T.B. A.A Co, old book of court proceedings found in cellar of Land Record Office, Annapolis , MD:
"At a court of our Sovereigne Lady, Queene Ann of Great Britain exc, held at the City of Annapolis for Ann Arundell County, the Ninth day of August, in the Eighth Yar of her Matyes reign e, ex Anno Drie, 1709." "Josiah Darby by consent of his mother Rebecca Jones, binds himself to Benjamin Gaither till he attaine the age of twenty years, he being now fifteene years of age, and the said Benjamin Gaither to teach him to build tobacco houses and sett up tobacco hhds, and learne or cause the said Josiah Darby to read in the bible and at the expiration of the aforesaid terme to give him clothes according to Act of Assembly in such cases mad e provided" (August Court, page 76.) This also confirms Josiah and Josias Darby are one and t he same.

Lived in Prince George Co, MD.

Children listed in Parish Register for Queen Ann, p. 314, Prince George Co, MD at the Marylan d Historical Society. These entries, added to the fact that Joseph and Rebecca of Ann Arunde had a son Josias, b 16895 prove quite conclusively that Josias, father of George, was this son of Joseph and Rebecca, for whom he names a son and daughter. In his will Josias named both Benjamin and Josiah whose births are not given in the register record and as Josiah is given the home place, he was probably the oldest. On the other hand neither children Joseph or Rebecca are named in the will, so they must have died before their father. He may have bee n still in Ann Arundel Co, and not have gone to Prince George until just before George's birth. Possibly Josias, Joseph, and Josiah are all the same name. (Darby Book by Rufus M. Darb y 1953)
