Phyllis..sorry to take so long to answer your post..not been available. I have a few
census pieces that contain information about your Eli Charles s/o Benjamin. If you do not
already have the information, I will get it to you. It is so good to finally see so much
interest in this family. I envy your trip to the Huntington County Library. It is a
wonderful resource led by super staff and has a wealth of information. If you happen to
run across information about David and Sidney Coon Charles, I'd love to have it. Most
of our Charles ancestors lived around Banquo, Huntington County, Indiana and then
LaFontaine, Wabash County, Indiana. I do not know exactly where Benjamin's and
David's and their parents' farms were. I am also stuck on finding precise
information on Benjamin and David's parents..other that who they were. No death
information..what led to Benjamin, David and their sister Abigail leaving Dudley County,
Indiana, etc.,..the meat so to speak. Have a profit!
able trip to Huntington. Many Charles and associated families are buried in the Mt. Etna
Cemetery..many older graves were dug and replaced there when the reservoir was created.
Have also been to a couple of cemeteries near Lincolnville, LaFontaine and one in LaGro.
They are all relatively easy to find and interesting. Good luck and happy hunting.
Joann
