-- John --
John came to Wisconsin with two children born in New York, Richmond and Ranson. Thomas was born in Wisconsin in 1854 and we assume his mother was the same as Richmond's and Ranson's. It seems as though the mother died prior to 1860 when Sophia Hughes is listed as the wife of John.

-- Sophia --
The 1860 Shawano Co. census for Richmond Township lists John Darrrow's Family living next to the John Hughes Family. A review of the Darrow Children's ages shows that Sophia is too old to be his daughter and to young to be the mother of the other children. It is therefore assumed that Johns wife died prior to 1860 and he married Sophia Hughes. This union produced Katherine J. in 1862, Elizabeth in 1863 and possibly James in 1868.Richard, Ranson, and Thomas were sons from his first wife.
