Is it named after Blessed Charles the Good- Count of Flanders, or Blessed Charles of Blois or someone else?

from wikipedia "The township was initially known as Charleston, but this name was already taken by the downstate city of Charleston, Illinois so the name of Saint Charles (suggested by S. S. Jones, a lawyer) was adopted in 1839."

Same was mentioned here -- History of St. Charles - Early Settlement - St. Charles, Illinois (http://www.st-charles.il.us/early.htm - broken link)
