The Darlington or Darling Family Crest

The Colonists, Abraham and John Darlington, came over to Pennsylvania at a date anterior to 1711. They were the sons of Job and Mary Darlington of Darnhall, Co. Chester, England, and the arms we give belonged to that family. The Darling family, of Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York, claims descent from the Darlings of London, England, who are entitled, according to English authorities, to the same arms, with a different crest, however, the gutties also being or instead of d'eau. To that family belonged Samuel Darling of Newhaven (b. 1695, d. 1750), who removed from Providence, R. I., to the above-named city. The above-named colonist descended from Darling, a founder of the American family of Darling, which intermarried with the best blood of New England. A seal bearing the arms we give has already been in the family for a long time. The arms attributed by Burke to Lieut. Gen. Sir Ralph Darling, G. C. H., are of recent origin, and are not to be accepted as those of the colonial Dar
