I have seen many reports that Charles and Sarah Whitman's daughter Sarah Whitman
Carlock was born about 1730 in Augusta VA. Augusta VA did not exist at that time, so can
anyone tell me what that area was called, other than Orange County? Also, based on the
the stories ofr Sarah Whitman Carlock that she "descended from German royalty,"
I set off to try to figure that one out. I can find nothing on the Whitman line, but
there were several Mattheus/Matthias/Mattice folks who came over from Germany via England
or Rotterdam with the Gerlach/Carlock Clan. Although, tracking each family down, I have
not found a Sarah born around 1704ish that would fit into any of those families. One
Matthias family in that Carlock neck of the woods in Augusta "Johann/John
Matthias" appears to be a generation after our Sarah Whitman Carlock. If anyone has
researched this Mattheus/Mathias/Mattice line, I would appreciate some direction on
resources. Thanks. LM
