PLEASE NOTE: I have no support for supposing that any of these records - except for John's church records - apply to these particular Darrs. There seems to be a cluster of appropriate names around Upper Milford, but it might not mean anything.
Sons
Michael
no information at all - these are all the Michaels I have. There was a Michael in the Weigant Darr line, son of Jacob, born 1745, [ according to Robert Lewis he was not really Jacob's son, but the son of Michael and Maria Margaretha, although Humphreys - Pennsylvania Births - has him as Jacob's son.] However, the date 1745 would fit this Michael nicely - and possibly there was a mixup between his mother's name and his wife's???
Rev War? - he would be 31
