Biography

In 1850, Charlotte is listed as the head of the household. Clark (age 22) and Eliza C. (age 13) Scruton are both living in the same household. Charlotte's husband, Benjamin, is not listed in the census, but there is a Benjamin O. Scruton who married Nancy Collins in 1831. If Charlotte and Benjamin were divorced, then this household makes sense except for the fact that Eliza was born in 1837, which could mean: a) She isn't Charlotte's daughter; b) She is Charlotte's daughter by another marriage -- but then her last name should be different; c) The Benjamin who married Nancy Collins is not the same Benjamin. There is also the chance that Charlotte (Scruton) Jones and Eliza C. Scruton are the same person -- it would have been odd for Benjamin and his second wife to name their daughter "Charlotte" if that was the name of Benjamin's ex-wife.
