'Following is a record of the children of Benjamin Darling and his two wives, as found in the Mendon Vital Records: ... Peter Darling, born June 12, 1720; married first, April 20, 1749, in Mendon, Priscilla Cook; married second, June 12, 1762, in Mendon, Anne Cook.'
NOTE: Neither marriage took place in Mendon - they are not recorded in Mendon Vital Records. The first is recorded in Smithfield VRs and the second in Cumberland VRs.
'Children with first wife, surname DARLING: ... PETER, born Mendon, MA 12 June 1720 (MVR, 66); living November 1770, perhaps buried Chestnut Hill Cemetery, Millville having died 31 January 1797 in the 74th year of his age (thus four years younger than his actual age; gravestone). He was not the husband of Priscilla Cook, Anne Cook or Amey Wilkenson, for that ... Peter was the son of Richard ([son of] Cornelius) Darling.'
