The earliest records of the family show theDarwinsto have been substantial yeomen residing on the northern borders ofLincolnshire, close toYorkshire. The name is now very unusual inEngland, but I believe that it is not unknown in the neighbourhood of Sheffield and inLancashire. Down to the year 1600 we find the name spelt in a variety of ways Derwent, Darwen, Darwynne, etc. It is possible, therefore, that the family migrated at some unknown date from Yorkshire,Cumberland, or Derbyshire, where Derwent occurs as the name of a river. The first ancestor of whom we know was one William Darwin, who lived, about the year 1500, at Marton, near Gainsborough. His great grandson, Richard Darwyn, inherited land at Marton and elsewhere, and in his will, dated 1584. [download]
