Wilson Mirror, 19 November 1890.
A.B. Caldwell, ed., History of the American Negro and His Institutions, North Carolina Edition (1921).
In the 1880 census of Toisnot township, Wilson County: farmer Amos Bynum, 42, wife William Ann, 35, and children Charley, 14, Lulu, 4, George W., 3, Turner, 1, and Jonas, 17.
Though the article above avers that C.H. moved to Kinston in 1899, he married Janie Booth in Wilson in April of that year.
She apparently died soon after, as she does not appear with the Bynum family in the 1900 census of Town of Wilson, Wilson County. (Charles Bynum is described as married, rather than widowed or divorced, however.)
In any case, he married Helen B. Wooten in 1904, and they are listed in Kinston, Lenoir County, in the 1910 census. The 1912 Kinston city directory shows Charles well established.
Charles H. Bynum died in 1938.
