He gave both states with regularity. I tend to believe the earliest record, as given by his father in the 1850 census, when Charles was but four years old, and the memory was fresh; I suspect that while his two older brothers were born in Missouri, Charles was born in Virginia.”[3470] Married: Mary McLearen[3471] or Mary M.
