Charles Applewhite Pippin was born in Georgia around 1812. He married Elizabeth Hinchaw (the family name is spelled in several variants) in Alabama, where he seems to have spent much of his life. (Note that I have an issue with Nunley's Cove, where he is supposed to have been married. It would seem to be in Tennessee. However, when Elizabeth wrote her brother in 1849, the address is shown as DeKalb County, Alabama on the transcription of the letter I have. Therefore I say 'Alabama' here.) Elizabeth's brother, Levi, married a girl from Waynesville, Missouri (Permelia Christeson) but it is not completely understood who first had contact with the Waynesville area and why. Although Charles Applewhite Pippin acquired some property in Waynesville, he eventually disposed of it and moved to Hickory County, Missouri with the rest of the family. He may have served in the Civil War. He seems to have died before 1870, and I do not know where he was buried.
Charles Applewhite Pippin married Betsy Hinchaw in Alabama at Nunleys Cove. (Betsy Hinchaw's mother was an own sister to Bland Ballard, whose name sake is Dr. Bland Nixon Pippin, father of Dru L. Pippin.
1840: TN 1840 Warren Co, RS 704, Roll 357, p. 364: Charles A. Pippin m:1-0-0-0-1 and f:0-1-0-0-1-1. (Source: Rootsweb). So his son, William Carroll Pippin, and two daughters, were born before 1840. He would have been around 28.
1850: Charles is enumerated in Dist. 72 of Pulaski County. He is shown as 38 (c1812), born Georgia. His wife is shown as Elizabeth, age 38, and the following children were living in the household: William, 11 (1839); and Samuel, 7 (1843). Both are shown as having been born in TN. Also in the household were in-laws: Levi Henshaw, 29 (1821); Susannah Henshaw, 6; and Elizabeth Henshaw, 4 (Levi's daughters). Again, all were born in TN. He indicates real property of $300.
1860: Hickory Co., Missouri. Charles A. Pippin, age 48 (b. c1812), farmer, born Georgia; wife Elizabeth, age 48 (b. c1812), born Tenn.; son Sterling S., age 17 (b. c1843), born Tenn.; Susanna Hinshaw, age 71 (b. c1789), born S.C. (as yet unidentified); Eveline Kennedy, age 18 (b. c1842), born Ky.; and Samuel A. Hill, age 11 (b. c1849), born Mo. By this time, all of Charles Applewhite Pippin's children except Stirling seem to have left home. Charles Applewhite Pippin is shown as holding real property valued at $2,000 and personal property valued at $1,302.
1870: I do not find him in the census. Elizabeth is now living with son William Carroll Pippin.
Charles Applewhite Pippin was born in Georgia. According to the 1840 census, he was in Warren County, TN. He married probably in Tennessee (but possibly in Alabama). By the 1850 census, he was living in Waynesville, Pulaski County, Missouri.30
He seems to have been associated with both Pulaski County and Hickory County over the next decade. In Hickory County there is a letter dated November 28, 1850 is printed, signed by Nathan Pippin, Charles A. Pippin, and others, requesting the state for a road from Hermitage to Erie, in the direction of ``Hightower's Mill'', Camden County.31 There is also a 1853-08-20 land entry for Charles Applewhite Pippin in Hickory County, T37 R20, northwest northwest section 34.32
I don't have Charles Applewhite Pippin's date of death and related details. He does not appear in the 1870 census. One has to guess he died between 1860 and 1870.
Only two males are shown in the census: William Carroll Pippin (c1839), and Stirling Samuel (c1843). According to Patty Thomas, Sam died without issue, unmarried, killed in the Civil War between Goodwin Hollow and Lebanon, Missouri around 1861. This William Carroll Pippin's line is extensive and we have good information about it.
