Charles was the fourth son of eight sons and he had one younger sister, who was the ninth child.
Born in Macon, Georgia, Charles E. Rentz was married to Ella Varner on December 10, 1868 in McLennan County, Texas. Sometime after the 1870 US Census they moved from McLennan County to Jack County, Texas, where they are found in the 1880 US Census. By 1900 they have moved to Johnson County, Texas, and very soon after that Census they moved to Montezuma County, Colorado.
They had eight children, five sons and three daughters.
