Message Board Post:
Who was the James CARELOCK after whom Susan CARELOCK COMPTON (b. ca. 1802, IL) named her
eldest son James Carelock COMPTON? Could James CARELOCK have been the name of Susan's
father? I have not yet found any other records of members of the CARLOCK/CARELOCK family
being in Illinois as early as 1802. I also have not yet identified anyone named James
CARELOCK after whom Susan could have named her son.
It seems very likely that Susan could have been a great-granddaughter of Frederick
CARLOCK/CARELOCK (1720 - 1792) of Mecklenburg Co., NC. Does anyone have any information
that could help me fill in Susan's ancestry?
Susan CARELOCK m. Edward L. COMPTON, 21 May 1820, Jefferson Co., IL. I have no record of
any other members of the CARLOCK/CARELOCK family being in Jefferson Co., IL, until David
CARLOCK/KEARLOCK/CURLOCK (s/o Jacob CARLOCK/CARELOCK, George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, David
CARLOCK, Frederick (possibly Cornelius) CARLOCK/CARELOCK, David GERLACH/CARLOCK, Hans
GERLACH) had a child born there in 1854. David's CARLOCK/CEARLOCK family had migrated
to the nearby Fayette Co., IL, area by the early 1830s.
Susan had a child born in Morgan Co., IL, in 1825, after which at some point the family
migrated to Texas, where both Susan and her husband died.
