Notes - During the Civil War, Charles enlisted on 11 November 1861 in Company G, 1st New York Engineers. He mustered out on 28 November 1863. He had been a sergeant. This regiment, "Serrell's Engineers," recruited from the state at large, rendezvoused at New York City and was there mustered into the U. S. service from October 11, 1861, to February 19, 1862, for three years. The regiment left the state by detachments from Oct., 1861, to Feb., 1862, proceeding to Port Royal, S. C., where it served in the 10th corps, Department of the South, until 1864, and took part in the following engagements: Port Royal ferry, with Com. Tatnall's flotilla, Battery Vulcan, S. C., Fort Pulaski, Ga. (its flag being the first to float over that fortress), James island, Secessionville, Coosawhatchie river, Caston's and Frampton's plantations, Morris island, siege of Fort Wagner, bombardment of Fort Sumter, Seabrook, John's island, Olustee, Fla., and Morris island.
Charles was a wheelwright. In 1870, Conover & Kent commenced the manufacture of fifth wheels for carriages at St. Johnsville, continuing until 1876, when Charles W. Scudder & Co., purchased their factory and succeeded them in the business. The firm in 1878 manufactured this one article to the amount of $12,000 worth annually, employed eleven men, and used seventy tons of American and Norway iron.
At the time of the 1900 census, he was a patient at the Long Island State Hospital.
