  • Notes 
    • In the 1870 Federal Census, Charles & Clara are ages 25 & 20, living with his parents, Ellery & Lydia, in Ward 5, Providence, RI. Charles's middle initial appears to be F.

      By 1880 Ellery has died. In the census Charles's age is given as 32, and Clara is 26. They are boarding in the home of Margaret Arnold at 180 High St., District 29, Providence, RI. Coincidentally, Jeremiah & Hannah Remington are also there, with their daughter and grandson. However, they are not closely related to Charles's family.

      Info from Joanne Bushey, a descendant: "On Aug. 21, 1862 he enlisted as a private to fight for the Union in the Civil War. He declared himself to be 18 years old at the time, but he was probably 17. He served in the Massachusetts Company A, 3rd Cavalry Regiment until he was discharged in May of 1865."

      Joanne has a pair of spurs which were assumed to be owned by Charles.
