All,
In The History of Ulster County, New York by N.B. Sylvester (1880), I've
found a number or references to the surname CARLE. I was surprised by
this as I bought the book for the COLLINS information I might find in it
but there are more Carle entries than Collins entries. Until now I
wasn't even aware of any significant Carle presence in this area of New
York. However, this book also included the name of George Carle as
one of the signers of the Articles of Association on April 29, 1775
among the representatives from Kingston -- just 10 days after the
battle of Lexington -- so the Carles have been in Ulster County for
quite some time.
As is so often the case, many entries are "teasers" -- just enough
information to get one interested in looking further but then that's
Genealogy.
For example,
Town of Kingston: "For nine years the church received aid from the Home
Mission Board, until with the coming of a new pastor, Rev. Mr. Carle,
came energy for self-support. The church was always Presbyterian in doctrine
and polity. Oct. 23, 1834, it was received under the care of the Presbytery
of Hudson, and remained in connection with the Presbytery till the disruption."
(p. 237, 1st part)
or,
From Ulster County:
"WOUNDED, MANASSAS, AUG 30, 1862"
The long list includes Peter S. Carle, Hezikiah Carle,
and Amos J. Carle
(p. 159-60, 1st Part)
or,
From the Kingston, 120th Regiment (War of 1861-65, or Civil War, depending
on your politics)
The complete roster is given but for our purposes:
Second Lieutenant Jason Carle, killed in action, July 2, 1863. (p. 161,
1st part)
and on the following page:
[describing the Battle at the Peach Orchard]
"Lieut. Ketcham of Company A, was the first officer killed, by the bursting
of a shell. Jason
Carle, of Saugerties, soon fell with half a dozen wounds..." (p. 162, 1st
part)
or,
from a "Soldier's List - War of 1861-1865, Town of Kingston":
"Peter Carle, 3rd Corp., enl. Sept. 23, 1861, 80th Regt., Co. K" (p. 291,
1st Part)
"Amos J. Carle, enl. Sept. 13, 1861, 80th regt., Co. K" (p. 291, 1st Part)
"Izra Carle, Corp., enl. Aug. 18, 1862, 120th Regt., Co. I" (p. 294, 1st Part)
"Uriah Carle, enl. Aug. 18, 1862, 120th Regt., Co. I" (p. 294, 1st Part)
I'll list other Carle entries from this source in a second posting.
Cheers...
