Life

Charles Oliver Grayson was born on 16 March 1835, at Nixburg, Coosa County, Alabama, according to the FamilySearch tree, which cites no source for the date or the place.1 The federal census of 1850 listed Charles Grayson in the household of W. B. Grayson in Marengo County, Alabama, and in 1860 he was recorded in Clarke County, Alabama, both in the population census and in the slave schedule, the separate part of the census that listed enslaved people, by age and sex rather than by name, under the name of the person who held them.2 On 5 November 1865 he married Nancy C. Robbins, a daughter of Solomon Robbins Sr., in Coosa County.3 The censuses of 1870 and 1880 recorded him as Charles Grason and C. O. Grason, in 1880 at Nixburg.4 The tree names seven children, born between 1866 and 1880.5 By 1900 the family had moved to Smith County, Texas, where the censuses of 1900, 1910 and 1920 found him, in 1920 indexed as "Cas O Grayson" in the household of a C. A. Grayson.6 He died in Smith County on 4 March 1922 and is buried in the Bascom Cemetery, according to the tree and a Find a Grave memorial to Charlie Oliver Grayson.7 The Texas death records of his son Horatio Alexander Grayson in 1961 and of Mary Casey in 1969 name him as father.8
