John built the New Hope Presbyterian Church in Webster County, Mississippi in 1848. It had a second floor which was used for Masonic Lodge no. 242 meeting, of which John was a member.

By V Orene Carlisle Fennell∼John M. Carlisle enlisted in the 43rd Mississippi Regiment, Co. B, as a substitute for A. H. Kidd. John was 52 years old at the time. He enrolled at Saltillo, MS on Aug 19, 1862, and went home without being discharged during the retreat from Abbeville, MS during early December of 1862. It is unknown as to why but family tradition relates he died in 1872 from his war wounds. If this is the case he probably did not desert but was older, wounded and hospitalized. The fact that his son William lost both arms in the war and was disabled may have been a factor as well. Whatever the case his records reflect absence without leave. He received 300 dollars to go in KIdd's place.
He was a Mason, Member of Lodge # 224. He also built the New Hope Presbyterian Church around 1848, located on the Walthall-West point Rd. in Webster Co. MS.
John was apprenticed to one Burgess Burkett in 1826, Giles County, TN. This Burgess Burkett was from Halifax County, NC. Burkett was a carriage maker by trade, and John Carlisle was a mechanic or Master builder (Carpenter).
