General Notes: Husband - John Darr


He and his wife were natives of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, who moved to Indiana County in 1824, and settled in the house known as the "old toll house," at Indiana; afterwards they moved to Diamond Mills, and from thence to near Brookville, Jefferson County.

He lived for some time in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, where he ran the Diamond mill in association with his father, and he owned a farm in that county. Selling out his interests there, he moved to Rose township, Jefferson County, where he followed agricultural work, later purchasing land in that township, where he continued to make his home until his death, which occurred when he was sixty years old.
