      Notes
      ?Research notes on the Darnall family were originally credited to Sally Darnall Webb Federer who was cited in the Darnall Family History book written in 1979 as having discovered the roots of the Darnall family.

      The first Historical reference for David Darnall was 4 May 1686 in St. Mary's County, Maryland. He was asked to leave the state which was Catholic at the time, due to his marriage to Margritt. The legal request calls Margritt and her children 'pretended', suggesting they were not recognized by the Catholic Church. Margritt was a Quaker, and both David Darnall and his fellow militant non-conformist Parson John Waugh seemed in constant conflict with the State over religion and the rights of Quakers retaining property they had been granted and purchased. David proceeded with his suit until it brought about his financial ruin, and despite moving to Richmond County, Virginia, was still persecuted until his death.

      Margritt's surname is also noted as Mott and Stone in some family histories. Margritt's will was written after David's death in which she noted her sons which she could not have written without having been legally married to David. ********
