Carlin |
| The Carlin surname is Irish: it's an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó Cairealláin, an Ulster family name, meaning descendant of Caireallán, a diminutive of the personal name Caireall.
The surname was first found in county Limerick, where they had held a family seat from ancient times. Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants in the United States were: Daniel Carlin who settled in Philadelphia Pa. in 1828; followed by Frederick in 1830; John in 1834; Henry in 1849; Alice, Bridget, Ellen, Honor, John, and Mary Carlin, all settled in New York State between 1845 and 1847.
The Carlin Coat of Arms is a proud one, displaying many symbols to display the accomplishments of this ancient line. It features a blue shield, with a red and silver stripe running through the center, a right hand coming out of a crescent, between a horse and a lion, and below, a salmon and a cross between three lizards and an oak tree.
The Family Motto is "Felis demulcta mitis," which translates to "A stroked cat is gentle."

JOHN BERNARD CARLIN, SR., called "Jack" by friends and family, was born on December 08, 1902, in Fairbury, Illinois (There is no recorded record of his birth made at the time. It was not until 1940 when John and his father filed the birth information with Livingston County, Illinois, and his father, Bernard, verified the birth information and signed he was present for the birth in Fairbury, Illinois on December 8, 1902).
John lived on a farm in Fairbury until the family moved to Lowell, Indiana, which he later described as a small town near the Crown Point Jail from which John Dillinger escaped. John would later love to tell his children about his childhood on the farm, describing farm implements and raising different crops. He told them many times the corn had to be "knee high" by July 4 for it to be a good crop. His sister, Ann, said John attended the local catholic school and then went for a year to Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, taking pre-college courses. John always thought of himself as a Notre Dame man, and enjoyed telling his kids that he was taught Chemistry there by Knute Rockne. (Rockne did teach Chemistry at Notre Dame starting in 1914 so this is entirely possible.) He then went to St. Joseph's College in Rensselaer, Indiana, which was close to Lowell, and graduated in 1919.
John then moved from Lowell to Detroit, Michigan, along with his father, brothers (Walter & Ed), as well as his sisters (Ann & Catherine), to obtain jobs with the auto companies. "Jack" also graduated from the University of Detroit College of Commerce & Finance in 1937, and was very proud of the fact he attended college at night while working during the day.He was a Fellow of St Joseph College. (His son, John, would later graduate from college at "St. Jo.")
John was working as an usher one day at St. Cecilia Church in Detroit when he met pretty MARJORIE
ANNE BRUNNER (born on November 7, 1916, in Wheeling, West Virginia). John was 14 years older than Marjorie, and didn't think she would go out with him if she knew his real age, so he told her he was younger than he really was. It workedand they married on June 26, 1937, in Detroit, Michigan at St. Cecilia, where Marge attended school (as would three of their children). Marge's sister, Helen, and John's brother, Ed Carlin, were the Maid of Honor and Best Man. Since John had to work the following Monday, they did not have a honeymoonbut did stay at the Dearborn Inn for the weekend.
Marjorie and John had four children:
