MS Carlisle Researchers:
Has anyone found information that ties Elizabeth Jane Meadows, daughter of Isham Meadows,
Jr., of Georgia (later of Alabama), with John B. Carlisle, in the early 1800s in Georgia?
My gg-grandmother is Elizabeth_?_Carlisle. I have seen her maiden name listed as Saunders,
as Monroe and most recently, I found her listed on Ancestry as Elizabeth Meadows Carlisle.
I have found no documentation on any of these maiden names.
Elizabeth and John B. Carlisle were married circa 1814, somewhere in Georgia. No marriage
record has been found. Census records show their two oldest children were born circa 1815
and 1817 in Georgia.
The family moved from Georgia to Lawrence Co., Mississippi by 1820. John Carlisle is
listed there in the 1820/30/40 Census Records, as is his father, Thomas Carlisle and also
a brother, James Carlisle. (James Carlisle was also married in Georgia to Mary E. Bishop,
circa 1815/16. No marriage record for them has been found.)
Some of Elizabeth and John B. Carlisle's children have names that correspond with
Isham Meadows, Jr.'s children: Benjamin, Ransom, Priscilla, William, Nancy, Isham
III, Susanna, Elizabeth Jane, Asa, Edward, Daniel, James and Martha.
It may be a coincidence, but I wonder----
1. Thomas Meadows Carlisle, b. circa 1815 GA
2. William M. Carlisle, b. circa 1817 GA
3. Nancy Carlisle, b. circa 1819 MS
4. Asa Monroe Carlisle, b. 16 Nov. 1821 MS
5. Allen Robertson Carlisle, b. circa 1822 MS
6. Elizabeth Ann Caroline/"Sulie Ann" Carlisle, b. circa 1823 MS
7. James M. Carlisle, b. circa 1825 MS
8. John A. Carlisle, b. circa 1827 MS
9. Ransom Carlisle, b. circa 1829 MS
10. Isham Carlisle, b. 1831 MS (Isham named a son Meadows Carlisle)
11. Edward J. Carlisle, b. 27 Nov. 1833 MS
12. Perry Carlisle, b. circa 1836 MS
13. Daughter Carlisle, b. circa 1838 (Based on 1840 Census;
not named/listed in 1850 Census)
14. Stephen Carlisle, b. 1840 MS
15. Priscilla Jane Carlisle, b. 1842 MS
John B.(Boyd) Carlisle, born 1793/94 NC/SC, died circa 1867/68 MS, and Elizabeth, born
1797/98 GA, died circa 1880/81 MS, at age 83. They are buried in Lawrence Co., MS, but the
burial place is unknown.
It would be great to have confirmation that Elizabeth_____Carlisle is Elizabeth Jane
Meadows Carlisle, (or that she isn't). Do you have any ideas? Have you any information
about Elizabeth Carlisle or Elizabeth Jane Meadows that may confirm or totally discount
this theory?
Hope someone can help! Thank you much for your time and interest.
