Patrick Darcy and his son, John Darcy are buried side by side in the Hanover Presbyterian Church cemetery.
Information on Patrick Darcy was found in the History of Morris County, New Jersey with Illustrations, and Biographical Sketches of Prominent Citizens and Pioneers, 1739-1882; New York: W.W. Munsell & CO., 1882
Patrick Darcy voluntarily enlisted and was included in an independent organization, which was raised entirely in the county, and won for itself an enviable distinction for its long and faithful service and brilliant achievements, was the company known as Arnold's Light Horse on 5/10/1775.
Information on John Darcy was found in the History of NJ Medicine and of its Medical Men by Stephen Wickes, MD, published in 1879.
John Darcy was enlisted as a Surgeon's Mate, and was commissioned as such under Spencer's Regt., Continental Army, 1/1/1777. The regiment was under the immediate command of George Washington and was known to General Lafayette. When General Lafayette visited the US in 1824, he inquired about the "young Surgeon's Mate Darcy". Subsequent to the war, he was awarded bounty lands in Ohio by the US Government. Dr. Darcy settled in Hanover and practiced medicine. He married Phebe Miller on 4/7/1806 and had one son (who died at a young age) and three daughters.
