II. Charles Barnum, b. at Danbury, Conn., about 1820; a clothing-merchant; married Margaret Peck. A New York paper, of July 1875, had the following paragraph: "Charles Barnum, of 41 Ormond Place, a clothing-merchant at 269 Canal Street, went on board the steamboat Providence on June 28, and arose at night seemingly suffering from physical pain. As he has not since been seen, and his clothing and ticket were found in his state-room, it is supposed that he was drowned. He was 55 years of age. His brother, who had been subject to heart-disease, dropped dead on hearing of his loss." He left a widow and several children.
