AWARDS
Charlotte Dundas (1790–1861) was a daughter of Major-General Thomas Dundas of Fingask and Eleanora Elizabeth Home. Her genealogy separates her March 5 birth in Stirlingshire from baptism at Larbert on April 6. She married Hart Davis, son of Richard Hart Davis, and had a son, Henry. Her married name was Davis. These details identify the woman in this record; the link to the steamboat Charlotte Dundas concerns a different namesake and cannot supply her biography.
EARLY LIFE
The exact date and place of Charlotte Dundas’s birth have not been established in the source used for this entry. The surviving biographical summary provides only limited evidence about childhood, schooling, and the daily circumstances of the household, so those details are not reconstructed here without documentation. What can be stated securely is that this person belonged to the interconnected family world from which HistoryGPS traces participants, relatives, and later descendants of the Revolutionary generation.
No distinct public profession or office for Charlotte Dundas is established by the source summary used for this entry. The surviving record is primarily genealogical and documents family identity rather than an independent public career. Additional claims about employment, public service, or accomplishments have been omitted where the consulted source did not support them.
CAREER
DEATH
Charlotte Dundas Davis died in 1861, according to the published Dundas family history and a matching genealogical profile. The woman in this record was born in 1790 to Major-General Thomas Dundas of Fingask and Eleanora Elizabeth Home, married Hart Davis, and had a son named Henry. Those family details identify the human subject independently of the steamboat also called Charlotte Dundas. The boat happened to be broken up in 1861, but its dismantling is a separate event and cannot describe the woman's death. The available family sources establish the year while leaving the exact day, place, cause, and duration of any final illness unresolved. There is no dependable account of attendants, treatment, or final words. Her final period can thus be placed at the end of a life of approximately seventy years, but a more detailed bedside narrative would require additional personal or vital records. The existing ship link has been excluded from the account of her last days.
