Shortly before the great North West territory was opened up a Darling little boy opened his eyes in the state of W. Virginia, Hardy Co. He was likely of English extraction, his name was Robert Darling. He grew up as many other pioneers had, enduring many hardships incidents to those early days. By and by he married a Miss Mary Passence, and in 1806, he brought his family of several sons and daughters to the Place called Marietta Ohio, where the Muskingum flows into the Ohio. Thence up the Muskingum, through Washington, Morgan and Muskingum Counties, possibly to what is now called Coshocton. The sons were William, Johnathan, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, James, Thomas, Robert - his youngest born in 1812. The daughters, Mary, Sophia, Christina and Rebecca.
If you will read the ordinance, controlling the affairs of the North West Territory, you will note in article one, that they needed a great many white men, before they could be represented in congress. 5000 free white males.
Article 4 [actually, 5] of the ordinance said, The teritory should be cut up into not less than three and not more than five states and that each division should have a population of 60.000 before it could be called a state - Ohio was the first state to enter or of the teritory to enter the Union in 1803. So this hardy old ancestor of ours, helped to make early history of the state of Ohio. The journey of over 500 miles from Virginia meant something in those days.
Now tall buildings rear their heads, where some of the early settlements were. Limousines now glide along noicelessly, on improved highways, where onve ox carts where used in ealier days. Possibly if Grandfather had been asked to ride by one of the magnates of business, who use such modes of conveyance, he might have imagined himself in Heaven but if during the ride some of the secrets of modern business, had been laid bare, he would have been sure he was in the other place; siding with the proprietor himself.
About 1807 the family separated, William and Jonathan going to Richland Co., Abraham to Knox and the rest of the family remaining in Coshocton Co. We cannot tell much of the families who remained there but we do know the well known stock dealers of, Washington and Perry Darling were the sons of one of the brothers who remained in Coshocton Co. and the town of Nellie is build on land once owned by Perry Darling and named in honor of his daughter. The son Abraham, emigrated to Knox Co. In the Frederickstown neighborhood and the well known families of Rineheart, Ferres, Ebersole and Darlings are among his descendants. Among those might be mentioned the late Dr. Darling whose life of promise was ent short by death several years ago.
This was written by Laura Fredrick Darling (1852-1943), granddaughter of Robert Darling
