Another researcher gives Charles dates 1789-1855 - I wonder if those weren’t estimates that were never updated? Or if there is some confusion with William??? - because he was given Nancy McLaughlin for a wife and the children I have listed above for William.
I have absolutely nothing on Charles besides these dates.
