Charles Brawner was born in Germany in 1840. He immigrated to the United States in 1860 and settled on Solomons Island. He married Henrietta Regina Smith in 1865, and they had eight children. Charles was a fisherman and oysterman, and he passed his skills on to his sons.

The Brawner family's fishing business flourished in the early 20th century. They owned several boats and fished the waters of the Chesapeake Bay for a variety of fish, including striped bass, flounder, and crabs. They also harvested oysters from the bay's oyster beds.

The Brawner family's business was hit hard by the decline of the oyster industry in the 1950s. However, they continued to fish for crabs and other seafood. Today, the Brawner family's fishing business is still a part of the Solomons Island economy.

In addition to their fishing business, the Brawner family has also been active in the community. They have served on the Solomons Island Town Council, the Calvert County Board of Commissioners, and the Calvert County Board of Education. They have also been active in the Solomons Island Volunteer Fire Department and the Solomons Island Rescue Squad.

The Brawner family is a proud part of the Solomons Island community. They have a long and storied history on the island, and they are committed to continuing their family's legacy of fishing and oystering.
