Subject: [CARLISLE-L] Carlisle,Coleman,Feaster-Halifax,NC-Fairfields Co.SC
I have searched a long time for my Carlisle-Coleman connection, can
anyone help?
Lewis A. Coleman wrote this story about an event that happen
Dec.17,1867. His
parents were Robert Henry Coleman and Julia Feaster. Grandparents-Hiram
Henry
Coleman,Eliza Beam. GGP-Robert Roe Coleman,Nancy Coleman. GGGP Robert
Coleman,
Elizabeth Roe(Fairfield Co.SC). GGGGP Robert Coleman,Francis
Mathis(1st),
Susan Unk(2nd)(Halifax Co.NC). There was Carlisle's and Coleman's in
both
Halifax Co. and Edgecombe Co. NC. My Carlisle is Alexander Carlisle. His
sons
were Alexander, David Nathaniel And Jehu(John). I believe my Alexander
Carlisle
was related to Nathaniel in Halifax or Robert in Edgecombe or BOTH. I
also
realize Aunt Eliza b.1810 could be Coleman or a Feaster.
Can anyone help with this problem. Thanks,Fred Carlile

Hello,
During your research have you ever ran across a LEVI CARLISLE, b. 1780-90
and married Penny Strickland on 19 Feb. 1822 Halifax Co., NC? I'm trying to
find out who his parents and siblings were. He may have had a sister named
Mary who married a Mr. Sparkman.
My Carlisle's lived in an area called Scotland Neck, NC.
I'd be very grateful for any help.
Thnaks,
Lynn Hawkins
