Do you have any other information for George Peter GARLOCK and Peiter
GARLOCK, such as dates, places, names of spouses, etc., which might help me
identify them? I am not finding them in my database.
Coenraad "Conrad" GERLACH/GERLAG/CARLOCK (1660 - ca. 1712) settled in
Hackensack, New Jersey. Conrad is believed to have been one of three
brothers to immigrate to America. The brothers were born in the German
Palatinate and spent many years in Holland before their brief stay in
England.
The two immigrants believed to have been Conrad's brothers were Johan
Christian GERLACH/GARLOCK/CARLOCK (1669 - 1764) and David GERLACH/CARLOCK
(1674 - 1763.) Johan Christian settled in the Schoharie and Mohawk Vallies
of New York. David settled in Augusta County, Virginia, after spending
many years in Pennsylvania.
According to pages 30 - 31 of the book "History of the Carlock Family and
Adventures of Pioneer Americans," by Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK, 1929:
"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 Johann first settled at
Livingston Manor on the Hudson in New Y!
ork. 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 descended 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 [sic] 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."
Page 32: "In 1749 Theobald is found with his uncle David Carlock in
Augusta County [Virginia]."
