Message Board Post:
I am looking for the parents of my g,g,g,g,grandfather William Carlisle who was born in
North Carolina and lived most of his adult life in Jackson County, Tennessee. Here is the
information I have.
In William Carlisle's pension application for service in the Revolution, he says he
was born in Guilford County NC November 18, 1764. He says that he entered the militia from
Surry County NC in 1780 subsituting for Moses Hazel, his stepfather. (Yes, he would have
been only 15 years old and though he collected the pension for a while, it was later
denied his widow on these grounds.) There is a Moses Hazlett who married a Rachel Campbell
in Guilford, NC on Feb 29, 1772. Moses Hazlett is listed in Surry County in 1782 tax list
and in Surry county in 1790 and 1800 under the spelling Hazle. (In William Carlisle's
pension record the name is spelled Hazel.) Is it possible that Rachel Campbell was Rachel
Carlisle Campbell, mother of William by an earlier marriage? The dates seem to work and
there were extensive Campbell/Carlile/Carlisle connections in Augusta and Bath Counties in
Virginia, but I haven't been able to make the link.
William Carlisle married Nancy Kirkpatrick on April 19, 1792 in Madison County, Kentucky
and lived in Green County, Kentucky and Jackson County, Tennessee.
Can anyone help out?
