He met Ann Apsey and married her on July 30, 1839. The next year, they had their first child - a son, Job, named after her father. In 1841, Charles and Ann, and their one year old son left for America on the ship "Alesto". They arrived to New York on December 10, 1841.
They lived at Gravesend, Long Island, New York for eight years. During that time, three more of their children were born (Hannah, Elizabeth, and Mary).
In the fall of 1849, the family headed "west" to near Milwaukee, Wisconsin - where they located at Summitt in Waukesha County. They lived there about 13 years and had six more children (Susan, Charles William, John Fletcher, George, Joseph Benson, and Ellen). During this time period, they suffered the loss of two of their children (Georgie at age three and Job, who died while in the Civil War).
Then in 1864, they moved further west to Faribault County, Minnesota to Lura township near Delavan, Minnesota. They homesteaded on 160 acres and spent the rest of their lives there together. This is when Charles changed his profession from tailor to farmer. During this time period, they had two more children ( Simon Robert and Enos James). In total, Charles and Ann had twelve children. They celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary on July 30, 1914. Charles' wife, Ann, died later that same year. Charles died two years later just three months before he would have reached his 100th birthday.
