For those of you who have been researching the William Carlile and Sarah Guthrie family of
George Gerome Carlile, Samuel W. Carlile, Mary Matilda Carlile and Martha J. Carlile, I
recently found the marriage record of George Gerome Carlile and Mary M. Parsley in
Jackson Co., KS: Mary M. PARSLEY married to George G. CARLILE , 15 Nov 1881, Marriage
License Bk B, P 270
Another family member thought the marriage was in Topeka, Shawnee, KS and I suppose the
ceremony could have been there, but I cannot confirm it, so for now, I will list the
marriage as Jackson Co., KS
I also recently discovered that Mary Parsley's parents were William H. Parsley and
Penelope A. Shingleton. Their marriage record is recorded in Jefferson Co., KS as William
H. PARSLEY m. Penelope A. SHINGLITON - no ages or residences listed - 12 Feb 1857; Source:
MARRIAGE LICENSES OF RECORD JEFFERSON COUNTY, KANSAS 1855-1930 compiled by Jefferson
County Genealogical Society, 1990.
I have additional information on the Shingleton family but need some help on the Parsley
family.
I also would like to find out anything on Martha J. Carlile, whom I thought had married
William Ross Stover. i am not positive about that marriage. Thank you very much.
