Darren’s great-grandfather William was the son of John Riley Burrows, Jr. and Nancy/Nance Wells/Welles Cory. Abbie was the daughter of John Hull, who was English, and of Eliza Johnson.

Darren’s father had been described as being of Chiricahua Apache Native American descent on his own father’s side, and Romani descent on his own mother’s side. It is not clear if this is accurate.
