I'm researching my sister-in-law's Charlton ancestry, and using census records I think I've found her great-great-grandfather. Posting the information here in case anyone has additional information or leads.
James C. Charlton is the person in question. I've tracked him and his family through three census years, but have no other information or anything other than circumstances and locations linking him to my sister-in-law's great-grandfather, James Joseph Charlton, supposedly born around 1855 in Limestone County, Alabama.
The census records tell an interesting story, but many pieces are missing. James C. Charlton was born circa 1806 in Tennessee. He was married to Sarah ____, born circa 1819 in Tennessee or Alabama. James C. was a house carpenter.
In the 1850 census, the family is living in Limestone County, Alabama. Children are Mary, Nancy, George, Samuel, Sarah, and Martha, all born in Alabama.
In the 1860 census, Sarah and the children (George, Samuel, Nancy, Sarah, Martha, Elizabeth, and James, all born in Alabama) are living in Tishomingo County, Mississippi. James is to be found in the Alabama Penitentiary in Wetumpka, Coosa County, serving a sentence for manslaughter.
In the 1870 census, James (spelled Charleton) is back with Sarah and the family in Tishomingo County, Mississippi. Children are Mary, Elizabeth, James J. (all born Alabama), and youngsters George and Samuel (born Mississippi).
I haven't yet been able to trace any of the family beyond these census listings, other than James J. I believe he is James Joseph Charlton, my sister-in-law's great-grandfather, who married Lena Jane Hill and raised four children in Arkansas, mainly in Phillips County.
I would love to confirm my suspicions, and link this family to any other Charlton/Charleton families living in the area during these years. I have posted a "work-in-progress" family tree at http://www.nebula5.org/charlton/cfamtree.html

Regina -
Charles Albert Charlton's parents were Jesse M. Charlton (a Civil War veteran) and Rebecca Elizabeth Hale, both born in Indiana. He was the 9th of 10 children.
He did have a wife named Ethel, and after he died in the mining accident, Ethel married his elder brother, William Henry Charlton.
William Henry Charlton was my great-grandfather, and he divorced my great-grandmother (Susann Carolyn Steely) to marry Ethel. I have been researching this family for more than 20 years, and have photos of Charles' parents and siblings, a copy of Charles' death certificate, and several newspaper articles about the mining accident, in addition to many other Charlton photos, information on his ancestors and on his siblings and their descendants. I do not have any information about Ethel beyond her two marriages and her eventual divorce from my great-grandfather, and I have found no evidence that she had children from her marriage to Charles. I do not know her maiden name.
I am happy to share what I have, so please do not hesitate to contact me directly. I have attached a copy of Charles' death certificate.

Wanted to share and find possible links.
I am not sure if Hannah was born Bolam Darlington, Durham or Bolam, Northumberland at this time.I assume Darlington as it is closer to where William was born.
Source GRO Index has William Hall marriage listed Dec 1850 which is unreadable. It also has entry for Hannah Charlton also unreadable for Dec quarter 1850.
I do have birthcertificate of Thomas Hall with Hannah's name, so am certain she married William Hall

Hello,
If you are an adult male paternally descended from the Anglo-Scottish Border family Charlton, and have ever considered getting your Y chromosome tested, you may do so at a substantial discount by joining the Border Reiver DNA Project at Family Tree DNA.
The Border Reiver DNA Project is a serious genetic and genealogical study started this March by two customers of Family Tree DNA, James V. Elliott and David B. Strong. Although it began as a study of the Elliott Border Reiver family, it has since expanded to include members of other Border Reiver families, including a direct descendant of the legendary Border Reiver, Johnnie Armstrong, a senior officer of the Clan Hall Society, Dixons, Irvings, Kerrs, Littles, Taylors, Carruthers, Davisons, Ogles, Hunters and others. Members of all Border Reiver families are welcome now, and we emphatically encourage your participation.
The home page for our study, which includes many links to other web pages about the Scots, the Britons, the Border Reivers and their ancestors, may be accessed at the URL below:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gallgaedhil/elliott_border_reive...
We are conducting our study of the Border Reiver families using Y chromosome DNA markers, because the Y chromosome is passed, just like a surname, from father to son with very few changes over many generations. That makes these DNA markers an ideal tool for tracing paternal descent and, by extension, the history of families.
The goals of the Border Reiver DNA Project are as follows:
1) James Leyburn, in his excellent book "The Scotch-Irish: A Social History", characterized the ancestry of the Anglo-Scottish Border people as a diverse mixture of Picts, Brythonic Celts, Scotti, Irish Gaels, both Danish and Norwegian Vikings, Angles and Saxons, troops and settlers from all over the Roman Empire - as well as Normans, Flemish and many others. We intend to use Y chromosome analysis to explore the ancestral origin of Border Reiver descendants, both individually (if we can) and as a group. We have already done substantial reading about both the history of Europe and the latest developments in population genetics, and have compiled a database of more than 350 likely Border Reiver descendants obtained from public databases at Family Tree DNA and elsewhere.
The URL below will give you some idea of the extent of our ongoing study:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gallgaedhil/dna_by_haplogroup.htm
2) The Border Reivers rode during a period of extreme chaos in the history of the Anglo-Scottish Border. Many young mothers were widowed, and many children were orphaned. The social customs of the Reivers, affected by a need for self-reliance and the shifting circumstances of the era, favored trial marriages, and allowed even married women to keep their surnames. The larger Border Reiver clans themselves were like tribes or military units as much as families, and many born with different surnames joined these clans for protection, eventually assuming the clan surname as their own. As a consequence of all these factors, Border Reiver descendants are to this day closely interrelated. Many with different surnames share the same ancestors, and many with the same surname are descended from genetically distinct paternal lines. Our DNA Project seeks to determine the relationships among these descendants, both on an individual and a family level.
The URL below will give you some idea of the families already included in our study:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gallgaedhil/dna_by_surname.htm
The group rate for joining the Border Reiver DNA Project is 99 USD for a 12 marker Y chromosome test, or 169 USD for a 25 marker test. The 12 marker test easily suffices to determine your "deep ancestry", and can provide enough data to suggest a shared paternal ancestry within the last 14 or 15 generations. The 25 marker test, more favored by DNA genealogists, can identify a shared paternal ancestry within the last 7 generations.
These group rates represent a substantial savings over the cost of joining Family Tree alone. For instance, the cost of getting the 12 marker test is nearly 40 percent less than what I paid for the same test last summer. Once you join our group, you will have full privileges as a Family Tree DNA customer. Family Tree DNA will store your genetic material with absolute privacy and security for twenty years, and will publish information about your Y chromosome markers, their likely ethnic origin, and the e-mail addresses of exact matches, on your own personal, password-protected web page. In addition, all other DNA tests you wish to order will be available to you at a considerable discount.
Despite the foregoing discussion of cost, this is a serious study, not a commercial venture. If you are interested in joining us, or would simply like more info, please contact James V. Elliott at jvance(a)tiac.net.
Sincerely,
James V. Elliott
