Rick,
I have since found his gravestones at the cemetery. I have also found out who his father is, Hugh LaFayette, which was an Irish immigrant. But that is about all I know so far. I came across a land deed of a Hugh Lafayette in Tuscaloosa county that matches the timeline of Hugh's lifetime and I believe it was purchased by Hugh. If you would like, I can email you a copy. Other than that, I don't know Charles Lafayette's mother's maiden name or who her family was. Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks.
