Elizabeth Charlotta (called Charlotte) was the daughter of Phineas & Sarah Fairchild. She was born in Morristown, Morris County, New Jersey, British Colonial America.

George and Martha Washington in the winter of (1779-1780, made their home with Phineas & Sarah Fairchild. Mr. Fairchild, a prominent businessman in that community, hauled wood with a team of 6 horses for the army, because the troops were freezing. They did not have proper clothing or shoes.

(Elizabeth) Charlotta Fairchild, a daughter, looked after the cooking much of the time for General Washington.

At the end of the war most of the Casterline family moved to Steuben County, New York, and points farther west. After Loammi's death in 1835, in Steuben County, New York Charlotta moved to Indiana to spend the rest of her days with her children.

No one knows for sure where she is buried, but probably in the Baptist Church Cemetery in Hartford, Indiana, northeast corner.
