Ethel
5 Jun 1880-30 Nov 1959


Ethel Jane was the seventh of ten children born to James Portlock and Elcy Ann Hunter. At the young age of 14, she married Charles Allen Charlton on June 13, 1894 in Chickasaw Lands, Indian Territory. They were parents to 13 children of whom one was stillborn. She stood 4'11" in height, had long black hair in her younger days and her green eyes spoke volumes when you were "out of her reach." She was my maternal grandmother with whom I spent my childhood years and the only grandparent I ever knew. She was "Maw" to her children and most of her grandchildren, but she was my "Mamaw."

Charles
11 Sept 1868-26 Jun 1938


Charles Allen was the first born of three children born to William Hamilton Charlton and Ann Foster-Worrell. At the age of 25, he married Ethel Jane Portlock on June 13, 1894 in Chickasaw Lands, Indian Territory. He and Ethel were parents to 13 children of whom one was stillborn. He stood over 6' in height, had brown eyes and dark hair in his younger days; although my mother says he had lost his hair by the time she was born. I never knew my maternal grandfather; he passed away two years before I was born. According to my mother, she never knew "Dad" to have too many serious moments, except when he would quote lengthy verses of poetry or long passages of scriptures from the Bible. He had a very likeable personality, made friends very easily and his grandchildren loved to be around him. He was "Charley" to my grandmother, Ethel Jane and "Dad" to the rest of the family.
