2. 1840 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #27-28 of 80; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

1840 MS Yalobusha Co. Roll 219 pp. 283-284 Ln. 30 Joseph S Darby 200 010 - 000 010 000000-001000 _______

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

2 white males 4 or under 1835-1840 = Leonidas (b. 1838/9)
= Columbus (b. 1837/8)

1 white male 20-29 1810-1820 = Josiah (b. ca. 1815)

1 white female 20-29 1810-1820 = Susannah (b. 1815/6)

1 female slave 24-35 1804-1816 = ?

This has to be our subject. He's listed two lines below his father, Basil DARBY (æ 50-60, plus family and six slaves), had to have been in Mississippi in 1840, would have been in his 20's, and should have two young sons — and Basil is not known to have had a son, Joseph. It all fits — and I don't find him elsewhere.
