Notes about Benjamin Darling 10

1 UID 695BC652AB44294388C570B349BE177C4192 1 UID F860246BA0FFBD4699C2D65B220152810B65 1 UID B813E7EF5E2A764E9E3B5AB1A804A26E8D6E I am searching for Benjamin and Isaac Darling's lineage line. Their parents are listed as Benjamin Darling and Sarah PROVERBS. They are listed as black, mulatto and sometimes white in the census'. Most folks have considered Benjamin and Sarah to be black, but I have an idea that Benjamin was Not. The name Benjamin Darling goes back to George Darling the Scot POW who came to Lynn, MA as an indentured servant in early 1651 from his capture at the Battle of Dunbar in Sept. of 1650 by Cromwell's men. George Darling even named a son Benjamin...others were James, Daniel, Thomas, and John (will dated April 12, 1693 Essex Co.) Anyway, I mentioned in this earlier but I believe that Sarah Proverbs IF that was indeed her name (Sinnett's info could many times be in error as this info was I believe taken from an old genealogy he did on this family). The Darling's are of Scottish descent and if you do a search of nearly Any area of Scotland with a population you will most likely find the surname Darling in the early parish records. It is my belief that Benjamin Darling ended up in the Harpswell-Phippsburg area from either MA or CT or some other place. OR he was sailing around with some sea captain that was making trips back and forth to the West Indies as so many of them did during those early years. My own 3rd grt. grandfather was a sea capt. who made the trips to the West Indies from the Harpswell area many times...my grandmother used to tell tales of his sea going days. Soooo, perhaps Benjamin Darling found his wife there and she is from Barbadoes. She might be black if that is the case, but Benjamin's wife might also be American Indian there were Plenty of them in Harpswell in these early days. My own family from Harpswell and Brunswick had a Passamaquoddy Indian married to a Scotsman. The Scots married Indians time and time again and because in the early days of the census (pre 1870) if you were of any color you were marked as 'black' or 'mulatto'. This did Not necessarily mean you were African-American, just that you were not completely white in race. So my theory is is that Benjamin Darling may have been a mixed blood Indian himself from whomever his parents were. His father might have married an Indian or his mother might have. Somewhere recently in my research travels I read where Scots and Indians were very close...so close in fact that many American Indians were sent to school in Scotland....Yes Scotland! To be married to an Indian in the late 1700's and early to mid 1800's (and probably later) was a disgrace to many families, my own included. My grandmother would not even speak of her husbands lineage which was of the Passamaquoddy line. She was very old fashioned though having been born in the 1800's. My great grandmother was the only one who told of our Indian lineage. My 4th grt. grandfather who descended from another Scot POW (I am still working on this but all evidence is pointing a great big arrow towards YES), married a Passamaquoddy Indian as his 2nd wife. She was 12 years younger then he was and they had several children together. They lived in Brunswick, ME which is a hop skip and a jump from Harpswell and Phippsburg. I feel this is significant and that it may lead to another area of research. However, Benjamin Darling and his brother Isaac as I said may both have been born of a mixed blood American Indian and Scottish marriage. I believe with all my being that the Benjamin Darling that was in the Harpswell area of Maine, descends from George Darling the Scot POW of Salem, MA. I cannot prove it as yet, and we may never be able to, but for now this is my theory...perhaps others have researched this more thoroughly and will have solid answers on this, but to me this is all new as I am just starting to research the Darling line. Any help or info greatly appreciated.
