CHARLES SAMUEL WALTER (1829-1913) was born at Linden, Va., the son of John T. and Laura Haines Walter. He joined the Confederate Army in April, 1861, serving in Company I, 49th Va. Reg't., until he was wounded and captured at Seven Pines in May, 1862. Three months later (Aug. 5) he was exchanged at Aikin's Landing in the belief that he would no longer be of military use to the South, but he returned to his company. No further records are available of his service or discharge. // He had married Miss Amiss of Rappahannock county and had a family when he joined the army at the age of 32. His wife died, leaving seven children and in 1876 he married Sarah E. Gaines of Gaines Crossroads, by whom he had four more children. He lived for a while near Culpeper, then at Huntly in Rappahannock Co., where he was a stock dealer and operated a store with his son.
