Charles was not found after the 1880 U.S. Census and in 1900 his mother stated that only 6 of her 11 children were living and six were listed in the household and no Charles, so the assumption would be that he had died before this enumeration.[2]
The Charles Burgin that was married to Sally Kelly Gattis and father of Frank Mitchell Burgin (1904-1982) was actually the son of Rufus Bradshaw Burgin and Martha Matilda Green. The information from this original GEDCOM upload was incorrect.
