I believe that I have finally found the connection between Myers Bright CARELOCK (1873 -
1938) of Union Co., AR, and the rest of the CARLOCK/CARELOCK family. Our subscriber Jean
CARELOCK was kind enough to answer my Dec. 10, 2001, query and send me two sets of printed
information about the CARELOCK family. The second set was information sent to her by
Orland CARELOCK of Texas. Mr. CARELOCK lists Myers Bright CARELOCK as s/o William A.,
William A., Sam. Among his sources listed are the following:
1. "'Carelock Family History', Information re the family of William A.
Carelock is taken from the book by Mary Lou Medlin (Mrs. Smith Medlin, Marshville, NC,
July 1972)".
2. "Marriage License/Certificate of William A. Carelock, Jr. & Josephine Medlin,
Book 1, page 196, True copy of the records of the Register of Deeds for Union Co., Monroe,
NC as shown in Book 1 of marriages, page 196, Union County, NC".
3. "Family Bible of Myers Bright Carelock".
4. "Marriage License/Certificate of M. B. Carelock and Delona Hicks ..., both of
Tubal, Union County, AR ..."
In combining this information with information from my CARLOCK/CARELOCK database, I show
the following lineage for Myers Bright CARELOCK:
Hans GERLACH
David GERLACH/CARLOCK
Frederick Cornelius CARLOCK
George CARLOCK
Samuel A. CARLOCK/CARELOCK
Samuel A. CARELOCK
William A. CARELOCK
William A. CARELOCK
Myers Bright CARELOCK
As soon as I get a chance I will be inputting this new information into my database and
updating the report titled "Descendants of Hans GERLACH" which appears on my
home page.

Seeking information about ancestry of Myers Bright CARELOCK, b. Nov. 3, 1873; m. Delona
HICKS; issued patent for land in Union Co., AR, 1904, d. May 16, 1938.
Since most CARLOCKs, and all known CARELOCKs and CEARLOCKs (pronounced like CARELOCK), are
believed to be descended from David GERLACH/CARLOCK (1674 - 1763), s/o Hans GERLACH, I
have included Myers Bright CARELOCK and his descendants in my report titled
"Descendants of Hans GERLACH" by placing six generations of "Unknown
CARLOCKs" between David and Myers. The URL for this report is:

This is in reply to the following reply which I received today from Jcaf14(a)aol.com. I am
compiling a database of information about this branch of the family and would very much
like to include any information that you would like to contribute. I have come across
information about Myers Bright CARELOCK and some of his descendants in the past, but have
not yet been able to connect him to the rest of the CARLOCK/CARELOCK family.
I am actually a CEARLOCK, descended from another branch of this family, also from North
Carolia, by way of Warren Co., KY, and Fayette Co., IL. My maiden name of CEARLOCK is
pronounced like "CARELOCK" and is spelled as such in some documents.
Also following are copies of some related postings which relate to this same branch of the
family.

Hi. I am the great grand-daughter of Myers Bright. Saw you inquiry in
Rootsweb. Don't know much about family history, but do know we are related
to a bunch of Carelocks in North Carolina - one named Ernest Carelock. Most
of my family is in El Dorado, Arkansas.

I'm very glad you have started this mail list, since all I know is the
CARELOCK name. I have been unable to trace back to a name other than
CARELOCK. Here's hoping!!!
My CARELOCK line is Myers (Miers) Bright CARELOCK, born November 3, 1873, d
May 16, 1938. He married Delona Hicks. Some of the his children lived in
Arkansas.
Any help anyone is able to provide, would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Retreva

A search for the surname CARELOCK at the following site brings up 26
listings: <A

's WorldConnect Project: Global Search</A>. Furthermore, a search for the
surname CARELOCK at the following site brings up 20 current listings for
CARELOCKs living in the United States: <A

13 are in El Dorado, 2 are in Little Rock, and 2 are in Bella Vista. I am
exploring the possibility that these CARELOCKs may be another branch of our
family. Can anyone tie the following individual into our family? Myers
