This is what information I have on J.L. Carlisle. He is my gg
grandfather and I have never been able to find anything on him prior to
1865 when he married Martha Bryant. Any help or ideas will be so
appreciated. Sue G.
Oh yes, he first went to Houston County, TX when he came from Illinois
with his son from his marriage to Martha Bryant. When he and his third
wife left Houston County, he apparently left his 10 year old son there,
perhaps with his brother in law, Levi Bryant.
