Introduction
Hello Eve,
Is your husband in the society’s Scottish Prisoners Project at FamilyTreeDNA? There is also a Dennis Darling of Braintree project which seeks George Darling descendants to confirm that these two men are unrelated. At present there is only one George Darling descendant and he is in both projects.
Best wishes
Andrew

Sandy,
My husband descends from SPOW George Darling through his son John Darling (1658-1719) and Naomi Flanders (out of wedlock). His line proceeds through:
John Flanders Darling 1683-1753
Son of John Darling I- Lt John Flanders Darling 1716-1795
Son of John Flanders Darling- John Darling 1744-1830
Son of Lt John Flanders Darling- Robards Darling 1765-1840
Son of John Darling- John Darling 1789-1855
Son of Robards Darling- Dr. John Brock Darling 1822-1905
Son of John DarlingWe would be delighted to share the Y-DNA confirmation of this line and compare what we have learned from other descendants of George.

Someone asked about the two books I recommended whether they could expect to find their ancestor's name in them. The answer is probably not, but the fact is that records about any of these specific individuals are hard to find. However, what you will gain from these books is knowledge of your ancestor's shared experiences ... which in some ways may be more informative than finding their personal names. Hope this helps!

I had never heard of the SPOWs until I did the Familytree Y dna test to find out more about my paternal ancestry. The results came back and said that at a genetic distance of 15 (about 350-400 years ago) my surname was Chisholm and they were Scottish.I called FTDNA and said that I can trace my ancestry to 1659 in Salisbury Ma. and they were English. He said dna does not lie and I said there weren't any Scottish people in America in 1659 and he said well I don't know what to tell you. That's when I came across the names of SPOWs on the Unity. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw prisoner #13 Duncan Chisholm. I then got a direct match to a known descendant named Chesemore- UNBELIEVABLE !Almost 400 years later. Thanks to all who donate their time and effort to the SPOW Society.
