had 10 children. They later moved to Anson, Jones County, TX where she died May 20, 1908.

Am searching for information on JOHN CARLISLE. JOHN CARLISLE was b. in late 1810, I
believe in Halifax co, NC. He left NC before 1830 and went to Bedford Co, TN. With him on
the 1830 TN census is one male, ten - fifteen, and one female, ten - fifteen. I believe
these to be siblings. They're still there in 1832. JOHN CARLISLE married MATILDA OPHELIA
PERRY in TN, b. 1819, in AL. Her parents were WILLIAM PERRY, b. 1797, KY, and JANE
STANFORD, b. ca 1799, SC. In 1840, JOHN and MATILDA were in Marion Co, AL, living very
close to ELIJAH and WILLIAM STANFORD. (The STANFORDS had left Giles Co, TN around 1808,
and settled in what was Marion Co at that time.) Living with them was: One male - under
five One female - under five One male - ten - fifteen One female - five - ten One male -
thirty - forty Two females - ten - fifteen One female - fifteen - twenty One female -
thirty to forty The ten - fifteen yr old male (brother?) that was with him in TN in 1830,
is not shown. Wheather he went to AL with JOHN, is unknown. I believe the female, fifteen
- twenty, is the same (sister?) shown with him in 1830. But who are the other two females
(ten - fifteen)???? JOHN and MATILDA had four more children in AL. Twins, JAMES NEWTON and
JASPER G., b. 1842. MALISSA JANE, b. 1844, and my g.father, FRANCIS MARION, b. 1846. By
1850, the family is in Chocktaw Co, MS, where HARLEY FRANKLIN was b. that year. MATILDA
died sometime in the last three months of 1850. Her mother, JANE STANFORD PERRY, died
after 1880. WILLIAM PERRY died in 1852 in MS, of the "flux". The finding of
other children in the CARLISLE household in 1840, came as a surprise to me. I knew one
child had been b. bef. they left TN (WILLIAM), but did not know of any daughters. I had
looked at this census several times, but because of the additional children, I passed it
over. I've only recently learned of the STANFORDS, and MARION CO, AL, so back census I
went! If ANYONE can tell me who the other children are, and who JOHN'S brother and sister
were, I would be MOST greatful!!! I would also love to know where JOHN'S father was born.
He indicated on the 1850 census that he was of foreign birth. CAN YOU HELP???? Thanks so
much.

Searching for info. on James Phillips who married Elizabeth "Betty" Cole in
Lauderdale Co., AL on 6 August, l843 (license obtained Aug. 5). Their son, James F.
Phillips, death certificate gives his parents as Wilson Phillips and Bettie Cole. Either
the father's name was perhaps James Wilson Phillips and this is the same man, or else this
is an error on the death certificate. I have not been able to find James and Betty on a
census record. Their son, James F. Phillips married Mary Morrison and they lived out their
lives in Lauderdale Co., AL. Can anyone place this couple on a census record or clear up
the James/Wilson Phillips name difference? Also desperately want to know who the siblings
of James F. Phillips were.
