I have Carleton ancestors who lived in Cumberland, MD in the 1800s. James P. Carleton
lived just east of Cumberland. He married Martha Murray about 1798 and had the following
children: Mary, John M., twins Martha and Margarette, Henry Dunlap, Adeline, James P. Jr.
Elmira (or Eleanor) and two other daughters. James' wife Martha died in 1817 and James
married Mary Magill the following year. In 1852 most of the family moved to St. Louis or
Iowa. I am desended from John M. All things point to a Richard Carleton and wife Margaret
Jones being James' parents. They were married in Philadelphia in 1778 at Swedes
Church. From census, the first two children, Mary and John M. were born in Baltimore.
That is as much as I know at this point but would like to know more.
