  Commentary: DWD 4.78 William Darwin's wife has her name spelt both Talitha in her second marriage record in 1852 and Tilitha in the will of her father John Wallace (May 1841, Moulton, Lawrence Co., AL) and I have opted to show the biblical form of Talitha here. Her mother, Jane (Blackburn) Wallace was the sister of Sally (Blackburn) Darwin which would make Talitha and her husband, William first cousins. William B. Darwin fails to appear on the 1850 census for Lowdnes Co., MS, where Talitha is recorded as Tabitha Darwin along with their three children and she gives her age as 27 along with a birthplace of Alabama. The Wallace family records suggest that she was born 1817 in Tennessee and that the family with six children moved to Alabama a year or so later where her last two siblings were born in 1819 and 1821. I have assumed that William B. Darwin died around 1848 as his last child was born 1846 and I wonder if he went along with his brother, Gideon Darwin, at this period of the gold rush to California in search of gold when an accident possibly befell him?
