"Joseph Darrow, son of Eunice (Meacham) and George, born March 27, 1775, came to Ohio when a single man with Squire David Hudson, as a surveyor. Squire Madison's party came first to Cleveland and from there up the Cuyahoga River to Boston Township near the southeast corner of Hudson. They landed at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River in 1799. Joseph surveyed much of the land in what was then Trumbull County, including the first road from Hudson to Canton. Joseph's name appears with that of his brother George, as voters in the first town election of officers held in Hudson, April 5, 1802. Joseph was a democrat in politics, and a justice of the peace for many years. He was a hunter and trapper in the early days, and was a member of the Masonic Lodge at Hudson. He was liberal in religion holding to the Universalist belief.
Joseph married Sally Prior in Hudson April 17, 1803, and they settled on the farm in Darrowville, Ohio, which was razed in 1958 to make way for a new highway. Joseph died November 13, 1856 at eighty-one years of age."
