He enlisted in the Confederate Army in September 1861 as a Private in Captain Lamar's Company of the 1st Georgia Cavalry Battalion, at Darien, Georgia.
The record is incomplete; he does not appear on any muster rolls for the Lamar Rangers, Company H of the 5th Georgia Cavalry.
After the war Charles stayed home with his mother and helped run the family farm until her death, at which point he inherited the entire estate. According to Beth Engel, only then did he marry - after the death of his mother. However an examination of the date of Polly's death compared to the birthdate of Charles and Marian's firstborn reveals that Mrs. Engel was probably incorrect.
His four sons were Boy (Charles Lawson Middleton Jr.), Dutch (David L. Middleton), Niger (Alexander Goodby Middleton), and Boss (William Nelson Middleton).
