Charles Cameron Daigh was the second son of James Daigh and Elizabeth (nee Stith) Daigh. He was born about January 18, 1808 in Mason County, Virginia (now West Virginia) and grew to manhood there. Charles came to the Springfield vicinity of Sangamon County, Illinois about 1829, likely with several of his siblings. His parents and remaining siblings moved to the area about 1831. He served in the Black Hawk War of 1831-32 under General Whitesides. In 1831 he purchased an 80-acre homestead near Buckhart.
On September 20, 1832, he married Elizabeth Patton in Sangamon County. Elizabeth was born August 31, 1814 in Gallia County, Ohio just across the Ohio River from Mason County, Virginia. Family tradition is that Charles and Elizabeth knew each other before their families moved to Illinois about the same time.
Elizabeth and Charles had three sons in Illinois and then moved to Missouri in the summer of 1837, locating initially in the vicinity of Bowers Mill and Cave Springs in Barry County. They eventually settled on a farm about four miles NNE of Bowers Mill in what is now Red Oak Township, Lawrence County. They had five additional sons in Missouri. There may have been two daughters that died young. By 1860 Charles had purchased 320 acres of land.
When the Civil War broke out, Charles was forced to flee with his family in July 1861. They moved back to Sangamon County, Illinois, by way of Kansas and Iowa.
Charles sold the Missouri farm in 1866 and never moved back. In 1868, Charles bought a 108-acre farm 1.5 miles north of Grove City in Christian County, Illinois. He lived there until his death in 1884.
