Darrh Family Cemetery


Address:


Website:

History: In 1854, Mr. Wilson Calhoun was married to Hannah J. Darrh, daughter of Henry and Mary [Wilson] Darrh. Their children were: Elizabeth, deceased; LeClerc; Pliny; DuViene; Berenice, wife of John Warton; Anson; Vanine; and Catharine deceased." [1]

This is the extent of the knowledge of the Darrh family.

The cemetery contained no more than six family members and measured 12 ft x 16 ft. Field notes made in 1974, when the cemetery was first brought to the attention of the Historical Society, may be of interest to family researchers. " Mr. Calhoun's mother was a Darrh; the Darrh family moved out of the area and Darrh was also known as 'Derr'.
