Hi Betty,
James McCoy Carlisle, Jr., b. 11 May, 1851 in Beech Grove, Coffee Co., TN, d. 14 Jul.,
1922 in Arlington, Tarrant Co., TX. He married twice, first to Mary Elizabeth Anderson, by
whom his three children were born. He married Julia Lavinia Vineyard second. He was Texas
State Superintendent of Schools for several years, was an educator practically his entire
adult life (mostly in TX after moving there from TN), and was the founder of several
schools, most notably the Carlisle Military Academy in Arlington, TX, which is to this day
the Military Sciences wing of the University of Texas at Arlington.
J. M. Carlisle, Jr. was the son of James McCoy Carlisle, Sr., b. 17 Dec., 1811 in TN, d.
23 Apr., 1900 at Beech Grove, Coffee Co., TN, and Mary (Bird) Carlisle.
J. M. Carlisle, Sr. was the son of William W. Carlisle, b. 18 Feb., 1784. William W. came
from PA, and was probably born there. He d. 20 Jul., 1855 most likely in Coffee Co., TN.
His wife was Jane McCoy, b. 11 Feb., 1779, d. 25 May, 1852. She was from NC.
William W. Carlisle was the son of James Carlisle of PA and his wife, Jane.
Glad to help further if I can.
