In addition to their nine known birth children, she and her husband also raised Sylvia Gertrude Darling (burial location not known to me). Local lore has it that she was actually born to Caroline Provis out of wedlock by one of the four older sons of Ira Darling and Jemima Freeman, but it is not known which one (Samson was only 10 years older than Sylvia, so can be ruled out as the culprit). She was raised by her grandparents as if she were their own daughter.
