QRYTEXT: I am trying to find any info about a Charles R. Calhoun b :
1852 unknown d: Jan 1939 in Ralston , Oklahoma .
Charles was supposedly orphaned at a very young age and raised by an
unknown uncle . He joined the U.S. Civil war and was a wagon driver at
about age 15. After the civil war he was said to have lived in Missouri
, and then he did move to Oklahoma for the last land rush . I have no
names for Charles birth parents , and no known location for his birth .
He was married twice ; first wife unknown believed to of had at least 1
daughter with first wife unknown , first wife passed away unknown .
Second wife was a widower named Frances S. Mossberger , maiden name
