According to the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, 1902, Charles Biles arrived in America on the ship "Elizabeth and Sarah" of Weymouth on April 4, 1679, with his brother William, and William's family. They landed on the Delaware River. Charles appears always to have resided in New Jersey. (William and family stayed in NJ for a short time, and then moved to PA to the Falls of the Delaware, which is now in Bucks County.) Charles died; and was buried on August 13, 1865. His widow remarried prior to March 9, 1697/98, as shown by a deed signed between "Joseph Wood of Bucks County and Sarah, widow of Charles Biles, of Maidenhead, Burlington County, W. Jersey, and Alexander Biles, second son of said Charles and Sarah Biles, now Sarah Brearly." According to this same article, Charles Biles had sons John, Charles, and Alexander, and daughter Sarah (no mention of a daughter Mary). Charles' son Alexander was born abt. 1695 and died August 26, 1736. He married Ann Tindall, dau of Thomas Tindall and Isobel Chapman. Alexander Biles' gravestone is in the churchyard at Lawrenceville NJ, formerly called Maidenhead, NJ (name changed around 1715.) Alexander Biles and Ann Tindall had a son Alexander, b. abt. 1718, d. 1782. If you're from this line, I have a little more information -- nothing about any of Charles' other children, however.
