Before Charlotte was 2, the Confederate States of America was formed. When she was 4 her father died and the Civil War was raging. Charlotte had three uncles who went together to enlist for the Civil War, her father’s brothers, Jerome and Eugene Davis and her mother’s brother, Silas Babcock. At 5, her mother remarried. After the War her half-brother was born and soon after she moved with her family to Iowa. When Charlotte was 14 her sister married, her step-father died and Caroline was born. They moved back to Wisconsin. By the time she was 16 her sister, Watie had her first child, her mother, Sarah was remarried, and Charlotte got married. They all lived on neighboring farms in Caledonia township near New London, Wisconsin.

In 1875, Charlotte (nearly 16) married Alonzo Perry “AP” Davis (26), a Civil War veteran who had enlisted at age 15 in New York. Research tells us that AP’s grandfather was Joshua Davis (1775-1840) who was Charlotte’s great grandfather, making them first cousins, once removed. Nonetheless, they had three healthy children.
