Son of John Boyd Carlisle & Elizabeth Saunders Carlisle of Lawrence County MS.

Marriage record between Mary Ann Neice and Ishom Carlisle in Lawrence County Mississippi on 24 Oct 1850.

Died at Camp Winder Hospital, Richmond Virginia. Enlisted in Brook Haven MS in May 1861, age 35. Some documents list date of death as 07 April 1863.

Rumors of the mistreatment of patients began circulating, leading to a back-and-forth debate on the editorial pages of the city's newspapers...." https://rvanews.com/features/civil-war-camp-winder/95916
