Abstract
Manuscript daybooks and ledgers kept by Joseph Darling and Samuel Darling during their efforts as a pharmacist and physician, respectively, in New Haven, Connecticut, 1797-1850.
Biographical / Historical
Joseph Darling (1759-1850) (Yale 1777) and Samuel Darling (1751-1842) (Yale 1769) were the sons of Thomas Darling (1719-1789) (Yale 1740) and Abigail Noyes Darling (1723-1797).
Both Joseph and Samuel Darling resided in New Haven, Connecticut--the former, a druggist, the latter, a physician.
