CARLE, Moses - Windsor Township, Henry Co, MO - Moses
Carle was born December 7, 1814, in Fayette County,
Pennsylvania, where in youth he received a good education.
His father, William Carle, a blacksmith and farmer by occupation,
was born October 1, 1789, in New Jersey, while his
mother, Sarah Dulaney, was born September 18, 1786,
in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. They were married in
1808, and to them were born five children, four sons
and one daughter, but only two are living:
Mary was born March 27, 1809; John, born December 27, 1811; Moses, born
December 7, 1814; Thomas, born June 11, 1818, and Albert G., born April 20,
1822. William Carle emigrated with his parents in an early day from New
Jersey, to Fayette County, Pennsylvania, where he was reared to manhood.
His son, Moses, commenced life for himself at the age of twenty-one
years. He was married January 4, 1838, to Miss Eliza
Jane Bunker, of the same county as himself, and by this
marriage there are six children, four daughters and two sons.
In 1842, he removed to Ohio, and there bought 170 acres of land,
remaining upon it for two years. At this time he sold his farm and
located on property which he had purchased, embracing land and a saw mill.
Three years after he disposed of that, and renting a farm,
for several years was employed in farming. In 1865, he
bought another estate in the same county, and making
improvements lived upon it for six years, when he again
sold out. In 1872, he came to Henry County, Missouri, at
first buying forty acres, but from time to time he has
added thereto until now he has 140 acres under good
improvement. He, in connection with his son, G. B.
Carle, is successful in his farming operations, and
also in the stock industry, they raising fine blooded
hogs of the Jersey breed. In 1849, Mr. Carle having
received a commission as captain, organized a company
intended for the Mexican War, but was never called into
actual service. He was also the enrolling officer during the civil
war of 1861, though never engaged as a soldier on
account of age. Religiously he is a Methodist, and
in politics a Democrat. George B. Carle, his eldest son,
enlisted July 24, 1862, in Company K, Ninetieth Ohio
Infantry Volunteers, Captain Morris Rowe commanding,
as private, and served for three years in that capacity.
He was regularly discharged June 20, 1865, at Camp
Denison, Ohio.
