Charles arrived in America in 1671. Settled East of Present day Richmond, VA. He arrived from England as an indentured servant. From the St Peters Parish Church dated 2/26/1689 it is listed that Charles Bostock had his lands processed. In the Blisland Parish, New Kent Co., VA, in 1682 he was ordered to be committed to the custody of the Sheriff of York County for "words greatly encouraging the present distractions, by cutting up Tobacco plants."

On 7 April 1671, Charles Bostock was listed as a headright, transported to Virginia by George Pool, Richard Fantinglae, James Barningham and James Forsith. According to Virginia patent book 6, p. 352, Charles was probably a surveyor. Virginia Settlers and English Adveentureres, p. 696, lists a Charles Bostock in Burton Parish, Virginia on 3 December 1679, as owing 500 pounds of tobacco for the use of the County. The Saint Peters Parish Register, New Kent Co., VA lists the death of Charles Bostock on 4 January 1700/01. The same register lists a Mary Bostick who died on 7 December 1709. This Mary is believed to be the wife of Charles. The St Peters Parish Register also lists the marriage of James Crump and Venicia Bostick on 14 July 1709. Venicia is believed to be a daughter of Charles and Mary. Virginia (Copeland) Jantz of Waco, TX, in "Copeland, Bostick, Patton and Allied Families" states that a Bostock manuscript found at the Society of Genealogists Library in London, England indicates that Charles Bostock may have been a descendant of the Bostock families residing in London during the early 1600's. The name Charles was found in thses families. In 1625, a Charles Bostock was Master of the Scriveners's Company of London and he had a son, also named Charles, born about 1606, who was a physician. The Bostock families of London seemed to have originated from Cheshire, in the area of Davenham and Tarporly. The 1704 Quit Rent Roll of VA shows that a John Bostock had 100 Acres of land in New Kent County and that a William Bostock had 80 acres in the same county. It seems likely that they were brothers and possibly sons of Charles and Mary Bostock. Both John and William Bostick died in Goochland Co., VA
