*George's father is speculated to be Russell Darling,
based on the name given in the second son of George,
Russell. The first son was named for the father of
George's wife. Additionally, Rolla's middle name was
Russell, lending further weight to this possibility,
since the name "Russell" is not found in either Bassett,
Sawyer or Bowman lines.
