I am descended from William Carlisle (1794-1879) and his wife Eleanor
Elizabeth Cooper (1795-1866). They came to the US in 1848 and 1849,
respectively, with their children Samuel, Mary Jane (married John W.
Cephas), Eliza (married William H. Powell), Sarah, William J., Margaret
(married Samuel Rodgers), and Agnes (?). They lived in New
Philadelphia, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, and many are buried at the Fair
Avenue Cemetery.
There are several land transactions in Brooke County, WV, 1814, and in
Union and Tuscarawas Counties in the 1830s involving William and James
Carlisle. Does anyone have any information that might link these
individuals? Thank you.
