Sorry - I just found a little more information on Charles Grandison Gunter in the book "The Confederados - Old South Immigrants in Brazil".
It says that he was born in Chatham County, North Carolina, and settled in Montgomery County, Alabama in 1853.Said to have been an extensive planter and main of financial means. He and his four sons sailed to England and then to Brazil in 1866.Many families from Montgomery, Alabama followed him to Brazil.
One son who died prior to the migration to Brazil was William Gunter, married to Ellen Poellnitz. Ellen's two sisters and their husbands did migrate with Gunter.
A son in law of Gunter who migrated was A. J. Dozier.
