Hi,
I am looking for any decendants of a James M. Carlisle who lived in the D.C. area
throughout the 1800's. He was a Scottish lawyer born around 1820. I know he also had
a son by the same name.
I am a decendant of the elder James M. Carlisle through an interracial, illegitimate
affair and my great-grandfather, John Abraham Davis, was the result. He took the last
name Davis from his mother and decided he wanted nothing to do with his father.
Therefore, other than the fact that he was a prominent Scottish lawyer in D.C. in the
1800's and his name, I really have no information on James M. Carlisle and this side
of the family. Anything anyone could provide would be wonderful :).
Thank you.
Cassie
