Life

Mary Josephine Carlisle, called Mollie, was born on 3 August 1838 in Chambers County, Alabama, a daughter of Robert Whatley Carlisle and Clarissa Ann Mitchell Owens, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date.1 The tree gives her brother Robert M. Carlisle a birth date of 20 August 1838, so at least one of the two dates is wrong.2 The federal censuses of 1850, 1860 and 1870 list her in her father's household, in Tallapoosa County and then in Coosa County.3 George E. Brewer's history of Coosa County, published in 1942, remembers her father as "Rev. Robert Carlisle, long a leading Primitive Baptist preacher," living with his sons in the country around Mount Olive.4

On 21 September 1875 Mary J. Carlisle married John A. Suttle, a widower, in Coosa County.5 Brewer's sketch of John A. Suttle says that his "second wife was a daughter of Rev. Robert Carlisle, a prominent Primitive Baptist preacher," and that she "was a good wife, looking well to his comfort in his feebleness"; it adds that "several useful sons and daughters were born to them."6 Inference The sketch does not name her, but she is the daughter of Robert Carlisle whom the marriage record shows marrying John A. Suttle, and no other is known.6 Brewer also says that her husband, after many years as a Missionary Baptist, "changed to the Primitives and became a preacher."7 The tree names four children, born between 1876 and 1882: Robert Allen, William M., Anna B. and Clara Suttle.8 The census of 1880 lists Mary J. Suttle in her husband's household at Rockford, Coosa County.9 He died at Rockford in October 1891.10

The census of 1900 lists Mary J. "Suttles" as the head of her own household at Rockford, and the census of 1910 lists her in the household of her son Robert A. Suttle there.11 In August 1912 "Mrs. Mary Suttle, Rockford, Ala., sister of Mrs. C. D. Webb," attended the Webb family reunion near Kellyton.12 She died in Coosa County on 18 July 1916 and was buried in the Rockford Cemetery, according to the tree and the Find a Grave index, which enters her as Mary Josephine Carlisle Suttle.13 The death record of her son Robert Allen Suttle, in 1945, names his mother as Mollie Suttle.14
