Charles was listed in the 1860
Census in Macon, Bibb County, Georgia. He was born in 1836, in
Georgia, and had real estate worth $3,000 and personal property
worth $6,000. He was a merchant, with a wife, Eleanor (born 1839 in
Georgia). Living with them was Eleanor Blake (his wife's mother?),
born in 1800 in Georgia and possessing $16,000 personal property. In requesting the appointment of
Charles, Frederick Sims stated the Charles was not liable for
military duty. He was also stated to have excellent business
qualifications. Frederick wrote that he had "earnestly
solicited" Charles to accept the position and Charles had
agreed. My unconfirmed theory is that Charles was a close relative
of Frederick's (to be confirmed when I find the 1850 Census).
