Carlisle, Wren and Williams, Ruby V. Family Loudoun Co, VA and WDC
Wren and Ruby V. Williams Carlisle were my aunt and uncle.I have gathered quite a bit of information about these families that I am very happy to share.The following newspaper article may be of interest.I would particularly like to know what happened to Wren's sons, Lawrence and William.
The Washington Post Newspaper, January 19, 1942:
