The long-awaited "The Heritage of Old Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, 1763 -
2003" book has finally been published. I just received my copy in the mail
yesterday.
A very limited number of copies of this book are still available for sale. I am told the
cost is now $72, which includes shipping. Contact Sheila Weaver at the following e-mail
address ASAP is you are interested in purchasing a copy, as the remaining copies are
expected to be sold within just a few days:
sheilaw(a)webkorner.com
The book is 475 pages long, with large pages and small print.
I have only skimmed the book so far. It does include the following references to the
CARLOCK and CARELOCK families:
1. Pg. 68: Article titled "189 CONCORD: THE BEGINNING," which includes the
following: "The small 26-acre parcel of land on which Concord was built has grown to
over 50,000 square miles and the original 37 landowners have grown to an increased
population corresponding to this land annexation. The original land owners were: ...
David Carlock/Carelock ..."
2. Pgs. 113 - 114, "Article, including photographs, submitted by Martha B. RUDISILL
of Hendersonville, NC, titled "280 CHARLES FREDERICK BLACK AND ANNIE ELIZABETH
BLACK," which includes the following: "My grandparents, Charles Jefferson Black
and Annie Elizabeth Black, were both born in Mecklenburg Co., N.C., and their families
have lived there for many generations. ... Annie was born on Aug. 13, 1873, in Mint
Hill. She was the daughter of Hampton Wade Black (1808-1887) and Margaret Eleanor
Morrison (1832-1899). ... Margaret Eleanor was the daughter of William Stanhope Morrison
(1810-1860) and Helena Thelma Karr (1811-1894). ... Helena Karr was the daughter of
David Karr (1776-1848) and Eleanor Cerlock (1785-1860)."
3. Pgs. 127 - 128: Article titled "317 WILLIAM BROOKS II AND MARY BURLESON,"
which includes the following: "William Brooks II and Mary Burleson's children
were born in the part of Anson County that later became Union County. Their children
were: ... (3) Jane Brooks, born Nov. 26, 1807, died in 1849, married Samuel Carelock,
the son of George Carelock and grandson of Frederick Carelock, Sr."
4. Pg. 143: Article submitted by me titled "351 FAMILY OF FREDERICK CARLOCK, SR.
(1720 - ?)."
5. Pgs. 143 - 144: Article submitted by me titled "352 FAMILY OF GEORGE CARLOCK
(1740 - 1815)." Note that I believe I do have a correction to make to this material
as it was submitted several years ago. I will write more on this in a separate posting
after I have had a chance to go over the material.
6. Pg. 220: Article titled "510 CHRISTOPHER ANDREAS GUTHMANN/GOODMAN," which
includes the following: "In July 1774 Christopher Guthmann purchased 100 acres of
Dutch Buffalo Creek and Rocky River from Mary and Conrad Carlock ..."
7. Pgs. 272 - 273: Article submitted by me titled "CHRISTOPHER LANDIS (CA. 1710 -
BY 1771)," which also includes information about his son-in-law Hans Michael
"Michael" GUTKNECHT/GOODNIGHT and Michael's brothers George
"Gerick" GUTKNECHT/GOODNIGHT and Christian GUTKNECHT, as well as how President
Harry S. TRUMAN is descended from both Christopher LANDIS and Hans Michael GOODNIGHT.
Although the CARLOCK family is not mentioned in this article, these individuals are
ancestors of Rachel LANDERS, wife of George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, who is mentioned in the
article on page 143 titled "351 FAMILY OF FREDERICK CARLOCK, SR. (1720 - ?)."
8. Pg. 380: Article titled "845 SQUIRE STEVENS," which includes the following:
"Squire Stevens was the eldest son of Emanuel and Sarah Abbott Stevens. ... He
married Hannah, the daughter of William and Margaret Houston in 1797. ... All of his
children were born in Mecklenburg County, but several began moving west with their
families. Children of Squire and Hannah are: ... viii. Hannah, 1814-1906. She died in
Pittsburg, Camp Co., Tx.; married Thomas Carlock."
9. "Pgs. 385 - 386: Article titled "856 JACOB TEEM AND SUSANNA ROSE
BEAVER," which includes the following: "On January 16, 1788 Jacob and Susanna
sold Adam Teem, for 200 pounds, 300 acres on both sides of Hamby Run adjoining Shaffner,
John Cagle, Frederick Kerlough, Peter Rape, and Charles Barnhart. On January 26, 1789

Voli, George Carlock, Jacob Shafner, James Cortis, Phillip Wiser, and Jno. Baddle. In
1789 Jacob Deem sold to his son Peter Deem, for one silver dollar, 125 acres on both sides
of Hambey Run of Rocky River, where Jacob Deem now lives, adjoining Charles Barnhart and
Frederick Cerlock."

Subject: Mecklenburg County, NC, CARELOCK photographs and/or articles still needed
The Original Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, Heritage Book Project has extended their
deadline for submitting articles to January 15, 2003. I did meet the original deadline and
submit two articles on the very early CARLOCK family of Mecklenburg Co., including some
information on the early CARELOCK family. I would urge anyone with information or
photographs of the more recent CARELOCK family in Mecklenburg County to submit either
photographs or an article to the project organizers. If you live in the area, you might
even want to attend one of the family history writing workshops, such as the one mentioned
below, sponsored by the project organizers. This is a wonderful opportunity to preserve
information about the CARELOCK family living in Mecklenburg County for future generations.
You do not necessarily need to be able to connect your Mecklenburg County CARELOCK family
to the early CARELOCK family in order to submit photographs and articles.
