In 1821 the parents with their family came to Ashtabula county, Ohio, locating in the town of Saybrook, and there the father died a few years afterward, in 1828, leaving his widow with six children. When Charles had attained the age of seventeeen he began teaching, in the village schools of Geneva, but after a time resigned his professional work and went to St. Louis, Missouri, expecting to go on to Mexico, but instead he returned to Illinois and taught school, split rails, etc., and also read Blackstone and Kent, with the intention of adopting' the law as his profession. Returning to Ashtabula county in 1829, he continued his reading in the office of Wade and Ranney at Jefferson, and was admitted to the bar of Ashtabula county in 1842 and began practice at Jefferson.

E. C. Wade; Adaline W.; and Amelia P., the wife of B. F. Beardsley, of St. Paul, Minnesota. Charles H. Simonds was born March 19, 1844, at Jefferson, in Ashtabula county, and in his early life learning the tinner's trade, he in 1870 engaged in the business for himself, and thus continued for four years.
