Lewis Leary and James Hughes: leery butt with hug and inspiration

As a followup to my previous post, note the following excerpt from Lewis Leary's wiki page:
Lewis Sheridan Leary (March 17, 1835 – October 20, 1859), an African-American harnessmaker from Oberlin, Ohio, joined John Brown's unsuccessful raid on Harpers Ferry, where he was killed. He was the first husband of Mary Patterson. By her second marriage to Charles Henry Langston, she became the future maternal grandmother of poet Langston Hughes.
So, note from Langston Hughes wiki page:
James Mercer Langston Hughes (February 1, 1902 – May 22, 1967)
Note the following regarding his birthday:  
  •  February 1 - is the  32nd day of the year... 333 remaining  (334 in leap years).
So he was born on the 32nd day with 333 remaining, hence an addition to the "Off By One" pattern-cluster, as in one off from the 33rd day with 333 remaining.  Now note the following regarding his date of death:
  • May 22 - there  are 223 days remaining until the end of the year.
So one off from the day of the year where 222 days remain!!  
Now the surname Hughes gives a much different communication: hug... inspiration.
