Following his marriage, which occurred at Harrisburg and was performed by John Warren, he was given seventy acres of the original grant of four hundred acres to Thomas. As Smyth Darnel, he was a member of Captain Robert Patterson's Co., of Kentucky Militia, "on duty in the late Shawnee Expedition from 2 August to 20 November 1780." (Ky. State Hist. Reg., 40:422.)
This may be our John Warren, and appears that being that Harrisburg is in the Shenendoah Valley; he was a minister of the gospel. This same Darnall family has ties Prince George's County, Maryland and to the Swearingen family and later relocated to Bourbon County, Kentucky.
