The forgotten brother John Carlyle

John Carlyle (1792-1872) was the son of James Carlyle (1758-1832), a descendant of John Carlyle (1687-1727). John Carlyle is half-brother to Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), well-known British historian and essayist. James settled in Ecclefechan, Scotland and married Janet Carlyle (1767-1792). His son, John, married Margaret Benn (1798-1867) in 1817 in Cumberland, England. They came to America in 1837 and eventually settled in Ontario. John and Margaret are buried in Brantford Township, Ontario. Descendants lived in Ontario, Washington, Oregon, and elsewhere.
