"Black Humphrey" was married to Maria Darlington's oldest sister Margaret (Martha) Darlington. Their children were Letitia, John H, Margaret Jane, Catherine Ann, Robert, Sarah Maria, William, Humphrey James and Alice. Alice was born 15 July 1854, and Margaret is listed as a widow in the 1861 census, so "Black Humphrey" must have died some time between 1853 and 1861.
The Hughes and Darlington connections are quite convoluted.
