Charles Anthony Merchant Childes

Greetings from the Rocky Coast of beautiful Maine!! This website compiled of various facts about myself will hopefully give you a broad picture of what I am about and my life. I am a true Mainah! Ayuh! Born here in Camden and have lived here since (wicked good life). My first ancestor arrived here from Massachusetts not far from the year 1695. I am a direct descendant of Samuel Wardwell the last male to be persecuted at Gallow's Hill in Salem, Massachusetts during the witch trials of September 1692. Shortly after his death his descendant and her husband Major William Eaton fled and moved to an isolated island populated with only Indians-which is now known as Deer Isle, Maine. I studied piano at the age of 6 and people say I am quite good at it. I am a 5th generation to a line of varied musicians. I am also a retired church organist after 21 years of service. I have many hobbies and things I enjoy which I have listed briefly in this website. I love travel and have been to England, Scotland, Wales, Mexico, Canada, Jamaica West Indies and have driven through all of the states in the continental Easten half of USA from Mexico on up to Canada. I have also played piano or organ in most of my stops. My highlight in my music career was when I was asked to play the pipe organ housed in the Old North Church in Boston, Massachussetts. I enjoy (real) friends and don't have time for friends that are here today and gone tomorrow. I like to cook, eat in or out, landscaping, antiques, photography, nature, travel, and most of all the elderly. I play piano for them at every chance I get where ever I may be. I beleive in everlasting spiritual existance (Before, NOW, and After). I enjoy prayer and meditation and offering my music as harmony gifts to God. As my grave stone reads "Music is a fare and Glorious Gift of God". My best loved country is Great Britain, which is understandable as it is my families home land. I am also very partial and fond of the Victorian era and am fascinated with a passion for Queen Victoria and the time of her reign. My friends that know me say I have a wonderful old soul that is full of compassion. I beleive they are right. (smile) Thanks for taking the time to visit my website and I hope you will e-mail me for a chat when time allows you to do so. I remain........ Blessed Be.....Charlie
