Before Charles was nine years old, the first battle of the Revolutionary War had been fought. Two years later, his oldest brother David, a soldier, died in Valley Forge Hospital. When Charles was sixteen, he was also called into the Continental Army. Fortunately, he saw no action as Cornwallis surrendered before he arrived at the front. When he was eighteen, his brother, Francis, died of wounds received in the Revolutionary War
Charles was living on EPPERSON MOUNTAIN in Albemarle County, Virginia with his wife and four children when his father, David, died. His father left all his property to his wife, Hannah, during her lifetime and thereafter one-half to Charles and one-half to his brother, John. At his father's death, Charles moved into the family house with his mother. His sons Pedro and Charles were born here.
Hannah, Charles mother, only kept the house for three years after her husband's death. Charles purchased his brother John's share of the property. Then Charles and his mother sold the plantation on Epperson Mountain and about 1803 moved to Hawkins County, Tennessee.
