4. FRANCIS "FANNIE" WEALTHY REESE (William1) daughter of William Reese and Elizabeth Hussey was born 14 Jun 1849 in Alabama, died 22 Jun 1911, and is buried at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery.
Fannie married 13 Jan 1867 in Pike Co., Alabama to CHARLES I. SANDERS, son of Jeremiah Sanders and Martha Smith. He was born 9 Dec 1845 in Georgia, died 23 Jan 1921, and is buried in the Mt. Pleasant Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery south of Elba in Coffee Co., Alabama (The church was Mt. Pleasant in 1989, but DePratt lists it as Old Bethlehem Baptist Church in 1976.)
The census lists Charles' birth date as Dec 1846, instead of 1845 as shown on his tombstone.
Charles was a member of Co. G 63rd Ala. Inf. in the War Between the States, and was present at the 1907 reunion held in Elba, AL (per an article published 1953 in the Elba Clipper.) Charles enlisted on September 7, 1864. His enlistment papers say that he was 16 years old, (though this does not match either of the above birthdates.) His description card lists him as being 5'8" tall,
with blue eyes and light hair. He fought at Fort Gaines and Spanish Fort, before being sent to Blakely where he was captured and sent to Ship Island, MS as a Prisoner of War on April 15, 1865. (He was paroled the following May in
Meridian, MS). It is probable that he could not write. His parole papers were signed with his mark.
In the 1880 census he is listed as a carpenter living on Fairview St. in Troy, Alabama. In 1900 he was a merchant and living on Clayton St. in Elba, Alabama. In 1910 he had moved to Geneva Co. In 1920 he was living in Coffee Co. with his daughter Ludie and her husband John Davis
