Hi Eugene, thanks for sending the information below. Do you know what
happened to Elizabeth Carlton? I can't seem to find her in the censuses.
Do you surmise that John Carlton died in Grant Co, AR? I cannot find him in
the census either. I will try again this weekend.

Hi Eugene, thank you for answering the Roll Call.
This is what I have on Silas Carlton and I think he is the father of your
John Carlton.
Silas Carlton is the son of Thomas Carlton and his second wife, Catherine
Livingston and he was born in Wilkes Co., NC.
My cousin and good friend, George H. Carlton who wrote the book I
previously
mentioned in the request for Roll Call gives the following information on
Silas.
"Silas probably migrated with his sisters to Jackson Co., AL in the
1830s." There is a pension application dated, 7 Sept 1838) of his widow,
which gives the rest of the story about Silas. The pension states Silas
died of "Brain Fever". He was private in the North Alabama Mounted
Volunteers(did he furnish his own horse?); entered service 8 Sep 1836.
There are several other statements in this pension application and also
states a son, John P. Carlton about two years old. Do you have a copy of
this pension?
Silas Carlton is also mentioned in Thomas Carlton's will of 1837,
Wilkes Co., NC, but was not probated until 1844/45.
As this fits, you and I are distant cousins which I will explain in a
later
E-mail.
Let us know how this information works with your research.

My brick wall is John Carlton b 1836 Jackson County, Alabama. Married
Elizabeth Robertson in MS. no date. Looking for his Mother and Father.
I
have a Silas Carlton b 1810 d 1836. m Elizabeth Owens 10 Sept. 1835. He
died in 1836. Left one son, John Carlton. I think Silas Carlton may be his
father, but have no documentation. John Carlton is my ggrandfather. His
daughter Mary A Carlton married my grand father Thomas D Henslee in 1889
in
Arkansas. His daughter Ruby C Henslee m Roy E Goodwin 1926 in Louisiana. I
am one of Roy E and Ruby Goodwin son's.
