Note: ca 1650.(80603) Charles was born circa 1625 inEngland. Charles died before 17 May 1681 at approximately 55 years ofage.(80604) In a lawsuit it was brought out that Edmund Bowman hadmarried the executrix of Mrs. Ann Charleton, deceased. Charles' wifeKatherine would have been the executrix. i0 According to Ralph Whitelaw,the identity of Charles is an unsolved problem. Some historians haveidentified him with Charles the son of Colonel Edmund, but such asolution is contrary to fact, as in 1654 the latter was only eleven yearsold and supposedly was then in England for his education. It is possiblethat this unidentified Charles was a nephew or first cousin of ColonelEdmund. His first appearance in the county records was in the year beforethe marriage agreement, when he made a deposition. No record has beenfound to indicate that this Charles ever had a home of his own; in 1656 areference to him said "att his nowe dwellinge howse at Nuswattocks," soperhaps he and his wife lived with her mother Mrs. Ann Charlton. In 1657,when apparently about to take a voyage, he set John Coale free fromservice, in case he should not return within 12 months. Nothing moreconcerning Charles appeared in the local records until August, 1663, whena reference was made to the estate of Henry Scarburgh (son of Charles andKatherine), and describing him as "the son of Mr. Charles Scarborough inEngland," so he may have remained abroad until 1664, when he againappears in the Accomack records, and there both he and his son usuallyhad their names written out in the full original spelling.
