Charles

b. circa 1864

Charles was born circa 1864 in Texas.
It is an educated guess that Charley who is enumerated with Milton James in 1870 is enumerated in 1880 with Angus and Jinney in 1880 as a son. Angus and Milton likely were brothers.
Following emancipation, Charles adopted the name Charles James.
Milton appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1870 in Danville, Montgomery County, Texas. Other members of the household included Charles, August, Catharine, Cherry, Lizzy, William James and Moses James.
Angus and Jinney appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1880 in Montgomery County, Texas. Other members of the household included Charles, Anaka, Cora, Colbert, Jane, Angus, Cherry, Lizzie James, Milton James, Martha James, Laubertie James, Georgia James, James James, Anna James, William James, Perry James, Mitchell James and Amon James. Also in the household are grandchildren, apparently from three different families, which are not known. possibly earlier, unknown, children of Angus. Some of the children, Charley in particular, appear to be those enumerated in 1870 with Milton James, who likely was a brother of Angus. Young Angus also is enumerated in the household of Peter Early, working on the farm.
