How is your wife related to Joseph? Benjamin is my greatgrandfather. The boy named Charles in the 1860 census is a mystery. He is not a brother though. My father and grandfather are named Charles, but I do not know after whom in the family they are named. I cannot find Charles Alexander born in 1847 SC after this 1860 census. I believe that the Benjamin in the Cass County 1860 census is a relative of Benjamin's, perhaps a cousin, but not Joseph's son. My greatgrandfather, Benjamin, married his wife Catherine Raper after the Civil War was over. I have seen their marriage certificate. Hopefully, we can put together what we both have and figure out where Joseph was born and who his parents are. Looking forward to hearing from you. K.
