Charles Stewart Wurts (1790-1859) was a founder of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, which built the Delaware and Hudson Canal and later became the Delaware and Hudson Railway.[1] Along with his brothers, he helped launch the anthracite industry in America. Born in Flanders, New Jersey, he was a son of John Wurts (1744-1793) and Sarah Grandin; and a grandson of Johannes Conrad Wirz (1706-1763), who founded the Wurts family in America.[1] In 1823, he helped found the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company along with his brothers William (1788-1858), Maurice (1783-1854), and John Wurts (1792–1861).
