    Notes:

    "Saturday, September 20, 1890 - Port Jefferson - Everybody at Port Jefferson is in deep sympathy with Captain Selah Darling who has bad trouble enough to drive a less robust man crazy. Ill fortune has been steadily in his wake, frequently overtaking and wrecking his vessel and causing him heavy losses. About a year ago, he commanded the schooner vessel John Eastwood. she was loaded with lime one Sunday night and took fire in the Hudson river, opposite Sing Sing. The vessel was a total loss. Less than a month afterward he lost the schooner Globe, which went ashore near Wading River. She was also a total wreck. Last week he lost the schooner Ben Franklin off Falkner Island. He had but recently purchased her and spent $500 making repairs. He had no sooner got ashore from the wreck and reached the village than he was appraised of the death that morning of his wife from cancer."

    After the death of his wife, Sarah Jane, 31 Aug 1890 in Port Jefferson, Selah married Agnes Jane Wheeler in 1892, with whom he fathered Charles Selah, Harry Brown, Maude Evelyn, Elsie Stuart, Amy Hope and Howard Smith Darling.
