Son of James Burge and Rachel Ann "Anna" House. He married Sarah S. Crabtree Burge on April 19, 1860 in Granby, Missouri.

MO d/c 20209—DOB year on d. cert. is 1833, however, on April 30, 1910 he signed a declaration saying he was born on April 12, 1835 in "Carle" County, Ohio, ( He just had a bit of a spelling problem. It was Carroll County, Ohio.) this from his Civil War military and pension records. (Civil War data and spouse and marriage info from a fellow FAG member--thank you C. I.!!)

During the Civil War, Charles was enlisted by Jacob Swivel at Dubuque on August 19, 1862, in Company E, of the 21st Iowa Infantry. The company was mustered in on August 19th and the regiment on September 10th. They left Dubuque on board the sidewheel steamer Henry Clay and two barges tied alongside on September 16h. Bimonthly company muster rolls indicate Charles was "present" on October 31, 1862 (Salem, MO), December 31, 1862 (Houston, MO), February 28, 1862 (Iron Mountain, MO) and April 30, 1862 (Bruinsburg, MS), the day General Grant's army crossed the Mississippi from Louisiana and the 21st Infantry was designated as the point regiment as the army started inland. During the Vicksburg Campaign that ended with its surrender on July 4, 1863, Charles continued "present" with no indication of illness, but records do not indicate if he participated in the May 1st Battle of Port Gibson, the May 17th assault at the Big Black River, the May 22nd assault at Vicksburg or the ensuing siege. This could be because he did not participate or, more likely, that it wasn't noted in his records. He continued "present" and was with the regiment during its almost six months of service in Texas where on December 22, 1863, Charles and his brother were both charged with leaving their posts while detailed for fatigue duty. Charles pled guilty and was sentenced to 20 days' imprisonment. He was "present" on February 28, 1865 (Dauphin Island, AL), April 30, 1865 (Spring Hill, AL) and June 20 1865 (Baton Rouge, LA). He was mustered out with the regiment on July 15, 1865, and the next day started north. They were discharged at Clinton on July 24, 1865.
"He was a Private during his entire Civil War service."
