Hi Norm,

I am related to your Atlanta Darling Lyle Drew through Nancy Elizabeth Darling Dodd Collins, her younger sister, who left Groton, Vermont in 1837 for Illinois.

Elizabeth married my gggg grandfather Norris Dodd.

Would love to hear from you and about your family.

Hi LadyLyle and RedFox,

I am a g-g-g-g grandson of Nancy Elizabeth Darling, sister of Atlanta Darling, and  her first husband Norris (maybe William Norris) Dodd.  I am so happy to have stumbled upon you all!  I also found that William, Sr. to Alexandria, Virginia to Groton, Vermont, and forward to yours (Norris Lyle for naming pattern) and would like to know more about family to present generation. I have traced Darling family back on both sides through Colonial Massachusetts to George Darling in Scotland. I had hoped to go to Groton and Illinois to visit cemeteries one day and am glad to see Ladyfox has taken the trip to Vermont. Norris Dodd is my brick wall. I have found nothing about him prior to his marriage in 1840. He enlisted in the 2nd Scots Regiment in the Civil War which was a Chicago regiment and far from Kewanee and before that Elmira where they lived. He was born in New York but contrary to family tradition (who claim Puritan ancestry) he may have been a Scotland or Scots-Irish Dodd. Would love to hear from you about Lyles, Darlings and Dodds!
