D Carlisle

I wish there was more detail about the history Orville Carlisle was taking to Porter County, Indiana and what were the maps he took with him?

R B Ashley = Roscoe Boyd Ashley of Rochester, NY, nephew of Daniel Carlisle. With his father he ran a hotel, the Clinton House, and surely had extra items to donate to the family.

A C Day = Andrew C Day. On the 1860 census of Buchanan Township Mr Day had real estate valued at 15,000 and personal

Julia Ann Carr's third husband was Henry Hall. She also had a daughter named Tamerson Glover, from her 1st marriage to Orville Glover.

Tamerson

Obviously, I really struggled with this one. Tamerson's handwritting is  very pretty but hard to read. There are other letters by her and I did not struggle with them as much as I did this one. I must have know that it would be difficult, I took 23 images, almost three per page. I will revisit this letter at a later time and see if I can do better.

I did not find a letter from Hannah asking about shopping in Chicago.

Horace F Strong married Robina A Terriere, 13 Nov 1862. Dibeans marriage index for Berrien County.

William Huston married Sarah E Frame, 6 Nov 1862. Dibeans marriage index for Berrien County.

Unpleasant News

Nov. 1st <1862>

Dear Mother

It is with a sad heart that I
now seat myself to inform you that we are
now left desolate. Our house, barn and all
(with many other buildings) was yesterday burned to
the ground. About two o'clock afternoon a fire broke
out in a shop. just a little south
of the sash factory, it was burned and Kelly's
shop Mrs. Dutton's house, Rea_den and Mead's
grocery. Ross and Bainton store. The grocery
and store joined Dutton's house. The old
brick store and all the buildings up to Miller's
shop. Dr Dodd's barn, Livery Stable paint
shop and Blacksmith shop. We thought the
whole town would burn the wind blew very
hard and we had no fire Engine. They teligr-
aphed to Niles for theirs, but in such confusion
that it could not be read when it got
there. A man was sent - finaly on horse back.
Some of our things were saved. one bed stead
three or four feather beds, and some bed clothes.
tables and chairs. no dishes or spoons. No one

page 2 (076)

was at home when the fire comenced. Tamerson
went to Mr. Dewey's a visiting and was taken
sick, but she had recovered so that when the
alarm came there she was able to come home
Pa was over the river digging potatoes. Fannie was
up to Aunt Julia's. Bell and myself were at
school. Fannie and the men suceeded in
getting most of the things out of the
front room and some out of the chamber.
but what is that towards housekeeping.
None of us but fannie have a chang of
under clothes some of our dresses were saved.
Aunt Julia had a conjestive
chill a few days ago she was very sick, but is
better now. Alonzo How was hurt while
digging sand a few days since and died last
night. his back was broken. Many folks are
sick. some of them in the country. Some
of the folks were so exhausted and frightened that it was
thought that they could not recover. in all about
twenty four buildings. Mrs. Dutton has nothing but
the clothes on her back. After her things were taken
out they were burned. Alexander says to his wife we are
poor now that is himself. It really seemed as though
the day of judgement had come. but we are preserved
alive

page 3 (077)

we will rent a house for the present - I
think it will be the old cottage house
on the hill back of the parsonage.
You of core will use your own judgement
about coming home. It seems to me
if you can earn any thing there
you had better stay. The people are
very kind to us. they say that we shall
have a new house right - away. Mr Dewey
wants to employ Fannie in his office to
set type the terms were good. perhaps since
our trouble he will give more. we do not
know what to do. I wrote to uncle A.
I guess he will help us. write as soon as
you get this.

To Save I Could not get it drawed Was disappointed
By two Who promised to see it I have But Little
Hay Was not able to save any Corn fodder What
I Am to doe I know not But mean to Let it
Trouble me as Little as posible We doe mostly
Without meat I Cannot Buy much I have a
Large Calf to kill soon I have not Been
able to get a hog or pig sinc you Left it is
Cheaper to Buy Pork than to Buy the hogs and
And corn to fat them my greatest trouble is

About uniting on one ticket Some of them the
Wire Workers of the Demo party & Some disappend
office Seekers of the Republicans have made a
State nomination half and half of each party
many of the egnorant on each Side are honest and

To Break up the republican organisation and
Elect part of their own Party But they cannot
Decieve All We have nominated for Congress

He Went to Louisville Tuesdays paper gave
An account of a hard Battle At Perryville
Stating the mich Cavelry Suffered in it __y
Badly Since that I can find no details of it
I must close or Lose the mail
D Carlisle

So while Hannah Glover Carlisle was very patriot we learn that another reason for her joining the army as a nurse was financial. Times were hard for the family and about to get worse. Note that the bureau has been moved to the buttery.

J.R was probably the John mentioned in the last letter. The prairie I think referred to White Pigeon Prairie in St Joseph County where the family had first settled when they arrived in Michigan.

H Hathaway may have been Homer Hathaway, born about 1833 NY, living in Buchanan, MI on the 1860 census.

J Kelley could have been either John Kelly / John Kelley or Joseph Kelly / Joseph Kelley.

Doct Roe = J M Roe

Amos H Clark, born about 1808 PA, living in Buchanan, MI on the 1860 census.

A Sherwood could refer to either Alonzo Sherwood or Asa Sherwood.

Daniel lived in the village of Buchanan but his land was on the other side of the St Joseph river. I don't know where Tamerson would have been going to school. I also don't know who Bill, Dick or Cato were.

Julia = Julia Ann Carr Glover Earl, sister-in-law of Hannah Glover Carlisle.

Doctor Roe = J M Roe born about 1825 Indiana, per 1860 census. Probably son of Ely Roe.

Ben Rugg may have been Benjamin F Rugg born abt 1843 Indiana, living in Niles on 1860 census.

There were several men named John Hunter that I have found records for in Berrien and Cass counties.

Carlisle Family Letters

It's been almost four years since I traveled to Michigan and photographed most of the collection of family letters at the Bentley Historical Library. The prospect of transcribing nearly 3,000 images was overwhelming so I broke the collection down by family groups and started with the smallest group, the Hall letters and then moved on to the ones pertaining to the Camfield family. Since there is so much overlap between the Carlisle letters and the Camfield letters I am going back to the beginning and will start posting the Civil War Era letters tomorrow. I had hoped to obtain the letters of Ashley Carlisle before I began this project and that hasn't happened. When I do gave them I will post them as a group and then back date them so that they appear in their proper place. And to keep things in order several letters that I have previously posted will be repeated.

Rather than write a long history of the family I am giving very brief biographies of the people that will appear in the early letters. Other relationships will unfold as the letters progress. I will also be updating my online tree as I go. You can access it here. (If you don't have a paid membership to Ancestry.com and desire access, please contact me by email.)

Daniel Carlisle III. Son of Daniel Carlisle and Zipporah Wheeler. He was born in 1797 in Westmoreland, NH. By 1830 he was living in Bristol, NY where according to family papers he ran an inn. It was about then that he married Louisa Lambert Glover, the daughter of David Glover and Tamesin Hall. Daniel and Louisa had six children. In 1839 he and his family joined extended family, including his brother-in-law Orville Glover, and moved to Cass County, Michigan, where Louisa died in 1851. In 1852 Daniel married Hannah Lewis Glover, the youngest sister of his first wife. At the start of the Civil War Daniel was 63.

Hannah L Carlisle. Hannah Lewis Glover was born 1823 in Phelps, NY and was the youngest child of David Glover and Tamesin Hall. After her sister Louisa died she married her brother-in-law Daniel Carlisle who was almost 25 years older than she. After her two step-sons enlisted she became a nurse and worked at the Post Hospital, Columbus, KY. More about her can be found here.

Orville Daniel Carlisle. Second son of Daniel and Louisa, he was born 1832 Bristol, NY. Enlisted in 1861 and was discharged for disability in 1862. He married Lydia Bartlett in 1865.

Tamerson Zipporah Carlisle. Eldest daughter of Daniel and Louisa, she was born 1837 in Gaines, NY. She married James Evans in 1866.

Mary Elizabeth Carlisle. Daughter of Daniel and Louisa, she was born 1840 in Edwardsburg, MI. She married Werter Davis Rynearson in 1868.

Isaac Ashley Carlisle. Almost always called Ashley, he was the youngest son of Daniel and Louisa, born 1842 in Edwardsburg, MI. (He was named for his father's brother-in-law, Isaac Ashley) He joined the army at the age of 19. Some accounts say he joined against his parents wishes and others say he had their full support.

Fannie Louise Carlisle. Youngest child of Daniel and Louisa, she was born 1845 in LaGrange, MI. I am still working on her story and will let in unfold through the letters.

Arabella Carlisle. Belle was the only child of Daniel Carlisle and Hannah L Glover. She was born 1857 in Buchanan, MI. At the age of 4 she went with her mother and lived at the Post Hospital in Columbus, KY.

Issac Ashley was born in 1796 and married Charlotte Carlisle, sister of Daniel, in 1823. Isaac was a wealthy businessman and hotel keeper. Roscoe Boyd Ashley and Zipporah Ashley Wilcox were their children.

Julia Ann Carr. Referred to as Aunt Julia in the letters, she was born 1818 in Albion, NY and was the daughter of Joseph Carr. (A John Carr is mentioned in the letters and I have not yet worked on determining his relationship). She married first, Orville B Glover who was the brother of Louisa and Hannah. After Orville died in 1852 she married John Earl and he died in 1858. Her third husband was Henry J Hall and they lived in Buchanan, MI.

Many other people are named in the letters. If I have more information on them I will note that as the letters appear and hopefully add them to a tree I have created, Unrelated Individuals referenced in family letters.

Middle Name Mysteries

When I first started exploring my family history there were certain names that jumped out at me and I was certain that they held clues that would lead me to previous generations. .

First there was Isaac Ashley Carlisle. He always went by Ashley, or occasionally I. Ashley so surely I must of had an Ashley ancestor back there somewhere. Not exactly. He was named for his father's brother-in-law, Isaac Ashley of Rochester, NY. He was extremely generous to the family and naming a child for him was simply a way of honoring him for what he'd done.

My grandmother's brother was named Leroy Eastwood Camfield. I struggled with my Camfield and Graham lines for years and was certain that Eastwood was a clue. I learned through the family letters that Mr. Eastwood was a business man in South Bend, Indiana that my great-grandfather admired.

But there has been one success. David Glover was the son of Henry Glover and Hannah Lewis. He named a son Lewis E. Glover and a daughter Hannah Lewis Glover. For his other children I only have middle initials except for my great-great-grandmother. Her name was Lousia Lambert Glover. I still have no idea if Lambert is a hint but I keep it in mind as I work on this line.

My grandfather was Kimberly Powell Berry. Not only is he the only male named Kimberly that I've come across but I'm stumped on the middle name Powell. Grandpa's siblings were Mabel Gertrude, Esther Lillian and Thomas David, nothing that seems to be a surname for any of them. For now grandpa's name remains a mystery.

My grandmother and most (maybe all) of her siblings had surnames as middle names.
The children of James C Kelly and Isabella White were:

1. James Hurcombe Kelly
2. Mabel Adam Kelly
3. Phillip Goodwin Kelly
4. Alexander Craig Kelly
5. Mary Leith Kelly
6. Gordon ____ Kelly
7. Isabelle Caldwell Kelly
8. Joseph _____ Kelly

Isabella White's mother was Isabella Craig and her mother was Agnes Adam.

I have lots of work to do on this section of my tree. I'm hoping that keeping a post-it on my computer with the names Hurcombe, Goodwin, Leith and Caldwell helps me fill in some of the blanks.

Thomas Carlisle born in Scotland and reared in one of the shires in England.[A clue? This is the only place I have seen this information.]
I do not know what the relationship was but think he must have been the father
of Daniel Carlisle [Daniel Carlisle 1738-1794] given below.

Daniel Carlisle born in West Moreland County, New Hampshire in 1767 died
was married to Zipporah Wheeler born 1772, died 1821. [Other family papers say 1831.] Their children were
1. Daniel Carlisle born 1797
2. Betsy Carlisle born 1800.
3. Mahalia [Mahala]Carlisle born 1802.
4. Relief Carlisle born 1803.
5. Charlotte Carlisle born 1805.
6. Elvira [or Elvina] Carlisle born 1807.
7. Clarissa Carlisle born 1810.
8. Fanny Carlisle born 1811.

Isaac Ashley Carlisle (my father) always said on the irish side his great,
great grandfather Carlisle was High Sheriff and a Tory in the Revolution. [I think this would refer to Ashley's great grandfather, Daniel Carlisle 1738-1794 who was a Constable and a Captain in the Revolution.]

Daniel Carlisle and Hannah Lewis Glover (his 2nd wife, sister of his first wife)
were married in 1852 and had 1 child, Arabelle born in 1857. Arabelle was mar-
ried to Walter Osborn and had Arabelle, Leah, Charlotte and Carlisle.
Daniel Carlisle with his first wife wife Louisa Lambert Glover ran an inn in New
York State. Before 1940 [sic] they moved to Edwardsburg, Mich. and ran a hotel
there and Mary and Ashley were born there. Then they moved to a farm at LaGrang
where Fannie was born. Later he with his 2nd wife moved to Buchanan on a farm
south of town where Arabelle was born in 1857. Then they moved to Buchanan on
2nd St. (now Dewey Ave.) where their house was burned with part of the town.
They then bot the Main St. house in 1863 where Daniel died in 1872. Hannah
died in 1906 at Arabelle's in Council Bluffs, Iowa and was brot to Buchanan
for burial in Oak Ridge Cemetery.
Lillie Dale Warren born 1866 died 1885 of Gallopping Consumption. She was rais-
ed but not adopted by Hannah and is buried on the family Carlisle lot in Oak
Ridge Cemetery.

Memorial Day Tradition

From a letter written by Tamerson Carlisle Binns. She was talking about my great-grandfather, Isaac Ashley Carlisle.

My father was a loyal American & I do not think he ever for one minute felt but what it was his duty to serve it. I remember he talked with scorn about the young men who did not want to serve & bot their way free by paying someone to serve in his place. It used to be a common thing in those days. He was proud of his service for his country and as long as he was able insisted on marching to the cemetery on Memorial day & carrying the flag. He carried flowers for the many soldiers graves not only to our big cemetery but to the many outlying, small cemeteries & he also took flags along for them. As he grew older he found it better to visit the outside graves the day before. We always met with the wives & others interested in preparing the boquets & making them enough to go for each grave. Later years they gave up decorating each grave except for a flag & father was the only one who knew where they all were so he did it & later years took a Legion Vet. around to show them how and where.

Elizabeth Warner Camfield, 22 Nov 1912

In her next letter Libbie says that photos from the "Golden Wedding" haven't been received yet but promises to pass one along when they come. She was sending along a picture of her son, Earl. I do not know if the picture below was the one sent but it was taken c. 1911 or 1912 and appears to have been taken by his father, Fred, at home.

Photo of R. Earl Camfield, 

scanned by Apple from the collection of W. D. Carlisle.

Also in the letter Libbie wrote:

Mamie has written to you since the operation so I need only to say he was still doing finely yesterday. The Dr. who performed the operation said that then yesterday, "it is perfect and when you say perfect it can't be beat." Doesn't it seem wonderful? how glad we'll all be for him to be able to talk as he should.

There was no letter from Mamie in the 1912 file so I'm glad that Libbie mentioned this. See Mary Frances Carlisle's letter of 26 Nov 1910 for the beginning of the story.

Public Service of Hannah L. Carlisle.
On the outbreak of the War of the Rebellion (Civil War) Daniel Carlisle was not
able to enter the military service of the coountry on account of disabliity
from poor health and old age. His wife Hannah L. Carlisle who was intensely
patriotic felt it her duty to take his place. Accordingly she volunteered as a
nurse and left her home Nov. 14, 1861 for St. Louis where she was assigned to
Post Hospital No. 1 at Columbus, Ky. Just before this she had charge of a Hos-
pital Boat for a few weeks and as the boat was leaky she worked in water to her
knees for 10 days or more. She remained at Post Hospital at Columbus until the
close of the War except for two months when she was stationed at the hospital
at Paducah, Ky. Her daughter Arabelle was with her at Columbus for about two
years and was in the hospital with her mother when the Confederates bombarded
the City, her mother having refused to leave the sick and wounded in her charge,
when advised to leave on account of the danger of capture by the Confederates.
After the close of the War Hannah entered the Freedman's Department of Superin-
tendents & Teachers & served in this capacity until July 3, 1886. As she re-
ceived a Nurse's pension in later years her recird of service can readily
be found in the Archives of the Pension Dept. at Wash. D.C.

The expression you made to ___ ___ you would take your ____ as to the future state has been in my mind very much and I have thought I would write you how I view the matter.

Hopeing that these lines may be taken in a friendly manner I subscribe myself as your well wisher and one who feels an interest in the welfare of all mankind

Yours respectfully

Marshall C Warner
