Biography

Charles was born in 1866 in Cayuga County, New York. He is the son of Robert Betts and Sarah Bullock.

While his father was serving in the Civil War, his older siblings had been in the Orphan Asylum in Auburn, Cayuga, New York. When the 1870 US Census was taken, the family was back together and was living in Mentz, Cayuga County, New York where Robert was working as a farm laborer. The family included three additional children, Charles, Louis and Laura^[1].

In 1875, Robert and Sarah had a new child in the household, Estella. The family was still living in Mentz, Cayuga, New York. James had joined Robert in working as a farmhand. Ada was no longer in the household having married David Christian^[2].

The 1880 US Census again reflected a number of changes for Robert and Sarah's family. They were living in the Village of Port Byron, in the Town of Mentz and Robert was working as a teamster. Only, the four youngest children are still at home, Charles, Louis, Laura and Estella^[3].
