| Notes |
- In 1689, John was a crewman on the ketch "Mary", of Marblehead. The ship was taken by the pirate, Thomas Pound. Although he was abandoning his wife and children, and his lawful way of life, Darby volunteered to join the pirate's crew. The rest of the men from the "Mary" made it back to Marblehead and notified the authorities. The militia from Marblehead and Salem set out to capture the famous Pound and his men. They were located at Tarpaulin Cove on the Vineyard, but refused to surrender to the militia. In the ensuing fight, most of the brigands were killed, including the neophyte pirate from Marblehead, John Darby. His estate was inventoried in Marblehead on January 17, 1690.
