Kevin,
Well I guess I found our link! Haven't figured out how many cousins down the line we go; or removed, yet. Too early in the morning.
IF your ancestor was the Benjamin Charles listed below that is. MINE was Benjamins brother Joseph. according to the 1870 census info listed below.
*********************************************
From "History of Vernon County": Page 884, 885, 887, Metz Township:
"West of Allen SUMMERS the CHARLES families came at an early day and made claims, where some of their descendants yet live. Simon CHARLES came in June 1844, and settled on the Little Osage, 4 miles west of Balltown; he died in Nov 1863. His wife, Margaret Jane (YOKUM), died Sept 15, 1886, aged 67 years 10 months; she was the mother of 13 children and at the time of her death was the mother of 40 grandchildren and 3 gr grandchildren. Benj.CHARLES, a cousin of Simon, came in 1849 and his (Ben's) brother, Joseph, came in 1852. The CHARLES families were from Hunter's Valley, Perry county, PA of which locality Peter WEYAND and Isaac YOKUM were also natives."
