Charles was the fifth of thirteen children of Andrew Barton McPherson and Parthenia Hale. The siblings were: Mary "Polly"**; Hezekiah; Elijah; Susannah; Charles; William; Deborah; Parthenia; John; Thomas; Barton; Margaret; and Nancy.
Charles had a large family from two wives. From Elizabeth Howell: Thomas Welcome McPherson; Colburn McPherson; Lycurgus McPherson; Julyann McPherson (1850 - 1851); Malinda McPherson (1853 - 1870); and Miller McPherson. From Minerva St. Clair McDaniel, whom he wed February 13, 1859 in Healdsburg: Dulana McPherson; French McPherson; Stonewall McPherson; Ewell McPherson; Early/Earley McPherson; Mary Etta/Etter McPherson (1872 - ); and Annie McPherson (1873 - ). With Minerva came a stepson, Oliver McDaniel, Jr. born January 1854. Charles passed away in 1875, and in 1880 a McDaniel and wife were found heading the McPherson children in a household near Robinson's Ferry in Calaveras County, California. A McDaniel was also involved helping the eldest son Thomas in Trinity County before his untimely 1879 death mentioned above.
Descendants of Charles have Revolutionary War patriot ancestors through the McPherson, Kincheloe, and probably Hale families.
* Elizabeth was the daughter of Wellcome Howell and Anna Longacre, Benjamin, Sr. & Ruth Longacre had been in Johnson County since 1827.
** Mary also had a son named Barton.
