Among the emigrants who came to this country early in the present century intending to make his home in New Brunswick was a young man named James CARLAN, the son of a land steward in Kelley Alley, County Kerry, Ireland. Mr. Carlan, while much pleased with the country, found that the climate was not beneficial to his health, so he returned to Ireland and gave much glowing accounts of the place to his sister, Cherry MOORE who had lately been married to a man by the name of Edward MOORE and they decided to come to New Brunswick and earn their bread. Mr. and Mrs. Moore arrived in Saint John in 1835 and went direct to Burton (Sunbury Co.) where for 14 years they lived and then moved to a place in the same county, Three Tree Creek and spent five years there, going next to Shaw Creek, also in Sunbury. At the latter place they spent 24 years and at the end of that time moved to Fredericton Junction and took up their abode in a pleasant little house on the line of the N.B. Railway, about a half mile below the railway station. Since the removal to the Junction, the only thing which happened to cloud Mrs. Moore's life was the death of her husband which occurred on the first of July last. After returning to Ireland, James CARLAN went to the city of Belfast and being a Methodist and thinking the name Carlan too much like a Catholic name he changed it to CARLISLE. While in Belfast he worked at his trade as master builder and when the American war broke out and prices went up, James, who had purchased with his earnings a couple of flax mills, was enabled to sell his goods at great profit and soon found himself a rich man. Previous to this time he had married and had two children, a boy and a girl. The boy was a very dissipated character and his revels brought him to an early death. The girl married a man named Johnston and had by him two children, both girls. James CARLISLE, the grandfather of these children, died on the 25th November 1882 and after some charitable bequests to the amount of 26,000 pounds and legacies from 40 to 500 pounds had been paid to all the men in his employ, the estate valued at 150,000 pounds was willed to these two children, but they did not live long to enjoy it, for one of them, Mary Caroline JOHNSTON died 16th May 1883 and the other, Edith Carlisle JOHNSTON died 24th May 1884. The executors of the estate, Alexander Johns and William Ewart, then began to make enquiries for the heirs-at-law of the property. They discovered that James Carlisle had a brother John CARLAN and a sister Cherry, and that 40 years ago, when about 30 years of age, John went to Australia and had never been heard from. Repeated enquiry by the executors failed to discover any trace of him and he has now been given up as lost. But they did find that Cherry came to this country as the wife of Edward Moore. ... Mrs Moore, age 76, is the mother of nine children, five boys and four girls. Three of the boys are in Boston, one at Fredericton and one is at home with his mother. She has also 40 grandchildren.
