There are several US censuses (Censi ? ) that you should be able to find
this person. Up to 1850 all census were just head of household and numbers
of people by age categories or servitude. Go to the census books, find your
guy by enumeration district and hunt him down the old genealogy way.

We do know that Jr. was witness to many documents and clerk as well.
Not sure about "birth" date which was estimate following how he is listed in
order with siblings as well as date gaps for those we do have an idea about.
His 1839 death notice doesn't give age. All it says:
Died- On Aug. 7, at the Blue Sulphur Springs in this state, on his return
from the south, Charles Wills, late of Richmond. (p. 4, c. 3 Richmond Whig)
Sr. is for all I can tell at St. John's because of the obvious I had already
mentioned - he and his family were members and listed in parish records, his
daughters married there, and in 1820 (do know he died then) it was the only
public cemetery then. He had money when he died including 9 slaves, the
mansion house we now own, along with his other various properties that were
valued in 1829 when the property was finally settled at nearly $6,000 not
including household inventory or cash.

I will let him know if we ever determine where Charles, Sr. is buried.
Otherwise he won't care. If Charles, Jr. was b. 1806 he was only 19 when he
was deputy clerk. That seems most unlikely. If and when we determine where
Charles Sr. is buried, we'll need to revisit all this.
