The death report gives Charles's birthplace as Taunton, while his official death record says New Bedford. In 1845 when Charles is listed as a crew member at age 14, his hometown is given as Dartmouth. Since New Bedford is the major port city adjacent to Dartmouth, it is reasonable that family members would think of this as his place of birth and residence in America. Taunton was nearby but not as close as Dartmouth, and I have found no evidence that Charles was from that town (see notes).
