The Rutherford County, NC, Land Grants list, by W. D. FLOYD, located at the following
site, shows the following listings for Henry and Joseph CARELOCK:
http://ns1.rfci.net/wdfloyd/grants.html
Carelock, Henry 4-6 50 1797
Carelock, Joseph 4-6 51 1797
Furthermore, the Rutherford County, NC, Deed Index, Grantor-Grantee, 1779-1917, by W. D.
FLOYD, located at the following site, shows the following listings for Henry and Joseph
CARLOCK:
http://ns1.rfci.net/wdfloyd/DeedDex.html
Carlock, Henry & Joseph / Wear, Robert / Deed/12-14/245/1800
Carlock, Henry / McEntire, Alexander / Deed/20-21/98/1803
Carlock, Henry / Porter, David / Deed/10-11/38/1798
I am seeking further information with regard to these individuals, including their
relationship to each other. Henry appears to be the Henry CURLOCK/KERLOCK found in
Rutherford Co., NC, tax records, 1782; Mecklenburg Co., NC, court records, 1787; and the
1790 federal census for Rutherford Co., NC. The Mecklenburg Co., NC, connection leads me
to believe that Henry could be a son of Frederick CARLOCK (s/o David), not mentioned among
Frederick's children on page 437 of the book "History of the Carlock
Family", by Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK, 1929. Furthermore, the 1787 Mecklenburg Co., NC,
court record where Henry was awarded money for the orphans of Christopher LANDESS suggests
that Henry may be somehow related to the family of George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca.
1779, NC, ancestor of the Illinois branch of the CEARLOCK (pronounced like
"CARELOCK") family, who married Christopher LANDESS's granddaughter Rachel
LANDERS, Oct. 11, 1805, Warren Co., KY.
The above-mentioned Rutherford County, NC, Deed Index also includes the following listings
for a Henry LANDERS. Is this the same Henry LANDERS who was the son of Christopher
LANDESS, the father of Rachel LANDERS, and who migrated to Warren Co., KY?
Landers, Henry / Green, William / Deed/M-Q/360/1796
Landers, Henry / Hamrick, James / Deed/M-Q/301/1796
Furthermore, page 437 of the book "History of the Carlock Family" lists a Joseph
CARLOCK (s/o Lemuel, Hanchrist, David), "b. 1780, in southwestern Va.; emigrated to
Tenn. with his uncle, Abraham Carlock, in 1803; later settled in Marion Co.; served War
1812; enlisted as Private Oct. 4, 1814, in Capt. Wm. Dooley's Company, McGrory's
Regiment, West Tenn. Militia Inf.; dis. Jan. 4, 1814; wife unknown. Children: 1. James,
born 1800; wife Elizabeth _____; wife b. 1810, farmer. 2. Joseph Taylor, b. Oct. 19,
1857, in Walker Co., Tenn.; m. Phoebe Halloway, April 7, 1820." Interestingly, this
Joseph's son James also used the spelling "CARELOCK", and the book says that
Joseph's son John migrated to Allen Co., KY, and was the father of George Washington
CARLOCK (1812 - 1862) who died in Warren Co., KY, and whose son Luther Carel
CARLOCK/CEARLOCK was the ancestor of the Oklahoma branch of the CEARLOCK family. At this
point I do not have any evidence to connect this Joseph CARLOCK!
with the Joseph CARLOCK/CARELOCK mentioned in the Rutherford Co., NC, 1797 land grant and
1800 deed.
Any additional information with regard to the Henry and Joseph CARLOCK/CARELOCK mentioned
in the Rutherford Co., NC, 1797 land grants and 1798, 1800, and 1803 deeds would be
greatly appreciated.
