Shep's Place Family Tree

Charlotte married John Linn in 1843 at the Congregational Chapel in Adelaide. ‎[Was this Clayton Wesley?]‎ Charlotte was 18 years and John 24. Charlotte had a baby every two or three years between the age of twenty and forty-two.

They had their first child in 1845 and subsequently had nine more. In 1855 Charlotte's baby William died in infancy. 1860 would have been a difficult year for Charlotte, too, because her eleven-year-old daughter Mary Eliza died, as did a baby boy named Frederick. Another baby died in infancy in 1865. Four of ten children died, not a good outcome.

Charlotte died in 1890 aged 64 when her youngest child was 23 years old and her eldest 45.
