Christopher Darby, child of Nycholai Darby and Katherine Darby, was baptised on 21 December 1571 in Askerswell, Dorset, England.[1]
Christopher of Sterthill in the parish of Burton-Bradstock, co. Dorset, gentleman. He was buried at Shipton-George, County Dorset. While his father was still living, Christopher Derby was accused by the Privy Council, in a letter dated 24 June 1597 and addressed to the Marquis of Winchester, of trying to evade military service by becoming a tetainer (sic. retainer?) of Viscount Bindon; but whether this accusation was justified does not appear. About 1598 his father assigned to him all his estate in the farms of Upper Sterthill and Nether Sterthill, and on 22 May 1601 Christopher Derby was the defendant in a suit in Chancery, the purpose of which was to test his title to the manor house and farm of Sterthill, otherwise Upper Sterthill and Nether Sterthill, late in the tenure of Nicholas Derby and then in the tenure of the latter's son Christopher Derby. Records of several law suits in which Christopher Derby was a party are given and are of great help in tracing the genealogy of the family.[2]
Christopher was born circa 1571 (chr. date) at Asherswell, County Dorset, England. He was christened in 1571 at Asherswell, County Dorset, England.
