So, now that it looks like I've found some of Charles D Latimer's family, I wanted to solve the mystery of his mother. The 1850 census has his father, Sylvester, married to a Susan Jane who was born in Kentucky. But Charles's mother was born in Pennsylvania. Was Sylvester married twice? I hunted around and I believe he was.

| Luttgen | Percy L. | 08/04/1874 | 02/12/1882 | Luttgen, Ludwig | Meeker, Harriet |
So I wanted to track down Harriet Meeker, whom I believe is the mother of Harriet M. Luttgen, and therefore the mother of Charles D Latimer. I don't know why Harriet Meeker is listed as the mother of Mary Harriet Luttgen and Percy L Luttgen, as I know it's Harriet M. Latimer...maybe the "M" stands for Meeker in her name.
According to a family tree on ancestry.com Sylvester Latimer and Harriet Meeker married on 6 November 1828
Harriet Meeker Latimer died in 1845
And then I found this:
Fleming county Kentucky marriage records 1798-1851
Sylvester Latimer and Susan Stith m. 4 January 1849
So then I start hunting Susan Stith as I know in census records Sylvester's wife is named Susan Jane and she was born in Kentucky.
In the will of Jane Heddleston Stith from http://www.jscott.tierranet.com/ancestry/stith/ellamae/ancestry.htm
she mentions her daughter Susan Latimer in her will. She also mentions other children, and through tracking a son I see that he wound up in Delaware, Delaware, Ohio. While not proof, I'll take it.
So, this is what it's looking like to me:
Sylvester Latimer
b. 1799 d. 30 January 1877
m 1st Harriet Meeker on 6 November 1828
issue:
1-Virgil P Latimer b. January 1830, husband to Josephine Hopkins
2-Henry Sylvester Latimer b. 13 September 1831, husband to Lucinda Coon (according to a family tree on ancestry.com)
3-Charles D Latimer b. June 1833, husband to Frances E Newman married in New York
4-Sarah J Latimer b. about 1834 (16 in the 1860 census)
5-Mary A Latimer b. about 1836 (14 in the 1860 census)
6-Martha Rosine Latimer b. about 1838 (12 in the 1850 census, 31 in the 1870), wife of Henry Clark
but why is Rose Latimer living with Sylvester in the 1870 census...why isn't she with her husband?
7-Josephine Latimer b. about 1840 (she was not in the 1850 census, but was 20 in the 1860 census, and there's a Josey in the 1870 census that is 28)
8-Harriet M Latimer b. 23 November 1842 d. 6 June 1910, wife of Lucius A A (Ludwig Adolph August) Luttgen (8 in 1850, 17 in 1860)
Harriet Meeker Latimer died 29 April 1845
Sylvester Latimer marries 2nd Susan Jane Stith on 4 January 1949
Sylvester and Susan then appear on the 1850 census and everyone thinks she is the mother of the children.
Sylvester dies 30 January 1877.
Susan dies 31 January 1898.
