Charles Emerson (the family name recorded as "Emmerson" at his birth) was born in Boston in 1808, a son of William Emerson and Ruth (Haskins) Emerson. Regarded in the family as arguably the most promising of several bright siblings, he was cut down at the age of twenty-six; the mantle of greatness that had been expected to fall on his shoulders fell instead on his elder brother Waldo.
Charles was engaged, at the time of his death, to fellow-Concordian Elizabeth Hoar. She never married, but became an insightful observer of the remarkable Concord scene – as a de facto family member of the Emerson clan, and a friend to the likes of Thoreau.
Charles died at the home of his brother William in New York, in early May of 1836, of consumption.
