Some Descendants of Stephen Darden
This chart represents a theoretical line of descent from Stephen Darden to Mary Darden Johnston. While the siblings of direct ancestors are included, those siblings' own lines of descent beyond their children are not. The exception is the sons of Stephen and Elizabeth Carr Darden, any one of whom may have been the father of our Stephen Darden of William's Creek. Their children and grandchildren have been included below. Click on hyperlinks for that individual's - or couple's - notes.
The Dardens were a prolific family, the record is incredibly confused, and the vast majority of my research was superficial at best. Of all the families on this web site, I have the least confidence in the accuracy of the Dardens. The reader is encouraged to regard all the familial lines and relationships described in these pages with caution. I've included the Dardens in this genealogy only because any information may help another family researcher, but it should all be regarded as a starting point. Verify, verify, verify.
There is a FamilyTree DNA Darden Project.
