50 years. He lived and died near the spot
where he was born. he was brother OF that
eminent botanist, DR.. wm. Darlington, late Of
West Chester. When boy 1t was bis lot to
carry his brothers weekly washing to this
city, who was then engaged In the study or
medicine. The reoollectiops he retained OF
our city 1t that day, were highly interesting.
There were then few buildings west OF the old
brewery at the corner Of eth and Orange SITS
In 1919 he served 10 q company known as tbs
"Amsrican Greys,"-few, very few of whom
are now in the world. Although never married,
he was the frat, and tor q time, the only man
| in the Township who held out for the Free
School System. He kept o record OF all the
children, grand and great grandchildren OF
| VIM. Brinton, who sailed frem England in the
last part of the Seventeenth Century, and pur-
chased nearly all the land that is now enclosed
in the township-from whom it seems that
nesrly all the Darlingtons and Brintons have
descended; and among them General George
Brinton Mcclellan. Thomas Darlingtons
memory was very good and ne ha G, valuable
things treasured in It, In the "history OF
Delaware County,"-a work now in the Will
mington Library-his bestowments ofprecious
treasures from his memory are therein thank
fully acknowledged. Such honorable, upright
/ old men stand as land marks in the commu-
nifty to the youth and middle aged; and their
lives do eventually tell on that community
wherein they dwell. They are eIemplsrs to
| the other generations, to show how far We de-
viate from or hold to the principles OF recti-
| tude; and the last of this generation will stand
| forth to the next generation as odd In some
| respects as he to US. He was much esteemed
| throughout the township and extensively Ia the
Society of Friends, whereof he was member .
