Charity Ann was the daughter of John Wesley (1839-1873) and Sylvania Hiatt Green Knight (married 1st to William Green) (1840-1903), and maternal granddaughter of Louis Hiatt (1809-1857) and Charity Kimbrough Hiatt (1807-1862).

Charity was a housekeeper for Widower Brazillia Worth Clark in the 1880 census. She was listed as 18 years old and they married that year. She died in 1883, most likely in the childbirth of Albert Worth Clark. Either the Census age is incorrect or the cemetery record is wrong (as used for the facts above). A picture of the memorial should settle the birth year.
