Hi Ann,
Thanks for the welcome. I'll be happy to provide what info I have.
In this first email I will list my lines as I have them now. In the next
I will give details of what I k now about Leonard and Daniel in
Orange Co, NC.
First My Patrilineal Descent from Leonard Carlton.
This is fairly well documented, so I am fairly certain of this line.
Leonard Carlton (?-1819)
m. Elizabeth “Betsy” Trice (?-?)
The Trices came from VA and, presumably, so did Leonard. Leonard died
in Jones Co. GA. More on that in my next post.
Thomas Trice Carlton (?-? )
m. Elizabeth “Betsy” Markham (1792-?)
Leonard was an executor for the estate (1804) of his father in law,
Thomas Trice.
Thomas left 400 acres in Orange Co, NC to his grandson and namesake,
Thomas Trice Carlton.
TTC and Betsy Markham had seven children.
Wesley P. Carlton (1825-? )
m. Laura Lowe (1824/5-?)
Wesley had eight children.
James Madison Carlton (1853-1925)
m. Elizabeth King (1829-1904)
J.M. Carlton is buried in what used to be wooded area off of
Leesville Rd in Wake Co, NC. It is being made into a library, community
center and park. I am assured that the graves will be undisturbed.
Marcellus Judson Carlton (1871-1960)
m. A. Fisher (1863-1930)
Marcellus was a Justice of the Peace and Farmer. He is buried in the
Ebenezer Baptist Churchyard in western Wake Co. NC.
Marcellus Everett Carlton, Sr ( -1942)
m. Vallie McGhee (1893-1974)
Everett was one of five sons. As far as I know only three
grandchildren are still living.
Marcellus Everett Carlton, Jr (1923-1974)
m. Elizabeth Woltz (1925- )
My parents moved to TN in the mid 1950's.
NEXT is my descent from DANIEL Carlton via my mother's line (This one
zig zags from father to mother).
I am not at all certain about this line. Corrections would be most
welcome.
Daniel Carlton (1769-1856)
m. Nancy Ann Daniel (1772-1850)
Well attested.
Nancy Ann Carlton Leigh (1816-1861)
m. Richard S. Leigh (1809-1898)
Well attested.
Gustine Texanna Leigh Tilley (1843-1877)
m. James S. Tilley (?-?)
Albertus H. Tilley (1871-?)
m. Alice Corabell Smith (1867-?)
Well attested.
Flora Blanche Tilley Woltz (1906-2000)
m. James A. Woltz (1908-1958)
Well attested.
Elizabeth Woltz Carlton (1925- )
m. M. Everett Carlton, Jr (1923-1974)
The only questionable link in this chain is Gustine Texanna Leigh to
James S. Tilley. If that is correct, then
everything else is.
