Arthur, Not sure if this helps, but I have a Henry W. Cecil who married Rebecca Claypool(e) circa 1821. Rebecca's Parents were Jeremiah Claypool and Mary Brown. At least one of their children had Brown as a middle name: Mary Brown Cecil who married William P. Linkous. Since the Charles has the middle name of Brown - this might be a clue. Don't know if he is one of Henry & Rebecca's children - but could possibly be related to this family. You might check with the Tazewell Court House. I was able to get birth records for my great grandparents who were born in 1855 and marriage records as far back as 1806. They did keep very good records. Hope this helps!
