Second Generation
uite probable that his early childhood was spent in the village of
Carlisle, site of the first courthouse of Marlboro County, which had
been named for his father, Richard Carlisle.
At the age of nineteen Jason married Permelia Ann Elizabeth Stubbs,
daughter of Lewis and Mary Stubbs, residents of Marlboro County. Both
were born in South Carolina, Lewis Stubbs in 1781, and his wife in 1782.
They migrated in 1833 to Pike County, Ala., where they farmed. Lewis
Stubbs was an industrious and patriotic citizen, served in the war of
1812. He died in 1853 at the age of 72. In his will, made Aug 20, 1853,
and recorded in the Pike County Courthouse, Troy, Ala., he mentioned his
daughter, Permelia (Stubbs) Carlisle.
Jason moved from Marlboro Co., SC., to Jefferson Co, Ala., in about
1830. The first land he owned in Ala., was 81 acres which he purchased
Dec 30, 1831, near what is now the East Lake section of Birmingham. Two
or three years later he moved to Pike, now Bullock County, Ala.,
settling six miles south of Union Springs. He lived there about six
years, after which he came back to Jefferson County and farmed.
Again Pike County called Jason; and he returned, this time settling near
Orion in 1846, where he lived for about twenty-five years. The US Census
of 1850 shows him a prosperous farmer with 13 slaves. He owned 1000
acres of land and was outstanding in the community. During the Civil
War, four of his sons served in the Confederate Army, the youngest of
whom was killed in battle. The war was costly to Jason in more ways than
one. Another son who served throughout the war, died soon after it's
close, of a disease contracted in the service. His slaves had been set
free and he sold considerable land for confederate money, which at the
close of the war became worthless.
In 1872, Jason moved back to Jefferson County where he spent the
remaining years of his life. His farm consisting of 140 acres, which he
purchased Aug 23, 1872, was situated between Trussville and Chalkville;
the house in which he lived is still standing. He was a hard-working
self-made man, devoted to his family. He served in the Creek war in
1836. A consistent and liberal member of the Baptist Church, he served
as a deacon for nearly a half century. Jason Carlisle died Jan 13, 1880.
His grave, clearly marked with complete information, on a well preserved
stone, is in Cahaba Baptist Church Cemetery, Trussville, Alabama.
