What does c mean?

Circa (c. or ca.) is a Latin word meaning "around" or "approximately.
It is often used in English to indicate that a date or year is approximate or uncertain.
It often precedes a date. So ca. 1767 means around 1767.

Example:
The church was built ca. 1776.
It gives an approximate idea that the event might have happened around that year, but not specifically in 1767.
