Notes
- Thad and Juanita (Mildred) were married on Christmas Day 1939. Their license was issued on 23 Dec 1939 in Arkansas County. This record reports her full name as Mildred Juanita Rowland. She went by Juanita.

In the 1940 census Thad's wife is enumerated as Juanita. Her age reported in the 1940 census is 17, making her birth in about 1923. It is likely that the clerk who filled out their license put Thad's age inadvertently for both. Or more likely, this was a transcription problem, with the same number being carelessly drawn down for Juanita. The record image is not available for confirmation.

Kenneth McSwain, Thad's nephew who was a college roommate of their son Jimmie, provided some information on the configuration of the marriages and children. Ken was Jimmie's first cousin.
Thad married Juanita in 1939 and Jimmie's reported birthday is in 1940. Two cousins, Byrdie McSwain and Ken McSwain, told me that Shirley was the daughter of Mildred from an earlier marriage. I have not found records for that earlier marriage or a birth record for Shirley.
"Jimmie was the offspring of Uncle Thad. Shirley was the offspring of Mildred [?]. The other 2 girls, Sue, and Terrie, were full sisters."
-- Kenneth Wirt McSwain, Facebook Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 16 June 2017
"Shirley was born to Mildred prior to her marriage to Thad. The two younger girls belong to Thad and Mildred."
-- Byrdie McSwain, Facebook Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins 11 December 2018
One question this brings up, in regard to the 1940 census, where was Shirley in that census?
Juanita and Thad divorced, and Juanita married Johnie Rothenhofer in 1943.
