From another researcher:
- Lisle Compton Craswell daughter of Sarah Davis Tanton Compton Craswell was the Lisle
that died in Kansas in 1880 of consumption.
RESEARCH NOTES:
Confusion and mixups over the many Lisle Comptons over several generations:
- Corrections from another researcher: “Janet 'Lisle' Compton birth, place and parentage ok, don't know about her
marriage. The Notes for her isn't correct. Lisle Compton who died 3 May 1880 in Atchinson, Kansas of consumption was in fact Lisle Compton CRASWELL. Living there with her fathers sister and family, the Schurmans. Have copies of the baptismals of the Craswell children. There were 4, Sarah died after the birth of twin daughters - Lisle Compton and Catherine Sarah, baptised Dec 21, 1864”
