Kathy- According to Avlyn Dodd Conley, who compiled the Darnell book, we do not know where David Darnall was born. It could have been England, Maryland, or Virginia. We do know that he was in St. Mary's County, MD in the mid 1680's and then later in Stafford County, VA and Richmond County, VA where he died in 1702. His son David was born around 1680, probably in MD, and died around 1741, probably in Spotsylvania, VA. We do not know his wife's name. Tim Ferrier
