  Notes	From Marsha S. Faulk hhinsulation@g-net.net Charles Augustus DeLoach was born in Upson County, Ga. on August 2, 1842 to Thomas DeLoach and Amelia "Milly" Isabella Magnan. They resided in Upson County until approximately 1848-49 when they moved to Troup County, Ga. The family was in Troup County by the time of the 1850 census. When war broke out, Charles, along with two of his brothers and six first cousins, joined Hilliard's Legion, Company A, 5th Battalion, Alabama Volunteers and served under Captain Peter Rowland. As this was a cavalry unit, Charles furnished his own horse, for which he was paid 40 cents per day. In September, 1862, Charles was sick with a "fever" and in the hospital in Atlanta. His mother went to Atlanta to nurse him back to health (and apparently succeeded) but she contracted the disease and died on the way back home. Her date of death is listed as October 10, 1862 in the family bible. Charles stayed with his unit until the wars end and was paroled in accordance with the terms of a military convention entered into on the 26th day of April, 1865, between General Joseph E. Johnston, commanding Confederate Army and Major General W.T. Sherman, commanding U.S. Army in North Carolina. Roll dated Hillsboro, North Carolina, April 28, 1865, paroled at Hillsboro, North Carolina, May 3, 1865. He was probably a prisoner of war. He had left home riding his horse but returned home on foot. Charles wasted no time after his arrival home (unknown as to how long it took him to walk home) in courting his sweetheart. On October 7, 1865, he married Mary Elizabeth Nichols, daughter of William Martin Nichols and Henrietta Cavendar. According to information passed down through the family, they eloped thereby upsetting her family so much that they did not speak to them again until the birth of the first child (which was actually two, twins). Charles and Mary Elizabeth had a total of 13 children that survived infancy. Charles was of the Baptist faith and a member of the Masonic Order. He held many positions during his lifetime. In May 1897, he became the Postmaster. He served on juries in both Troup County, Ga. and Chambers County, Al. He was a farmer and storekeeper also and played the fiddle. In later years, he was the Overseer for the Hugley Farm on State Line Road. In the 1880 Chambers County, Alabama Census, Thomas is living in the household of his grandson, Thomas Sutton DeLoach.
