Charles married Lucinda McAdams on 31 Jan 1854 in Sabine Parish, Louisiana. Lucinda was born about 1836 in Alabama; died about 1879; was buried in Clyde Cemetery, Zwolle, Sabine Parish, Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Shown in FindAGrave, on a memorial created by SFC Ret Duffie & Kathy Moore, as born in Tucakoosa, Alabama to James McAdams and Elizabeth Levendall. Her date of birth is shown as 1832, and her date of death shown as 1879. Buried at the Clyde Cemetery. If her date of death is correct, it appears she and Charles Darnell separated before her death, as she is not listed in their home at the time of the 1870 census. Additionally, Charles remarried for a third time in June 1879.

On the 1850 Union Parish, Louisiana census, a 16 year old Lucinda McAdams (born ca 1834) can be found in the home of Thomas M. and Nancy McAdams, both born in South Carolina. If Duffie Moore is correct, this is not our Lucinda.
