This information on Joel Darling is from the History of Washington County and the St. Croix Valley, by J. Fletcher Williams, 1881, page 434. If anyone is looking for information on him in Cazenovia, he ended up in Minnesota and here is the paragraph of information.
Joel M. Darling, one of the pioneers of the St. Croix Valley, and prominent in forwarding the interests of Stillwater and vicinity, was born in Madison County, New York. When but a child he came with his parents to Galena, Illinois; after making a home in that place several years, they removed to Wisconsin. In May, 1848, Mr. Darling came to Stillwater, his present home. For some time he was in the employ of Socrates Nelson, and was with him and others when they surveyed and laid out the village of Baytown, in 1852. Three years later, he opened a farm of one hundred and sixty acres in Dakota County, remaining on it until 1862, when he enlisted in Company F, Seventh Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. He engaged in the campaign against the Indians under General H. H. Sibley, afterwards continuing to serve until the close of the war. Soon after returning, he located at South Stillwater, where he has since given his attention to agriculture. Mr. Darling is a bachelor and makes his home with Antoine La Point.
Note: Antoine's wife, Sophia La Point, was Joel's sister.
Joel Darling and his sister, Sophia, are buried at Hazelwood Cemetery, Bayport, Washington County, Minnesota. There are no date on the cemetery index for Joel.
Hope this helps someone out there doing Darling research in Madison County.
