I think that I may have sent this previously, but found it sitting in my
draft box, so I am not sure.
I reviewed info concerning Joseph Carlock and his siblings and I wondered
if you might have any more information on William his brother. John Henry
Norris who married Dicey Elizabeth Carlock is
the son of William Norris and Mary Cobb. Also William Norris is the son of
Martha Norris, listed in the 1850, 1860, 1870 census. In each of these
census there is a Zachariah Carlock living in the house
with Martha Norris and her son William Norris. In the 1850 census when you
look at it you would think that Zachariah is a Norris as with the other
children that are listed.
1850 Census Beat No 5 Leake Cnty MS
Martha Norris 40 f NC
Zachariah 28 m MS
Daniel 21 m MS

Sarah 16 f MS

William N 12 m MS
I am proposing that Martha Norris is Martha Williams who married William
Carlock, brother to Joseph S Carlock. I propose that Zachariah, Daniel and
Thomas are the children from this marriage and
William has either died or abandoned them. In some census Martha is listed
as being born abt 1805 and others 1815 Also some census says that she was
born in MS and others say NC. I really do
not understand why the household is listed as it is, all the census that I
have reviewed has them listed immediate family in birth order then other
relatives or borders. The 1850 census has them all
over the place.
The 1860 census has Joseph Carlock and Martha Norris living almost next door
to each other and Zachariah is listed as a Carlock. Now Martha is listed as
from MS and born abt 1815. William is still
living at home and he is listed under his mother, then Zachariah. There is a
James Carlock living next door to Martha Norris and I do not know he is.
The 1870 census Martha is living only with Zachariah, his wife Betsy and
their son William. Next door is William Norris and his wife Marry, Prissy,
John Henry and Elizabeth. They are listed on page
139 of the census for Franklin and Joseph Carlock is on page 143.
By the 1880 census Joseph Carlock has moved to Tensas Louisiana and two of
their son’s Henry and Robert are living with them. Martha Norris is now
living with her daughter Mary and her husband,
Israel Gates. Also living there is Sarah Davis and her age is the same as
the Sarah listed in the 1850 census.
