This is Jonnie Holland, great-granddaughter of Adarna Mariah Carlock who married Thomas
Benton Wasson. Helen Wasson married my mother's brother, Paul Wasson who is now
deceased. My mother, Lera Audice Wasson Hart Robinson, always had a family story that
said that by the time Adarna was about two years old, her mother had remarried. No one
knew whether she was widowed or divorced.
There is a James Madison Carlock who died in 1849, close to the time of Adarna's birth
and he had been living in Adarna's birthplace of Fulton, Fulton County, Illinois.
Since no one else by the name of Carlock had died in that time frame of the right age to
be her father, I had concluded that he could very possibly be Adarna's father. There
is an older Mrs. Adorney Carlock who married a James Hunter on 18 Sep 1851 in Fulton,
Fulton County, Illinois (matches the about two years old mom remarried story mentioned
above). On my great-grandmother's funeral record from a funeral home in Las Cruces,
New Mexico, my great-grandmother's last name was listed as "Hunt."
I also found some Carlocks living with James Hunter and an Adarna on a Census - 1860
Waverly Township, Lincoln County, Missouri page 225; and on 1870 Waverly Township, Lincoln
County, Missouri Ed 196 page 9; and Thomas and Adarna are listed as living with son Frank
in 1920 Sandoval County, New Mexico Census.
Does anyone have anything more definitive as to identifying Adarna Mariah Carlock
Wasson's parents and/or siblings?
