Darby Chilcot - Rachel's Great Great Grandfather

Darby Chilcot was born in 1815 and passed away in 1887. He was married to Susan Shoup (1818-1901). In 1850 and 1860, Darby was a miller. In 1870 and 1880, he was a farmer and Susan was occupied by "keeping houses." Their children included: Sarah (1839), Humphrey (1840), Abraham (1843), Isabella (1844), Thomas (1846), Lucinda (1849), Ann(1851), Isaac (1852), Joseph (1855), Nancy (1856), Eliza (1859), Darby H. (1861), and John W. (1863).



They lived in Huntingdon County, PA in the towns of Hopewell, Tell, and Union.



At the time of the 1880 Census, it appears that Nancy Jane Mills (formerly Chilcot, born in 1856) and her 4 month old daughter Eliza B. was living with the family. The picture below is from 1876 of Darby, Susan, and the Mills.
