THOMAS CARLE.
THOMAS CARLE lived on Long Island, and had two sons:
Jona; Jacob.
Jona Carle sold, in the year 1729, to Benjamin Pettit, of New Rochelle, in the
State of New York, 105 acres of land adjoining Passaic River, and yet in
the Pettit family.
In the deed, from John Blanchard for the Church Parsonage lot, Jacob Carle
is said to
adjoin it on the west; therefore it would seem that Jocob Carle and Jona
Carle owned
from the Parsonage lot up the river, to about the middle of the Pettit
farm, and that
Jacob sold the remainder to Elnathan Cory, who subsequently owned it.
Jacob Carle removed to the farm now owned by John Worth, on the north of
Dead River. He
then bought 500 acres, the one-fourth part of the Berkley Tract of 2000
acres, north of
Passaic River, on which his grandson, Daniel Carle, now lives.
Jacob Carle married Rebecca Stites, daughter of William Stites, and had
children:
1. John, who married Providence Layton, sister of Capt. Peter Layton.
(Providence and
Peter Layton's mother was sister of Richard Runyon, Sen.
2. Sarah, who married Bedient Baird, who lived where Clark Squier does.
3. Jonas, who married Anna Cooper, daughter of Daniel Cooper, 1st.
John Carle, son of Jacob Carle, lived on Long Hill, on the 500 Acre Tract,
which was
divided between him and his brother Jonas. He was a Justice of the Peace, a
Judge of
the Court and several time, a member of the Legislature of the State, and
in 1783, was
a member of the Privy Council.
