Charles was a farmer who lived in Bristol, RI. He was a Quaker and married Sarah Allen who was a fifth generation Quaker. Charles was loyal to Britian. During the American rebellion a rebel mob came to the door of their house and when Charles opened the door he was shot by George Babcock following which, his two sons, Ebenezer and Eleazer, were taken off as prisoners of war. Charles widow, Sarah, had to move five miles from the sea due to the activities of her son Ebenezer who was spying for Lord Percy in retaliation for his father's death. His mother Sarah was blamed for Ebenezer's spying although she had no part in it. Later on the rebels cropped Sarah's ears, branded both cheeks and put her in stocks for issuing forged Continental notes. She came to New Brunswick and was buried at Fanjoy Point on Grand Lake which is a Loyalist graveyard.
