No specific record showing the date of Charles' birth has been found. However, it is estimated that he was born between 1827 and 1829 based on, first, his parents' marriage date in 1826 and, second, the census records of 1830 and 1840, showing that a male of the appropriate age was living with Charles' father at that time.
