Citing first "Essex County Deeds, 5:1 02,472," for transfer of 19 November 1680 made "with the consent of my father, administrator to my grandfather Richard Bishop's estate and with the consent of my mother Mary Darling." Acknowledgement on 29 November 1680 "by the grantor and John Darling." Author reports a second acknowledgement on 14 September 1682 by Benjamin Fuller (reported of Salem, bricklayer) who is "the now husband of the said Mary with the consent of my said wife," citing Essex Deeds 3:390. Finally, author carefully notes, "Mary must have been the step-daughter of John Darling," includes her birth "30 8th mo: 1662," thus daughter of "John and Mary (Bishop) Barnett."
