Notes:
Darby Field, an early settler, initially made his appearance in Boston, Massachusetts in 1636 before moving to Durham, New Hampshire by 1638. In Durham, he operated a ferry service between Durham Point and Newington, navigating across Little Bay. Field was recognized for his linguistic skills, particularly as a translator for Native American languages. His residences included Marblehead in 1637 and Oyster River in 1639. In the same year, he actively participated in the local community, as evidenced by his signature on the Exeter Combination. Field was a dynamic figure, deeply involved in the contemporary matters of his time. By 1638, he had mastered the Native American language and frequently worked as an interpreter.
His adventurous spirit led him to be the pioneer European to climb Mt. Washington, situated in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Despite his early achievements, Field's later years were shadowed by mental health issues. As per the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, his vibrant but brief life was eventually overshadowed by mental illness.
Mt. Field, which stands at 4,326 feet within the White Mountains' Willey Range and adjacent to Crawford Notch, is named in honor of Darby Field. He is famously recognized for his 1642 expedition of Mt. Washington, a venture driven by his quest for minerals, specifically diamonds. However, he only found quartz, leading to profound disappointment. His ensuing erratic behavior resulted in his confinement for the safety of himself and others. A court ruling mandated that Strawberry Bank, New Hampshire (later known as Portsmouth), should contribute financially to the costs associated with his detention and care.Darby married UNKNOWN, Agnes about 1630.
