According to the 1981 Sallie Lee DeWitt geneology, Charles DeWitt Sr. migrated with his mother Melinda, and his grandparents, Solomon and Mary Monroe, to a farm three miles west of Crawfordsville, Indiana in 1831. He was left with the 80 acre farm near Crawfordsville, Indiana, when his grandfather, Solomon Monroe, died in about 1851. The farm was located in the south half of the northeast quarter of section three township, nineteen north of range five west, in Montgomery County Indiana. Soloman Monroe included in his will a condition of getting the farm, which was for Charles DeWitt to live with and care for Solomon and his wife Mary until they died. Also according to the Sallie Lee DeWitt papers, Charles Henry DeWitt later sold the farm to Chris Harshberger (husband of Eve Boraker, sister of his wife, Sarah Boraker), when he bought a farm in Franklin County, Arkansas in 1867. Charles DeWitt was also said to have been a member of the Teamsters. He was interred at King Cemetery, Grand Prarie, Arkansas.
