Marriage Notes:
This may not be an accurate date. In the 1940 census Thelma is listed as "wife" but according to documentation she was not legally divorced from Wright until 1955. It is also possible that Thelma and Darwin never legally married although at the time of their death they are refered to as "husband and wife"
Darwin next married Louise Mary Corbin circa 1926. (Louise Mary Corbin was born on 13 May 1908 in Eaton, Gibson County, Tennessee, died on 5 May 1983 in Milan, Gibson county, Tennessee and was buried in Wilson Cemetery in Gibson County, Tennessee.)
