Greg,
It certainly is interesting, I only wish someone would find the link to these 2 families
and a few others that just seemed to have appeared out of thin air around the country. I
just know someone will, I know I'll be searching for answers until I can't
anymore.
Even the different spellings, I believe, are mostly originating from the same. The John
Carlisle I speak of from Pa. had a son named David, I found through much digging that his
family ended on changing it to 'Carlile'. These people where living in Trumbull
Co. Ohio. It's funny because I was born and raised in Trumbull Co., Ohio in Warren but
never knew any of these.
I live in Texas now due to steel industry closing and transferring here in 1978. This is
another story but it just shows how things can happen. I've found a couple of people
from our lineage who had left Ohio and died here around Dallas and Houston, but this was a
while back.
There are still 7 children of the original John Carlisle that we know nothing about.
George b. abt 1787, Samuel b. abt 1790, Rebecca b. abt 1794, Joseph b. 1798 and James b.
abt 1800. I do know who Hannah and Elizabeth married but that is about all. Hannah m.
James Bratton and Elizabeth m. Lancelot Johnson.
I know when John Carlisle died and think I found his grave in Ohio just east of Old
Washington, Guernsey Co. The dates all indicated that it was probably him, several of his
descendants were there only the spelling on the grave was spelled 'Carlile'.
Hope to here from you again, I'll contact you if I find anything.
Bill
