I am still seeking information on my Great Grandfather, John Carlisle b. 28 April 1873
Cedar Creek Hundred Area of Sussex Co. DE. m. Elizabeth "Jay" Lambert of NJ who
I am also at a dead end on. They divorced and "Jay" remarried but John did not.
I believe he died in Highbridge NJ but have not confirmed that, my mom says that she
thought "Jay" had told her that he left for OHIO. I am not sure how many
children they had but one of them was Vernon John SR, Carlisle b. 6 June 1906 in
Highbridge NJ d. 8 June 1954 in South Plainfield, NJ. m. Rose Lee Donovan whos mother,
Martha "Mattie" Webb was from either MD or DE and her father Randolph Marshall
Donovan was from Cedar Creek Hundred area of Sussex Co. Vernon Sr. had two sons Vernon
John Jr., my dad, and his brother Robert. I have been told by my mom that John came from a
long line of Carlisle's from DE. Vernon Jr. was in the US Navy and I believe his
father was also. I did find a match for him in the WWI Civilian Draft Record!
s but that was all. There was also a John W. Carlisle lislted from Sussex, cousin? There
was another man listed, John Carlisle Radcliff, as a relative visiting from Camden NJ. If
any one has any info on this line please contact me. Have been at a dead end now for about
3 1/2 years.
