Biography

m1. Rebecca Tarbox

John Darby, son of John and Alice Darby, was born in Marblehead, Massachusetts on October 8, 1681. When John was only nine years old, his father abandoned the family, became a pirate and was killed by the militia soon after. John became a weaver by trade. About 1703 he married Deborah Conant, who was born in Beverly on February 20, 1688, the daughter of John Conant and Bethia Mansfield. John and Deborah settled first in Beverly, where most of their children were born. In about 1720, they moved to Ipswich, and from there to Concord, where John died on March 7, 1753. His name was spelled Darbie in his will, which was dated in 1747. Deborah died in Concord on April 13, 1763. She was a descendant of Roger Conant, the original governor of Salem. There certainly was a new social structure being erected in New England, when the son of a pirate could marry the granddaughter of the governor.

John and Deborah had nine children, born in Beverly, Massachusetts:

  1. Deborah Darby, born April 8, 1714[1]
  2. John Darby, born December 27, 1704[2]
  3. Andrew Darby, born January 26, 1706/7[3]
  4. Benjamin Darby, born March 12, 1710/11[4]
  5. Ebenezer Darby, born November 23, 1712[5]
  6. Benjamin Darby, born November 28, 1715[6]
  7. Joseph Darby, born June 10, 1718[7]
  8. Mary Darby, born June 12, 1720[8]
  9. Robert Darby, born about 1723
