Hello Evelyn, Wish we had some of those after-noon showers. Your question on
the paper trail. Every time I think its becomeing slimmer,I always find
another. I 've always felt David and Alexander (1830 SC census) were
relatives, they were on the same census page in Char. and all went to MS
together. (David, Jehu, Alexander, Thomas and
Henry.) In going back over my notes, I realized David said his father was
foreign born
(and surely Scotch-Irish). I checked the census records for
Mary-1820Char.cen. At
that time she -1820- she would only have David at home,but she had 9 people
in her household. I tried James Carlile Sr and his family and they fit
perfectly. James and family
wife another Mary,James Jr., John, Alexander, daughter Mary and Thomas and
Henry/twins. James Sr. arrived in Charleston in 1818. Did not appear on the
1820 census in name,. but appeared on the 1830 Fairfield census with the
twins and Mary.
I believe James and family were living with Mary and David prior to going to
Fairfield Co.
Any questions?
Regards,
Fred

We have been having some of our afternoon storms,haven't had a chance to
get back with you. I have never seen Eliza's maiden name. Do you think
the paper trail has run out? I hope not.
Talk to you later
