Mr. Congdon and they had settled at Union City, Pa. She and her husband drove out to Kinsman,Ohio (some 50 miles) where Grandfather Jedediah then lived to see her brother before he died. It was probably in January 1861 as he died on March 2d, two days before Lincolns inauguration. My father lived a short half mile from him and I frequently went to his house on errands. Both of them well knew this meeting would be the last, Aunt Sophia stayed with us the last night. They kept their horses and carriage in our barn. I was much impressed with her and her conversation. Long years afterward, in 1907, my sister Mary, spending her summer vacation in large measure in places connected with Darrow family history and visiting relatives, having spent some little time in the Black River country in Boonville and going out to the farm (seven miles from Boonville where most of your father“s generation must have been born) stopped over at Union City on her way back to Chicago. Aunt Sophia had naturally long before passed away, also her husband and their son too was dead, but the widow still living was deeply interested in the visit of my sister,her son and daughter-in-law were also very glad to meet (I think the widow was living with another relative) They told my sister that there were a great many letter and papers that had been kept from Aunt Sophia“s lifetime. My sister had been interested in this genealogical work for a year or two before and the next year pursued it further, but not till 1909 did she determine to take up the letters left by Aunt Sophia and she wrote to Union City about them. This was the last year of my sister“s life. For a month or so before her death she anticipated their arrival, but they did not come until a few days after it (Nov.14th,1909). Here is where my "ancestor" work began. I became the administrator of my sister“s estate. A great many letters kept coming in from people asking after information as well as from those supplying it. So I had to take it up, thus I began the examination of the letters and other papers sent from Union City as well as a great deal of my sister“s correspondence. And I soon realized why people hated such work. Many old letters of a half a century before, more or less were difficult to decipher. The original handwriting would be bad—and especially ink grown very pale or faded out entirely –dates and addresses left off and finally the greater part of it did not give the things I was anxious to know. After spending time enough on them to see the nature of the difficulties, I rolled them up and sent them back with the statement that my sister had died before they came and that I thought from my short examination that I could not deal with them satisfactorily.
Now coming on to the contents of your grandmother“s bundle. Her husband Amirus died ninety nine years ago at Boonville,1824. My father (then a boy of seven) his sister Sarah, some three years older, and their father Jedediah were there at his death and had evidently spent several months before it, there. Your grandmother was born in 1767 and was evidently 57 years old at his death. He was 63. All the papers and letters which she had at the time of his death would be next year a hundred years old and more. Everything she had written or received before she was thirty years old would be today 130 years old.Yet most of what she left was probably written before her husband died. What the effect of time would have been in rendering the writing illegible, we can readily guess. One kind of her writing would have been of later dated—everything relating to her application for a pension. That was made June 27th 1842—just 81 years ago today. And to show the illegibility or the carelessness of the correspondence then your Grandfather“s name was spelled by the pension officials in five different ways Amirus, Ammirus, Amerias and Amarius being among them.Then too you may know whether she wrote any when she was with you and so kept adding to her package of letters. And then she seems to have returned to New London before the very last years of her life for address of "Sarah Melona Darrow" is given there. Do you know that that is a mistake and that she lived with your family until her death? And were you living at that time in Iowa and if so where? Even Government makes mistakes you know. As to marriage the official report is that Amirus Darrow and Sarah Melona were married in New London Jan.6th,1786. Now I wish to ask whether you have the list of ancestors clear from the landing in New London down to and I give each a line (1) George Darrow—came from England 1675-birthdate unknown-died 1704,George married Mary Sharswood,widow,1676-eldest son Christopher (2) Christopher, born Dec.1st,1678,date of death unknown.(3) Jedediah (your father's  grandfather):birth, Aug.10,1721: date death unknown (4) Amirus (your grandfather): born March 20,1761, died March 8th,1824.(5) Henry A.,your father),born Sept.19th,1791:died: date unknown (to me)(6) Mrs. Adelia Darrow Fish. So far I have been giving information as I had it, but I want to close with asking things of you and thus accepting your kind offer to help as far as you can on Darrow history. My brother Clarence gave your nephew an erroneous idea of the work I am doing here. when I took it from my deceased sister in 1909 it was unwillingly but I became interested in it and have aimed only at this much;vix; to answer what questions I could and try to get obscure places cleared up. I am getting too old now to go on much farther with it. What a pity it was that we did not know of each other a dozen years ago when both of us could have put more energy into it. I will put on the next page as clearly as I can just what I think it would be profitable for both of us to put on record—for you to keep written out for your heirs to have after you have passed away. For my record, it will be there for any one who applies for it as long as I am living and able to attend to it. I shall refer inquirers about you to you directly or give them what I have first. (1) What does the initial "A" stand for in your father“s name? What leads directly to the above question is that a grandson of my grandfather Jedediah Darrow (son of Lorenzo Dow Darrow) wrote me within the year and his name is Henry A. Darrow and addressd is 129 E.De La Guerra Street, Santa Barbara,California. I have little doubt that he was named directly from your father. And I believe this because it was very likely that his father Lorenzo met yours in Mecca in 1841 or 1842. This Henry A. Darrow (now 74 years old was born in 1849. Perhaps Lorenzo also visited your father in Wisconsin or Iowa. I have record that my Uncle Milton did and on his way back, married his wife Josephine in Cincinnati. (2) Now what do you know about either my uncle Lorenzo or Milton visiting your father and when and where. Also, do you know where Amirus got that name of Henry A. from, neither of Amirus“ three direct ancestors George or Christopher or Jedediah gave that name to one of his sons. So I think it came from your grandmother“s side. You ask me what I would like to have you do to help make out a history of the Darrows. Supposing I were writing a History of them from the arrival of the first ones in Connecticut, I can tell you instantly what would be the knowledge we need most. We need more of the early history, not the very earliest-the first two generations—church and town records have made them tolerably complete. But number (3) and (4), Jedediah and Amirus—your father“s grandfather and father is where we are in need of more knowledge. Amirus“ Revolutionary record has been fully cleared up—thanks to Mrs. Steenersen—there was a time when your grandmother could have cleared up the most of it. She was married at New London—Amirus went back from New York five years after he was discharged from military service to marry her. So it probable she was born in New London and they knew one another before he went into the army. She likely knew Ammirus“ father and his family .And if she did go back to New London to die, that would be additional evidence. This is one place her knowledge would help greatly. The other place is in Black River Country—in and near Boonville where all of Amirus“ children were probably born. Here your personal knowledge may help a great deal, much depending on what your father told you about it as well as on what your grandmother told you and whether any record of it was made and how far you can recall it. Your grandmother once knew where and when every child was born-for she was the mother. Was it recorded and the record kept only in that bundle she kept so carefully? And how early did your father leave Boonville? He was fifty years old when he visited Mecca and forty six when you were born. So it would seem that he did not leave Boonville early but may have remembered all the younger children until my grandfather, Jedediah came to Henrietta, married there, and so he lost from sight that branch of the family and their children. The question then comes what can you relate of these two periods and it may be a long and a hard one to answer. Of course I know that your interest is chiefly in your own descendants not in your ancestors, but, there is an interest in making your knowledge continuous—going both backward and forward. And one question I am anxious to find answer to—did you ever hear where Amirus“ father died? In a history of Boonville that I once read the statement was made that the first man buried there was either a Mr. Darrow or some one else whose name I have forgotten. If it was a Mr. Darrow, it would seem probable it was Jedediah. I do wish we knew. Now this is long enough for you for the present. If you wish completer records sent you to copy I shall be glad to send them. .I cannot tell how far you will find interest in it. If Mr. Cassidy has read the papers he has it would be an easy matter to find a sheet of birth and death records if such exists. You may know as much of the early history of the family as I do. If so all the better. Especially I shall be glad of any new knowledge you may send me. I have only a partial record of birth and death of your fathers brothers and sisters. Alphabetically arranged theirnames are (1) Alexander (2) Allen (3) Benjamin (4)Henry (5) Jedediah (6) John (7)Joseph (8)Silas (9)Prudence (10) Sophia. If you have any full or nearly full record of their brth date especially, I should be glad to have it. And as much of a record of your father as you can give as well as of yourself. But be careful about over exerting yourself. Some one should work from your dictation. With best regards I remain very true. Your cousin, Edward E. Darrow

He was living on 27 Jun 1923 at 111th St. New York, NY.289

Children of Edward Everett7 Darrow (481) and Helen Kelchner (482) were:

650. Clarence Seward7 DARROW (977) (Ammirus6, Jedediah5, Ammirus4, Jedidiah3, Christopher2, George1); born 18 Apr 1857 at Kinsman, Trumbull Co., Ohio;290

Clarence Seward Darrow (977) married Jessie Ohl (252) 15 Jan 1880 at Sharon, Mercer, PA;291,292

Clarence Seward Darrow (977) and Jessie Ohl (252) were divorced 1897;293

Clarence Seward Darrow (977) married Ruby Hammerstrom (489) 1905;294

Clarence Seward Darrow (977) died 13 Mar 1938 at Chicago, IL, at age 80 of heart disease;295

Clarence Seward Darrow (977) was buried after 13 Mar 1938 at Jackson Park, Chicago, IL; Clarence was cremated and his ashes were scattered from the bridge at Jackson Park, Chicago, IL.296

Clarence Darrow rose from $30 per month as an Ohio country school teacher to become a noted criminal lawyer with Chicago offices at 77 W. Washington.

He often defended the underdog, fighting unpopular cases for the poor, oppressed and weak. He defended John Scopes in the famous 1925 Dayton, Tennessee "Monkey Trial". Scopes had been charged with teaching evolution in the public schools contrary to state law.

An Agnostic, he believed that there probably was not a hereafter, but rather our existence on this earth was all there is. He regarded Jesus Christ as an ancient philosopher. Two books state his views: "Is Religion Necessary? No by Clarence Darrow" and "Absurdities of the Bible".

An ardent Democrat, he pled many labor causes. He credited two events for his decision to opt for a career first in teaching and then law. Those events were his aversion to "hard work" in which after two days he had quit a back breaking farm job and a wife's refusal to sign a Deed of Sale in Kinsman, OH for a house her husband had agreed to sell to Clarence -- in anger, Clarence left Kinsman for Chicago. He believed that we're "all cheats, potentially at least, though most of us manage to stay out of jail!" Example quote from Clarence Darrow: "The world has been one long slaughter-house from beginning, until today, Helling goes on and on and will for-ever."

Clarence was educated in public schools in Ohio, then spent a year at Allegheny College in Meadville, PA, and a year of law school at the University of Michigan. He read law in Ohio until he was admitted to the bar in 1875/78.

An extract from "News About Home" from the Ashtabula Sentinel in 1895 reads "C S Darrow, Esq., of Chicago, who has just returned from a two-month sojourn in Europe, was doing business and calling upon friends in the County last week."

Clarence belonged, at different times, to the law firms of Darrow, Masters, and Wilson (Chicago), and Darrow, Sissman, Holly and Carlin (N. Dearborn St., Chicago, 1925). He handled many prominent cases, including litigation against the gas monopoly in Chicago, representing the anthracite miners in the Philadelphia coal strike (1902-1903), and counsel for the McNamara brothers in the Los Angeles Times dynamite case (1911). One of his most celebrated trials was the Scopes trial, where CIarence represented the defendant's right to teach the Theory of Evolution in public schools.

During World War I, Clarence vigorously advocated US. participation to crush the alleged German autocracy. But soon he changed his stand to pacifism and spoke of the war as "national insanity.

In his politics, Clarence considered himself an Independent Democrat. In 1902, he was elected to the Illinois Legislature. In addition to his law career and political terms, Clarence also authored a number of books, including Persian Pearl. Resist Not Evil, and An Eve for an Eve. Socially, Clarence belonged to the Chicago Athletic Club and the South Shore Country Club.

During his career, Clarence took stands on many subjects-questioning free will, immortality and God--opposing the tariff, prohibition, and the League of Nations-advocating the closed (union) shop-the abolition of capital punishment and child labor-reform of the judicial and penal systems--and civil liberties unrestrained even by the "clear-and-present-danger " test

Clarence and his first wife, Jessie (Ohl), were divorced in 1897. Clarence and Jessie had only one child, Paul.

Clarence's second wife, Ruby (Hamerstrom), was related to the Gregg shorthand family. For several years prior to her death, Ruby lived in a nursing home in Oconomowoc, WI. She died there 6 Jul 1957, at the age of 88 years. Her relatives indicated that her body would be cremated and the ashes scattered over the same lagoon in Jackson Park where Clarence 's ashes had been scattered in 1938.

The witnesses were Joseph Webster and Electa Rebecca Webster, the latter being a sister of the bride. Albert was born in Sullivan, Jefferson County, Wisconsin in 1850, son of Loren Gansworth Moffet and Eliza La Forge, and died in about 1910, reportedly in Cloquet, Minnesota;174

Emma J Darrow (4075) died 13 Jan 1930 at the home of her son, Loren, Seattle, WA, at age 65; 

Emma's obituary published in the Barron County News Shield on January 30, 1930, revealed that Harold lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; George in Menomonie, Wisconsin; Reine Apker in Prentice, Wisconsin; and Alice Archambeau in Seattle, Washington. A photograph of Alice and her daughter Emma exists. My Aunt Florence stated that Alice lived in Louisiana. To confuse matters, Mormon Church Records show that an Alice Gertrude Moffett was married in 1927, to Robert Andrews Hall at Spokane, Washington. It this is the same Alice then she would have been married at least twice.174
