Rose,
I really appreciate your doing this.
Maybe it will help to break down my brickwall re John Carlisle b. est.1770
m. Nancy Sims b. 1770 est. from North Carolina, maybe South Carolina.
Timewise he could have been an older brother of your Richard. There are no
female descendants with the name Phoebe though.
Thanks again,
Henny

In response I am copying this book (very slowly) and am going to put the
first
generation in here,
for those who havea question on time and names that might tie in.
CARLISLE FAMILY HISTORY
Page one, Chapter one.
BY: Cecil Allen Carlisle
First generation:
Although there are numerous branches of the Carlisle family and the
surname is found in nearly every state of the union, this history is
primarily a study of Richard Carlisle of Marlborough District of South
Carolina, and his descendants. He was born May 29th 1774, and died Dec
15th 1854. Following the pioneering trend of that period when settlers
left the seaboard states and migrated westward in quest of permanent
homes, Richard Carlisle and his immediate family left South Carolina in
1832 and settled in Jefferson County, Ala. Where after 129 years. Many
of his descendants are still found.
Much authoritative information exists concerning Richard Carlisle and
his son's which is authenticated by early census reports, family Bibles,
courthouse records and church records. Tradition and research both
indicate that Richard's ancestors came to America from England. His
mother's name was Phoebe; and it is believed that she was descended from
the Puritans of New England According to the "History of the Old
Cheraws", her husband was among the first to volunteer to resist British
oppression and was mortally wounded at the battle of Bunker Hill during
the American Revolution.
Carlisle's in early South Carolina:
According to tradition, the Carlisle's came from South Carolina from
Virginia. Phoebe Carlisle is shown as head of the household with a
sixteen- year- old son Richard, in the US Census of 1790. At that time
they were living in Cheraw District , S.C., which was later devided into
several districts, one of which was Marlborough, now Marlboro County. At
one time they lived iin the area of Dyer's Hill and Crooked Creek.
After Richard married , it is believed that he lived in the village
which grew up around Marlboro County's first courthouse.
The village where the first courthouse was built was called simply "The
Courthouse." In later years it became known as "Carlisle," having been
named for Richard Carlisle. The village of Carlisle was located six
miles west and a little south of present day Bennettsville. It was the
county seat for
