Jean I looked around this afternoon and noticed that another researcher has Caroline listed as a daughter of James and Jane ENDSLEY. So I decided to do some more research. (I wrote them and will let you know if they have any proof for us). Then I looked up some ENDSLEYs on census. Look what I found. 1900 Sharp County Arkansas census Richwood Twp page 91 19 19 Wiles William L. head w m Nov 1859 41 m-16 Ark Tenn Tenn farmer 0 - yes yes yes O F F 18 ---- Malisie C. wife w f Feb 1867 33 m-16 6 6 Ark Tenn Tenn yes yes yes ---- James H. son w m April 1886 14 s Ark Ark Ark - 5 yes yes yes ---- Gracy E. daughter w f Fuly 1888 11 s Ark Ark Ark - 5 yes yes yes ---- Pheby D. daughter w f Aug 1890 9 s Ark Ark Ark - 5 ---- Leany E. daughter w f March 1893 7 s Ark Ark Ark - 5 ---- Walter A. son w m Dec 1895 4 s Ark Ark Ark ---- Lewis E. daughter w f May 1898 2 s Ark Ark Ark Howard Charley boarder w m April 1878 22 s Tenn GA Tenn boarder yes yes yes William says here that he has been married to Malisie (Malissa) for 16 years which would coincide with the November 1883 marriage of William to M. Caroline. I also found the Alexander Endsley family in Blount County Tennessee on the 1850 census. I believe he is James Haskell Endsley's father. 1850 Blount Co TN 3d Civil District p 13 177 177 Alex Endsly 40 m farmer No Car Mary Endsly 32 f Tenn John Endsly 20 m Tenn Patsy Endsly 17 f Tenn Betsy Endsly 14 f Tenn Sarah Endsly 12 f Tenn Wm Endsly 10 m Tenn Jas Endsly 7 m Tenn Leonard Endsly 5 f Tenn Rachel Endsly 3 f Tenn Alex Endsly 6/12 m Tenn 1870 Sharp County Arkansas census Richwoods Twp p354 22 22 Endsley J.
