Note: from this website, maybe John Charles Sr was the father, not George Anger

There is a FindAGrave memorial that states he was part of Butler's Rangers, however, most of these men were Black - - so unsure if this is the same person

Butler’s Rangers were made up of American loyalist refugees who had fled to Canada following the outbreak of the American Revolution. John Butler himself was a French and Indian War veteran-turned landowner with a 26,000 acre estate near Caughnawaga in the Mohawk Valley. However, at the outbreak of the war, Butler abandoned these holdings and fled to Canada in the company of other Revolutionary figures such as Joseph Brant. There, he served as a deputy to Guy Johnson himself a loyalist from the Mohawk Valley who led mixed anti-Republican First Nations and loyalist militias.^[3]
