Hi List!
I'm new. Can anyone help me identify the parents of the
following CARLOCK siblings:
Roxy Carlock
Sarah "Sallie" Carlock
William Carlock
These siblings are mentioned in an 1868 letter written
by my Gr Gr Grandfather. This letter is available
online if you should care to take a peak at:

I believe that I have identified one of the Carlocks
mentioned in the letter, Sarah "Sallie" Carlock.
Sarah "Sallie" P. Carlock married William C. Potter on
21 Feb 1877 in Tate County MS.
Sarah Carlock is found on the 1880 Census for Coldwater,
Tate Co MS, in the household of her husband, W. C.
Potter, listed as being age 21 (b 1859) in AL. Also
living in the house is Sarah's brother, William CARLOCK,
age 16 (b 1864) in AL. Based on the birth date/places
for these two siblings, I am assuming that their parents
should be found in 1860 somewhere in AL, and that some
of the family (perhaps not the ENTIRE family) migrated
from AL to De Soto, MS (at least Roxy and Sarah "Sallie"
were living there in 1868).
If anyone out there researching Carlocks has run across
CARLOCKS in AL in 1860 or in MS in 1868, could you
please contact me?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Kathy L. Rhodes
Gr Gr Grandaughter of Michael W. Shanahan
Gr Gr Grandniece of Sarah "Sallie" P. Carlock
& William C. Potter
P.S. Would also like to hear from any Carlock
researchers whose ancestors were from KY or NJ because
the recipient of the 1868 letter was Margaret "Maggie"
Anne Shanahan. "Maggie" was a friend of Roxy Carlock
and they corresponded with one another. Maggie was in
KY in 1868, but she lived most of her life in the Hudson
Co NJ area and I'm wondering if perhaps Maggie met the
CARLOCK family in either KY or NJ prior to their
migration south to AL and MS.
