Biography

Charles Boarman III is Notable.

Charles Boarman III was born in Appalachia, in Virginia (now West Virginia).

Dr. Charles Boarman (October 28, 1828 – November 22, 1880) was an American pioneer and frontier physician. He was among the original pioneers to settle in present-day Amador County, California, serving as its first county physician from 1863 until 1880, and was one of the founding members of the Society of California Pioneers. He was also the son of Rear Admiral Charles Boarman and uncle of fellow pioneer doctor Charles B. Harris.

Charles Boarman was born on 28 October 1828 in Martinsburg, Berkeley County, Virginia. He was the son of Rear Admiral Charles Boarman and Mary Ann "Nancy" Abell.

He earned his medical degree at Georgetown University. Shortly after graduation, at the age of 23, he moved out to California and settled in Sacramento County. There, he married Mary Anna Hills around 1856, and the couple had seven children together.

Charles and his family moved to Lancha Plana, a booming mining town, in early 1859. They were among the first to settle in Amador County, California. He was one of the original members of the Amador Society of California Pioneers and was in charge of the chapter's first meeting on 9 September 1877. Dr. Boarman spent seventeen years as the county physician until he died on 22 November 1880, of smallpox.
