I'm looking for info on Charlotte Wade, born 1824 in Beaufort, North Carolina. She married Charles Layton (or Leighton), a soldier originally from England. They arrived in Monterey, California in 1847. Charles was lighthouse keeper at Point Pinos, until 1855 when he and his posse were killed by a bandit they had set out to catch.
Charlotte was appointed lighthouse keeper after Charles' death. She married her assistant George Harris in 1860 and died in 1896.
Would love any help with Charlotte's family, thanks.
