This is in reply to Nancy TOMLIN's (alys(a)jps.net) Sept. 10, 2004, posting to the
GARLOCK list titled "Emma Papworth Garlock."
The "Garlock genealogy by Myron Pomeroy Garlock, 1929" to which you refer is
probably "History of the Carlock Family," by Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK, 1929. I
have a copy of this book. It is primarily about the CARLOCK family, but does include some
information about the GARLOCK family and their earliest ancestors in America. The
CARLOCKs and GARLOCKs are different branches of the same family. Unfortunately, this book
is not indexed. See the following archived posting for information about viewing or
purchasing a copy of this hard-to-find book:

Some of the early information about the family, including sources, can be found in the
following report which appears on my homepage:
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/i/l/Susan-E-Tilleman/GENE18-...
The GARLOCK branch is descended from Johann Christian GERLACH/GARLOCK/CARLOCK (s/o Hans
GERLACH), b. July 04, 1669, Heidelberg, Germany; d. 1764, NY. I have not yet done a great
deal of research with regard to the GARLOCK branch.
According to pages 30 through 32 of the above-mentioned book, "The first shipment of
Palatines to America was in 1708 on the sailing ship 'Lyon.' There were fifty-two
who accompanied Lord Lovelace, Colonial Governor of New York. In the fall of 1709, three
thousand more Palatines were assembled by Rev. Kockerthal at St. Catherine's, London,
where they lived in a great tent camp under the supervision of the Board of Trade. Their
names, occupation and religion were carefully recorded. In this group were Conrad Gerlach
(Carlock), his wife, two sons and two daughters. (Later in New Jersey, we find three
sons: Peter, George and Nickolas). Johann Christian Gerlach (Garlock-Carlock) in some
manner reached America at about the same time. Tradition says that, being anxious to go
with this great shipment of exiles, he secreted himself in a hogshead aboard ship until
the ship made sea and that he came over with French Huguenots, landing at Ft. Lee, New
Jersey. Both Conrad and J!
ohann first settled at Livingston Manor on the Hudson in New York. We know that Conrad
Carlock was born in 1660 because he gave his age in 1709 as forty-nine years. The birth
year of Johann Christian Carlock (New York) was 1669 because in the records of St.
Catherines in 1709 he gave his age as forty years. Conrad finally drifted down the Hudson
to Fort Lee, now Bergen County, New Jersey, where he raised his family and Johann went to
the Schoharie-Mohawk Valley, New York, where he was the leader and one of twenty-seven
head men to get an Indian title to 12,700 acres of land known as the 'Stone
Arabia' patent. Johann also raised a family among them being Judge Elias Carlock and
Theobald (also known as Theodore) Carlock. While it is true that many of these Palatines
became dissatisfied with conditions in New York, it is known that Conrad after reaching
New Jersey resided there the remainder of his natural life. Many of the New York, New
Jersey and Ohio Carlocks are desc!
ended from Conrad Carlock.
Johann Christian Carlock (Garlock), the supposed brother of Conrad, never left the Mohawk
Valley. His son Theobald with others builded canoes and paddled their way down the
Susquehanna river into Pennsylvania and we find him finally in the Shenandoah Valley of
Virginia in 1737. Johann Christian Garlock is the progenitor of most of the Carlocks and
Garlocks of New York.
It is known from both history and tradition that because of the alleged ill treatment of
the Palatines in New York, word was sent back to England and Holland that New York had
treated them badly and for their relatives and friends not to come there but to seek
passage on ships bound for Philadelphia. It is thought that David Carlock (the progenitor
of the publisher's branch of the family), father of Hanchrist, Frederick, Catherine
(Whitman), Conrad of Virginia and Caroline (Starnes) took this advice and came in via
Philadelphia. The port records began in 1727 and he must have come in before this date as
no record has been found in searching diligently through thirty thousand names of
emigrants and hundreds of shipping records.
David Carlock, supposed brother of Johann Christian of New York and Conrad of New Jersey,
emigrated with others across southern Pennsylvania into western Virginia. How long he
remained in Pennsylvania is unknown but the writer believes between ten and twenty years.
German, French, Dutch and Swiss refugees took up lands in Pennsylvania and Virginia and
held back the redmen. The Governors of these states encouraged this to protect their
people to the east. After a time--because of their thrift--their neighbors became jealous
of them and made conditions so unpleasant for those who lived in Pennsylvania that they
decided to answer the appeal of the Governor of Virginia for settlers in the Shenandoah
Valley. It was the opportunity they had longed for and they took it. ...
The official records and history of the Virginia Carlocks show that Theobald Carlock, son
of the New York 'Johann Christian' had a son John, born in 1737 in the Shenandoah
Valley. In 1749 Theobald is found with his uncle David Carlock in Augusta County. From
the fact that nothing more is heard of him or his descendants, it is believed that either
they were killed by Indians or the name ran out. David Carlock of Augusta County,
Virginia, is the progenitor of practically all Carlocks in America, Canada and Mexico with
the exception of those in New Jersey, New York, Indiana and a few in Ohio."
Most of the information contained in the genealogy section of the book "History of
the Carlock Family," found on pages 418 through 631, is included in the
above-mentioned report which appears on my homepage. So far I have only entered a small
portion of the information found in the remainder of the book into my database.
Additional information about the GARLOCK (and alternative spellings) family can be found
on the following pages, as well as possibly others: 50 - 53, 61, 62, 70, 77, 78, 215,
216, and 222 - 226.

Subject: Emma Papworth Garlock
This is in response to a query which I accidentally deleted.
I looked for Emma P in Heritage Quest and didn't find her.
However, in PERSI I found "Garlock Genealogy 1672+ Ger., US, MI". Copes
are available for a charge from the Allen Co (IN) Public Library
Foundation. Their copy request form can be prnted at
http://www.acpl.lib.in.us/database/graphics/order_form.html
Also found in HQ books, a Garlock genealogy by Myron Pomeroy Garlock, 1929.
If you (or anyone) would like more info on these, please let me know.
Also, everyone might check to see if their local library has Heritage
Quest online. I only found out by accident that our local libray has it
and it's a great source. Has census, books, and PERSI.
