In 1844 when Charles was born, Kentucky was a slave state, and Charles was born a mulatto slave. His father, Dr. Hugh Brown Flippin was white and his mother, Veta Penipplf, a black slave.
"A year after Charles Flippin's birth, his father, Hugh Flippin, would become a state legislator. In that same year, he and his wife, Frances Manion (my great grand aunt) had a baby girl named Camille Jane Flippin. While Camille grew up in prosperity, nothing is known about the fate of Veta or the childhood of Charles. By 1860 Hugh Flippin had accumulated $5260 in property; he had earned his fortune as a landholder and physician. It is not known whether Hugh Flippin activley apprenticed his enslaved son in medicine, but living in the same environment as a practicing physician might have given Charles Flippin a basis for his future career.
