I'm looking for any information on my gg grandfather John Layton Carlisle.
The first information I found on him was that he was in Illinois in
1865-1870 (married Martha Bryan(t) in Scott County, Ill) and then the 1870
census showed he was still there in 1870. Martha died sometime soon after
that and left my g grandfather with J.L. and J.L. remarried and moved to
Houston County, TX, His next wife died and he remarried again to Margaret
Wright and moved to Hamilton County, TX in 1880. He left John Thomas - my
great grandfather in Houston County, Tx (aged 10). Don't know who he left
him with or why. John Thomas was killed when he was 24 in a wagon accident.
My grandmother was only 2. When her mother remarried and moved away - most
contact with the Carlisles was lost. Any information would be so
appreciated. I have made little progress on him in the last 5 years. Sue
