Between August 4, 1752, and Feb. 14, 1753, Sophia changed her name again by marriage to William Darling. Although the year is questioned, Robert, who was born in 1753, served in the American Revolution as his father did in the French and Indian War and two sons would do in the War of 1812. Robert Darling, if he was mistaken for another person of the same name, enlisted 25 April 1778 in Lt. James Smiths Company, 4th Maryland Regiment. Continuing in the same patriotic tradition, his father gave flour to feed General Washingtons soldiers who were guarding British prisoners of war. For the first time in the history of the DAR, Sophia Darlings name hit their records when Robert Darlings descendant, Patricia K. Miller, joined the DAR.
