The Wolfe family arrived in Stewart County to purchase land. They purchased the Stacker farm near Bear Springs, but later found it to not have a clear deed. All but Charles Albert then returned to New York.
The June 1870 Census for Stewart County, District 2, Indian Mound lists Charles as 19 years old, employed in keeping the Cross Creek ferry. Charles was living with the John Elliott family that operated the ferry.
Charles married Mary Minerva Tippit, daughter of John & Elizabeth (Rorie) Tippit on September 13, 1876. The Reverend D. Brunson performed the ceremony at the Rorie home in Indian Mound. The Rories prepared and served the wedding supper that followed.

He served Stewart County as Constable; Magistrate (1912 - 1924), Sheriff (1882 - 1883) and along with Minerva was Assistant Postmaster. Charles also operated a dry goods store.
