Hi Nancy, Your John Stephen Carlile is, I believe, brother to my Thomas
Carlile ca 1805-1880. I have found your John on both the 1850 and 1860
Arkansas census. The father of these two is William Niler Carlile Sr.
Sue Erickson and I have been tracking William Sr. across Arkansas.
I have a note in my records that says "There is a Thomas Burrows liviing
in Cadron, Pulaski Co. Might be Martha's father"
Dian
My ancestor is John Stephen Carlile, b. MO 5 Mar
1811, d. TX 18 June1902. He was married to Martha Burrows first
(m.13 Jan
1831 AR). She bore him 7 children:
Thomas Green Carlile 1832 AR
Charles William Carlile 1834 AR
William Russell Carlile 1836 AR
Sarah Ellenor Carlile 1840 AR
Nancy Bedford Carlile 1842 AR
Martha Emily Carlile 1843 AR
Mary Jane Carlile 1846 AR
After her death he married Nancy Lucas Jones, widow. They married in TX 3
Jan 1871. They had no children. I believe John's father was Thomas Green
Carlile, but I have no proof.
If any of these names look familiar, would like to share information.
Thanks,
Nancy
