Philip Darnall (b.1604) married Mary Calvert (d.1692), and was active in British politics and diplomacy as secretary to Sir George Calvert (Sir George was later knighted Lord Baltimore). In 1664 Philip received a land grant in Maryland, and after his death, his widow and two sons (Henry and John) immigrated there (the two sons were friends of Lord Baltimore's heir). John Darnell (d.1700) and his family, Quakers, immigrated from England to Burlington County, New Jersey (he died at sea). Richard Darnell was imported from England to St. Mary's County, Maryland as an indentured servant before 1674. Edward Darnall (1671-1754) was imported from England to Charles County, Maryland as an indentured servant in 1688. He married Sarah Robey before 1714. Descendants and relatives of these four immigrants (but chiefly progeny of Edward) lived in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Texas, California and elsewhere.
