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.

A chant used by dice players during both world wars and later made into a song recorded by Tex Ritter, "Tenaha, Timpson, Bobo, and Blair" made the rural area surrounding Timpson internationally recognized. Situated along the northwest border of Shelby County, the city of Timpson sprang up almost overnight when the Houston East and West Texas Railroad reached its present site in 1885. The city quickly became the major shipping point for the area, with four railroads connecting at Timpson by 1904. Notable in the city's history is its sacrifice of young lives during two world wars. The Timpson Guard Company was called into national service during both wars, and during World War I, Company B, 3rd Texas Infantry was said to have had more commissioned officers than any unit from towns of comparable size. Beginning in the mid-1940s, population slowly declined as families sought opportunities elsewhere. Still predominately rural, Timpson is set to enjoy a steady revitalization as recent gas exploration spurs its growth. Timpson has had its share of tragedy, intrigue, and notable residents, but its lasting legacy comes from the honest, hardworking people who have called Timpson home.
