Biographical Sketch of Marwood Darlington, 1912-1992

Marwood Darlington was born in West Chester, PA, on January 14, 1912, the youngest son of

Abraham Brinton and C. Anita (Dutton) Darlington. Marwood was a graduate of West Chester

High School and Taylor Business School in Philadelphia. His interest in historical research and

genealogy led him to join Chester County Historical Society in 1935 when he was twenty-three.

He was elected to the Board of Managers in 1938, but resigned to accept the position of

assistant librarian. During his tenure, Mr. Darlington co-edited and published with Bart

Anderson a historical and genealogical periodical, Chester County Collections. He also served

as corresponding secretary of the Society from 1837 to 1943, when he resigned his position to

join the Army.

Mr. Darlington’s war service and a career at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., took

him away from Chester County for almost twenty years, but h never lost interest in the county or

the Society. He often sent information and items of interest to Chester County that he discovered

while working or travelling. He began compiling an updated Darlington genealogy, based on

Gilbert Cope’s Genealogy of the Darlington Family published in 1900. Eventually it grew to fill

ten large notebooks and a three-foot long shelf in the Society’s library.

Marwood Darlington returned to Chester County in 1962. He worked part-time as an assistant

librarian at CCHS and on his own as a genealogist and researcher. He retired from the Society in

1976, but he continued on as a library volunteer, completing many projects and sharing his

extensive knowledge of Chester County history. Mr. Darlington conducted an active private

genealogy research practice and was a familiar face not only at CCHS. But also at the Historical

Society of Pennsylvania, the State Archives at Harrisburg, and other places where his research

took him.

He was a quiet, gentle man whose hobbies were music and travel. When young he studied violin

and voice and for many years sang in the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church choir in

Washington, D.C. His biography of Patrick Gilmore, a nineteenth-century Irish band leader, was

published in 1950. His trips were usually planned around historic as well as scenic sites. It was a

source of pride that he had visited all fifty U.S. states as well as Canada and Europe. He never

married and continued to live in the family home at 309 West Union Street in West Chester with

his brother Maurice. It was the same house that his parents inherited from his mother’s parents

and where he lived the rest of his life. Marwood Darlington died on August 26, 1992 at Friends

Hall in West Chester following an illness.
