James W. Carlisle, wife and family can be found in the 1870 Etowah Co., AL census. His
name is listed in the index as J. W. Carlile. It shows J.W., age 35; Eliza, age 30; W.T.,
age 12; J.D., age 10; James B., age 5; Willis J, age 3; and Carson, age 3 mos. Carson was
born in AL, the rest were born in GA. Some of the birth years differ slightly than other
census records, but the list of the names are all the same. The J.D. is Jane Dora
Carlisle. She married Norman C. Blair. They are in the 1880 Cass Co., TX census listed
as N.C. Blair and wife Dorha. N.C. Blair died between 1888-1900. His widow Dora, can be
found in 1910 Calcasieu, LA, listed as Dora Blair. She is also found in the 1930 Orange
Co., TX census, listed as Jane Blais in the index (but it is Blair when you look at the
actual record). According to Dora's death certificate, she was born in Atlanta, GA 7
Aug 1862. She died in Orange, Orange Co., TX 11 Oct 1947. I have been unable to find
Dora in the 1900 !
or 1920 census records.
