| Notes |
- Charles enlisted at the age of 18 from Macon, Michigan as a Private on 24Sep1861 as part of Company D, 3rd Cavalry Michigan Regiment. The regiment left Grand Rapids November 28, 1861, for St. Louis, Mo., under command of Lieutenant Colonel Robert H. G. Minty. In March 1862, the Third was in the army commanded by General Pope, who at that date was operating against Island No. 10, in the Mississippi River, the regiment being located at New Madrid, Mo., and was constantly under fire for several days. The water at this place was extremely bad, and more sickness was contracted here than at any one period of the four and a half years' service of the regiment, the death rate being very heavy. This presumably is where Charles got sick. His mother filed for pension in May1883 on behalf of her son's service. ((I have not yet acquired this record from the archive))
