Notes:
Charles was 3/4 Cherokee Indian and 1/4 White. His parents ancestors came to this part of the country over the "Trail of Tears". They came to Indian Territory where he met and married his wife. He was a farmer and had lots of cattle, horses and lots of fruit trees over his land. They had a lot of land at one time. The government gave any Indian all the land he could take care of or fence. However through the years Charles managed to sell the land and even lost the home he had built for his family. (His daughter) Delora said that her Mother was very upset about that and really never got over it. They came to California but went back to Oklahoma. Charles died there and is buried in the Bryan Chapel Cemetary in Boatman, Oklahoma. Bryan's Chapel belonged to the Bryan Family whom his daughter Rachel was married to Joel Maes Bryan III.
