Poll #1 Answer: How Many Children Did Mose Carline and Elizabeth Boyce Have?

Mose Carline and Elizabeth Boyce had 10 children. They were: Alice, Elvin, George, Eunice, Elizabeth, William, Alberta, Annie, Iona and Ivory. Ivory is the only one still living and at 93 is still going strong.

You guys did good with the poll but next time I'd like to see a lot more votes. There is nothing wrong with guessing. No one knows who cast what vote - not even me.

Why do I see Carline spelled with an "e" on the end sometimes and other times without?

I don’t know about the Carlin/Carline names but from doing genealogy research I’ve found that many times the person taking the information was from another country such as a Spanish soldier so they didn’t all ways understand the name or when recording the name they changed it to the Spanish equivalent. Many times the person applying for marriage licenses, births, deaths, etc. couldn’t read and write so didn’t realize that the name was spelled differently. Another theory might be that the person wanted to hide from their family.

Does anyone have a different idea? Please let us know what you think.

Thanks for your comment.

This information is very important so I decided to post it here also.

Our grandparents had 11 children.Two died when they were young,and nine grew up and had families of their own. Alberta or Elberta was 9 years when she died. She was hooked or gored in the stomach by a cow. bur, in Bayou Chene. They had a son named Mose, he was 12 years old when he died with meningitis. I had known about him for a long time. When visiting Uncle Binky, I asked him about Mose. He is the one who gave me the cause of death and age of death. Bur.in Bayou Chene.
