Hi.
If there is a connection, it will likely be back a couple generations. Our James Carlisle
came from PA and was in TN early. A daughter, Sarah, married Richard Searcy in Knox Co. in
1798. His son, my 3rd great-grandfather, William W. Carlisle was "from PA" too,
but we do not know for sure if he was born there. These William W. Carlisle married Jane
McCoy in 1808, probably in TN, but possibly in KY. Others of these McCoys and related
families were in Garrard Co. and around Lexington in the late 1790's and very early
1800's, then moved to middle TN, especially Bedford Co. and Coffee Co.
I would bet that our connection is from PA, assuming there is one, of course!
Greg
