Family Summary:
Charles McLaughlin was born before the 1730s. If he is the son of James and Mary McLaughlin of Bull Run (Manassas), Prince William County (then Stafford County), Virginia, he was born before 1727. By the 1750s, Charles was living in Bedford County, Virginia. He was appointed surveyor in the Court Orders of Bedford, listed as Charles Laughlin. Also appearing at the time was a James McLaughlin under “Tithes for Road,” page 146. (See James McLaughlin, Stafford/Prince William County, Virginia.) Charles appeared again in the 1750s as Charles McLawlin, licensed for an ordinary. He continued to be the proprietor of the ordinary into the 1760s.
The land records of Bedford show that Charles purchased 204 acres on the north branch of Otter River from Alexander Boyle in 1769, Liber and Folio being 3 and 253 respectively. Other purchases in the area were: from George Miller, also in 1769; 238 acres from Henry Kay in 1773; and 300 acres, North Branch of Otter River from William Carson in 1778. He sold 100 acres on Lick Run to John McLaughlin in 1779.
His son, Charles, fought in Dunmore’s War of 1774, sometimes called the first battle of the Revolution, in Western Virginia. Charles, Junior, also fought in the Revolution, along with his brother, William. Their mother is unknown but was still living at the time of the war.
In 1782, Charles McLaughlin appeared in the Personal Property Tax Books of Bedford, alone. He owned two horses and two head of cattle. He disappeared from the tax records after 1787.
