Catherine "Kitty" P. Fidella Teagle Carlisle
August 26, 1811 - Sept. 27, 1880
On January 10, 1830, Thomas Carlisle married Kitty Teagle, daughter of Richard and Kitty Peacock Teagle. Kitty and Thomas built a very large and beautiful house in the Goshen Hill section. In this section lived many distinguished families. Thomas owned lands, slaves, cattle and raised cotton. They educated their children.
During the Civil War, five of their sons went to war. Each morning, just after breakfast, Kitty went into the bedroom and instructed the servants not to disturb her while she prayed for an hour or more for her sons' safety.
From her obituary : .....Her mind was clear and discriminating, her disposition mild and loving, her affections full to overflowing, and her religious experience clear and ripe. Long and severe was the affliction of her last days. For nearly eight years was she utterly helpless from paralysis.
