Notes for Charles Samples: PER SAMPLES FAMILY HISTORY:
CHARLES SAMPLES WAS BORN 11-19-1792 IN RUSSELL CO VA. HE WAS THE 2ND CHILD OF EIGHT BORN TO WILIAM SAMPLES (1760-70, D 1850 & NANCY WILSON 1775-1859. HE MARRIED ANNA YOUNG. PROBABLY AROUND THE YEAR 1815 IN RUSSELL CO.,VA ( I AM NOT SURE , AS MANY OF THESE RECORDS WERE DESTROYED BY FIRE) OR GREEN CO. KY. HE SETTLED IN GREEN CO.,KY THE FALL OF 1815. ALL TEN OF HIS CHILDREN WERE BORN IN GREEN CO.,KY
IN THE SPRING OF 1840, HE AND HIS IMMEDIATE FAMILY MOVED WEST AND SETTLED IN CLAY CO., MO. I SUSPECT ANNA DIED THERE AS SHE APPEARS ON THE 1850 CENSUS WITH CHARLES, BUT NOT ON THE 1860 CLAY CO., MO CENSUS. CHARLES REMARRIED IN 1862 TO MRS. MATILDA CORNWALL. HIS PROBATE RECORDS DOES NOT LIST A WIFE AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH ON 28 DEC 1873.
HE HAD 10 CHILDREN BUT ONLY 9 ARE LISTED IN HIS PROBATE RECORDS

INFO FROM CLAY CO MO., MARRIAGE RECORDS 1852-1900 BY KENT WELLINGTON, HACKETTSTOWN,NJ, 1862, SEPT 25-CHARLES SAMPLES & MATILDA CORNWELL; L.J.A. PRATHER, M.G.; 12-13-1862. ADDITIONALLY, I CHECKED "MISSOURI PIONEERS OF CLAY COUNTY" WHICH IS A COMPILATION OF MATERIAL FROM "MISSOURI PIONEERS, "MISSOURI MISCELLANY" AND BY NADINE HODGES AND AUDREY L. WOODRUFF. THE FOLLOWING IS FROM A SERIES CALLED "THE OLD MEN OF CLAY COUNTY IN 1870". THE FEDERAL GOVERMENT WOULDN'T ALLOW INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE OR WERE SUSPECTED TO BE SOUTHERN SYMPATHIZERS TO REGISTER TO VOTE. THE LIBERTY TRIBUNE WAS PRO- SOUTH AND IT ALLOWED THIS FORUM FOR THE INDIVIDUALS TO SPEAK OUT ABOUT THEIR LOYALTY. I FOUND THE FOLLOWING:
CHARLES SAMPLES. I WAS BORN IN RUSSELL COUNTY, VIRGINIA, NOV 19TH, 1792; MOVED TO KENTUCKY IN THE SPRING OF 1815, AND IN THE FALL OF 1840, MOVED TO MISSOURI. I AM NOW 78 YEARS OLD, AND HAVE BEEN A CITIZEN OF MISSOURI FOR 30 YEARS, BUT NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE.
