Not sure where this Charles fits in here. Hope it is helpful to someone.
Fredus' brother, Isaac Titchner Ayer, also had a son named Charles who married Electa (?). This undated item (circa 1880) is from a scrapbook belonging to my g-grandmother's sister:

Morrisonville [NY]: "In the issue of Feb 3rd, there appeared in the list of deaths that of Mrs Pemilia Ayer, in Papillion, Neb. She was the wife of Fredus Ayer, for many years a resident of this town. For a period of years we were intimately conversant with the family as a nearby neighbor, and we recall to mind the friendly associations with them during the earlier part of our life. Mr Ayer served the Soper school district for 21 years as trustee, and he will be remembered as an active partisan in the old Whig party, and subsequently as an efficient worker and leader in the Republican party of this town. He was an industrious and thoroughgoing farmer, clearing up a farm of 200 acres, and ever ready with his public spirit for a good work and the performance of a neighborly kindness. Over 15 years ago, with his family, he moved to Nebraska, where he died three years since. Before his removal to the West his eldest daughter, Gabriella, married Courtland Stafford, of Plattsburgh!
, and subsequently died of consumtion. His only surviving daughter and youngest child - unmarried - died in Chicago, Ill. His three sons are now living. Omar, the eldest, and Osborn, next in age, in Kansas, and Pembroke, the youngest son, resides in Papillion, Neb., where the aged and honored mother passed the few years of her widowhood."

Another scrapbook item states that Fredus Ayer born Nov 24th, 1801 at North Hero VT, moved to Nebraska in 1864.
