Charles Theodore was born in Virginia; as a baby (probably following the death of his mother), his father moved to Warren County, Illinois and married Jane Elizabeth Gilmour when Charles was only a year old. Thus, Jane raised him but was not his biological mother.

He enlisted on 1 Jan 1862 in Monmouth IL as a private with the IL Company G, 1st Calvary. That enlistment ended when he was mustered out on 14 Jul 1862. He achieved the rank of Full Corporal, probably with a subsequent service. His first wife was Nancy Lewis whom he married 17 Mar 1863 in Warren Co IL. She died in 1878 in Mahaska Co IA. They had four children: Charles J, Emma L, Mary E, and Sarah, who was born in 1867 in Iowa and died before 1878.

Nancy died in 1878, and Charles married Hellen White. He was living in Atlantic at the time of his death.
