In 1788, Polser Everholt and his son, Charles, were listed in Captain Richard Ragan's Company No. 13 of the Rockingham County Militia. The militia records and the tax records of Rockingham County are almost identical, therefore, we believe that the male under 21 that was living in Balzar's household from 1787 until 1792, was Charles.

In 1793, Charles Everhart was listed as a tithable, which was a male age 21, or above. He was living in Rockingham Tax District #9 which is where his father had lived in 1787 and 1788. Christian Everhart also lived in District #9.

If Charles were twenty-one in 1793, he would have been born about 1772, before the family left Germany for America.

Charles Everhart's name appeared on the Rockingham County Personal Property Tax List from 1793 until 1799 with the exception of 1797. His name was not found that year. The last record found of Charles Everhart was June 6, 1799. His name never appeared on the land tax records, so it is believed he did not own land there.

On the 7th of May 1799, Charles Everhart was married to Abbey Holderway. Abby's father was deceased, and Peter Coontz took an oath before the Justice of the Peace of Rockingham County that to the best of his knowledge she was upwards of twenty-one years of age. Peter Coontz was also on the bond with Charles. Charles signed his name Carl Eberhardt as he did on all other documents found there with his signature.

Charles Carl Everhart's name disappeared from the Rockingham County Virginia records the same year as his father, Baltzar, and his brother, Jacob. It is likely that he made the trip to East Tennessee with the other members of his family, but no record has been found to verify that he was there
