5Frank J. Doherty, The Settlers of the Beekman Patent, NewEnglandAncestors.org, vol. 4.
"The Settlers of the Beekman Patent series, by Frank J. Doherty, contains data on over thirteen hundred families who settled in the Beekman Patent, an original land grant given to Col. Henry Beekman in 1697 by the English Crown and the second largest patent in present-day Dutchess County, New York. Many emigrants from New England lived in and passed through the Beekman Patent on their way west. Others, such as the Palatines and Quakers (almost all from New England), were early settlers and remained for several generations or more.

THE DARLING FAMILY John Darling was taxed in Charlotte in 1774 and the listing then changed to Jonathan Darling. Jonathan Darling was taxed in Northeast Prec. in 1779. Gideon Salisbury had been the previous listing. Jonathan Darling was taxed in Amenia in 1770 and in Charlotte from 1775 to 1779. John Darling preceded him on the list. Jonathan Darling was in Amenia Town in 1810 at 1-2-0-1-0 and 0-1-2-1-0, between Nathaniel Peck and Widow Hibberd. David and John Darling were also in this town at this time. Jonathan Darling was married to Lucy, dau. of Andrew Evans of Half Moon, Saratoga Co., NY who wrote his will 23 Dec. 1815."
