This is in reply to two requests I have received today for information about ordering a
copy of the recently-published book titled "The Heritage of Old Mecklenburg County,
North Carolina, 1763 - 2003." See my Mar. 1, 2006, posting to the CARLOCK list,
listed below, titled "CARLOCK Family of Mecklenburg Co., NC," which includes
ordering information. I do not know if copies are still available for sale.
In addition to the correction to that original posting, also listed below, I have also
posted the following comments to the material found in the above-mentioned book.
Additional postings may follow as I continue sorting through the information contained in
the book.

So far I have found one typographical error in my postings to the CARLOCK,
CARELOCK, and CEARLOCK lists yesterday. I'll let the lists know if I find
more. I'm still sifting through the information.
Item #2 should read "280 CHARLES JEFFERSON BLACK AND ANNIE ELIZABETH BLACK,"
not "280 CHARLES FREDERICK ..."

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

(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:

families. Children of Squire and Hannah are: ... viii. Hannah, 1814-1906. She died in
Pittsburg, Camp Co., Tx.; married Thomas Carlock."

Hambey Run of Rocky River, where Jacob Deem now lives, adjoining Charles Barnhart and
Frederick Cerlock."
