They were a farm family whose home and farm was located high upon the hill above Culleoka toward McCains on what is today (2003) the Westmoreland Place called Peach Orchard Hill. Information and 1992 photo by Wayne Austin (a grandson). It was a personal characteristic of Charles to tilt his head when in a relaxed standing or sitting position. This is a trait that was inherited by many of the male descendents of Charles. The photographer/artist in the above photo straightened his head leaving his shoulders slanted.
