George Washington Carlisle was the first born of Abraham Carlisle and Maria Jane White in LaClaire, Scott Co., IA. He married Margaret Jane Pedon 02 December 1875 in Iowa. They had eight children: Roxanna Jane, Alexander, Arminda "Blanche", William Wallace, Forrest Ellinger, Aurilla Pearl, Norman Wilber, and Loren Edward.
In about 2003, I learned in a conversation with a Carlisle descendant, that Richard, (George's brother) who moved to the Texas Valley in 1911 had a farm near a smaller plot that "belonged to a 'red headed' Carlisle brother". This was thought to be George but no proof. It seems that the land was deeded to Richard when the owner decided to pull up stakes. It's been stated by family members that "George was the adventous one" which is why it is thought that it was he who bought the land near his younger brother Richard near Premont, TX in the early 1900's. Speculation for sure. Unfortunately, we have only B&W photos, so the "red headed one" is impossible to identify.
