Walter,
Yes, I have that Charles in my database. In 1850 and 1860 he is in Chatham Co. aged 56 and 68, respectively.Since preciseness in age was not common in those days, I guess that he was born in the early half of the 1790s.On December 28, 1814 he married Mary "Polly" Parish in Wake Co., NC.On 29 Dec 1812 he was a bondsman for the marriage of James Edwards and Sally Woodward in Wake Co.On 29 July 1815 he was a bondsman for the marriage of Joseph Ellis and Kilby Wood in Wake Co.As you noted, he is on the Wake Co. 1820 Tax List as owning no land.
According to the 1850 census his children were Joseph M., b. abt 1833, and William H., b. abt 1835.Joseph M. married an Elizabeth F. ______.William H. C. was born 16 July 1832, married Amanda _______ and died 14 Mar 1895 in Chatham Co.
That's all I have on Charles and his family.It was very common in 19th Century NC for the spelling Seagoves to intermix with the Se(Sea)graves spellings depending on geography.It may be that the person who moved used a pronunciation that the new local clerks wrote in a slightly different way.This Charles is clearly out of the basic Wake County branch and is likely a grandchild of Jacob and Patience Segraves who were married in Wake Co. in abt 1759.I have no direct information to connect Charles to Jacob, but it is the most likely descent from Francis and Luretia who apparently started the whole NC Segraves line.
If you have more details on Charles, I would appreciate them.For example, my records show that he may have been the father of Albert Segroves, born about 1815, who later married a Rebecca and eventually moved to Arkansas after 1850.
