Biography

Eliza Jane Tyrone was born on February 8, 1827 in Lawrence County, Mississippi. She married Matthew Houston Carlisle on October 8, 1850 in Lawrence County, Mississippi. Due in part to the times and accent of the local people, her name was pronounced "Elizar". (Older people of the south are notorious for adding the sound of "r" at the end of words ending in the vowel "a").

Eliza was the daughter of John Tyrone (1794-1867) and Mary Maranda Parkman (1797-1871). Her siblings included (may not be a complete list): Amanda Carolina Tyrone Cannon (1831-1851), Elizabeth Tyrone Walker (1835-1909), Parkman Tyrone (1842-1924), E. P. Tyrone (abt. 1818-?), Jerome C. Tyrone (abt. 1818-?), Henderson Griffin Tyrone (abt. 1822-?), and Margaret Tyrone.

In August of 1880 she lived in District 1, Carley's, Marion County, Mississippi, in enumeration district 131. On line 12, family number 3, in Beat I (Carley's), she is listed in the census as Elizar Carlisle. She was described as a white female, age 53, a house keeper, single, and widowed.
