Origins of the name MCCAULEY
Cauley, MacAulay, MacAwley, Macauley, Mac Auley, Mac Awley, etc..is recorded in Keatings History as chief of Calraidhean-Chala. Here he tells us: 'The fair Mac Auley rules over the entire of the ports of Calry'. This includes the parish of Ballyloughloe, barony of Clanlonan in Westmeath, and ports along the Shannon River. According to Mac Geoghegan, they held part of the barony of Kilcoursey in Kings County. The Irish sept of the name above were known as 'Lords of McGawleys Country' and are again found in the Four Masters works as 'Chiefs of Calry'. Anciently descended from Niall of the Nine Hostages they took their name from Auley, a descendant of Niall. Specific pedigrees on this great family may be found in the genealogical office in Dublin. Another completely separate family was a branch of the MacGuires of Co. Fermanagh, where we find the barony of Clanawley named in their honor. Most anciently this family was 'Mac Amhlaoibh'. Another possibility is descent from the Scottish settlers here, particularly in the north of Ireland near Belfast.
In the 17th century Mc Aully was a principal name of Antrim, and Mac Awly was a principal name of Fermanagh, while McAwly was found in Sligo at that time.
A century ago the name was given as most prominent in Antrim and Donegal, where the name still remained one of Ulster. Arms for families of the name are found in the Irish Book of Arms. One motto for Macaulay found there was 'Dulce Periculum'."
Source: "The Book of Irish Families, Great and Small", by Michael O'Laughlin, 1997, Irish Genealogical Foundation:
This name is spealt in many different ways, the most usual being MacAuley, MacCauley, Cawley, Macaulay, MacGawley and Magawley. There are two main Irish septs of MacAuley etc. entirely different in origin and location. One is Mac Amhalghaidh, i.e. son of Auley, an old Irish personal name now obsolete. This sept was at one time of considerable importance, being lords of a wide territory in the west of Co. Westmeath and north of Offaly; in the Elizabethan Fiants this is called "McGawley's Country", the centre of which was Ballyhoughnoe in Co. Westmeath. The Four Masters describe them as Chiefs of Calry. They are descended from Niall of the Nine Hostages, their surname being taken from his descendant Auley, who flourished in the nineteenth century. Their pedigree is recorded in the Office of Arms, Dublin Castle, in great detail: the Chief of the Name a century ago was Caount Magawley Cerati, son of the Prime Minister of the Empress Maria Louisa. Up till that time they preserved a close connection with their homeland in Co. Westmeath.
The other sept was called in Irish Mac Amhlaoibh. They are a branch of the MacGuires and belong to Co. Fermanaogh, where they have given their name to the barony of Clanawley. It should be noted that Mac Amhlaoibh is also the name of a quite distinct Munster sept, the anglicized form there being MacAuliffe. The same Gaelic form is used by the Scottish clan of Macaulay. Many of the Irish born Macauleys and MacAuleys, particularly those living in the counties adjacent to Belfast, are descendants of the Scottish settlers in Ulster. *Source: "Irish Families" By Edward MacLysaght, Crown Publishers, 1957 repr. 1972
Joseph DARBY
The earliest known progenitor of this Darby family was Joseph Darby, who in 1696, was living in Ann Arundel Co., Maryland. We find mention at earlier dates of a number of Darbys in Maryland. Samuel Darby came in 1678, evidently a well off man, who brougt over 19 men in 1678, may have been Joseph's father. His land evidently was in Ann Arundel County. Note that Joseph named his first son Joseph (after himself) and the second son Samuel (probably after his father). The data regarding children found in Register of All Hollows' Parish, originally South River, page 36 & 37, Anne Arundel County, at Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore, MD. *Source: Genealogy of the Darby Family, George Darby, 1726 - 1788 ofMontgomery Co., Maryland, by R.

Josias DARBY
Variously spelled Josiah and Josias.
A small number of original wills, priceless naturally, to the descendants of the men who made them. Many of these are dilapidated from time, dampness, etc., but no matter what their condition they are absolutely priceless these wills, the descendants of Josiah Darby have much to congratulate themselves upon in the fact that his has been found, with a personal seal attached, too mutilated to show what it is, unfortunately, but proving that it was his own, and not an official state seal, by the smallness of its size. It should be distinctly understood that "making his mark" to a document in the early colonial days, meant absolutely nothing illiterate in the maker of it. The clerk of the court would write as his client dictated, even down to the signature in many cases, the latter merely making his mark to legalize the transaction...A Ridgely was one of his witnesses and Benjamin Gaither had been his guardian. Notice that the name (Darby) is spelled both with and without an 'e'. Both Ridgely and Gaither are among the oldest and most distinguished names in Maryland. The two families are closely related and connected in many ways and one of their family names is "Rezin" which we also find later in George Darby's descendants. This name is often found in the Ann Arundel County families..

It would seem Joseph died intestate, as otherwise he would have appointed his child's guardian. Source: Genealogy of the Darby Family, George Darby 1726 - 1788 of Montgomery County, MD. by R. C. Darby, 1914
At Ann Arundel County Court House, Liber W. L.8, page 237, dated 1702 to 1706 is found the following deed:
Bequest of JOSEPH DARBY and REBECCA, his wife, of Ann Arundel County, 1705, it is recorded that the said JOSEPH andREBECCA have given and do give unto their son, SAMUEL DARBY one young bay mare branded on the rear buttock with an horso their son JOSIAS one white fly bitten mare and a sow with the same earmarks, etc.y born in 1695, thus being about the time of his fathers' gift, he got the "old fly bittenmare" that could not possibly hurt him, while Samuel, then a young man of about sixteen, gets a young mare.
OATH OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE NEW REPUBLIC
In the year 1777-8 two proclamations were issued commanding all men over 18 years of age to declare their allegiance to the new government by taking the following oath.
"I (Name) do swear that I do not hold myself bound to yield any allegiance or obedience to the King of Great Britain, his heirs or successors, and that I will be true and faithful to the State of Maryland, and will to the utmost of my power, support and maintain and defend the freedom and independence thereof and the government as now established against all open enemies and secret and traitorous conspiracies and will use my utmost endeavor to disclose and make known to the Governor of some one of the Judges or Justices thereof, all treasons, or traitorous conspiracies, attempts or combinations against the State or government thereof, which may come to my knowledge."
At the D.A.R. Library in Washington D.C. are three Volumes of"Unpublished Maryland Revolutionary Records" Volume III give returns of those taking this oath of Allegiance. In returns of Gerrard Briscoe is Josiah Darby (No. 22, page 1); in returns of Edward Burgess are George Darby (No. 230, page 19) and Basil Darby (No. 230, page 19); in returns of William Deakins, Jr. is Asa Darby (No. 4, page 39); and in returns of Elisha Williams is Benjamin Darby (No. 141, page 78).

Josiah Darby is listed in the DAR Patriot Index as a Revolutionary War soldier.

The book also gives some land records pertaining to George Darby and his sons.
George Darby lived in the Sandy Springs neighborhood and Richard Thomas Jr. and Sr. were witnesses to his will. Richard Thomas and son are among the founding fathers of the Sandy Springs Meeting House community of Quakers, being part of the first settlements near Sandy Springs, soon after 1700. The tract "Snowden's Manor was dated 1715, Bealls Manor adjoining it on the South, five years later. The Charles and Benjamin, a tract of land beginning at a point not far from Hawling's River and extending in a very meandering direction, nearly thorugh the heart of the neighborhood, bears the date of 1718. In and among and around several of these tracts, an independent grant of near 2,000 acres was made to Major John Bradford, the 10th day of August 1716, and called Charley Forrest, which must certainly be regarded as one of the chief centres of settlement. In 1830 William Darby published a sketch of the Sandy Springs neighborhood in a popular magazine of the period, saying that when the house standing on Charley Forrest was first erected, it was the only framed building between here and Canada.
