This is in reply to the series of messages posted to the CARLOCK list earlier today by
Katheryn HADDAD on the topic of the CARLOCK family in Mecklenburg Co., NC, and Warren Co.,
KY, all of which can be accessed through the following site:
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/CARLOCK/2003-04 .
I have not yet had a chance to thoroughly analyze the information posted by Katheryn, but
did want to make one minor correction. The father of Rachel LANDERS, wife of George W.
CARLOCK/CEARLOCK was Henry LANDERS, not John LANDERS. Rachel did have a brother named
John LANDERS who married Mary SATTERFIELD, Sept. 30, 1805, Warren Co., KY. Rachel's
father Henry LANDERS is believed to have died in Warren Co., KY, ca. 1800 - 1801. For
further information on this family, see the following report which appears on my homepage:
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/i/l/Susan-E-Tilleman/GENE11-... .
Within that report, see Generation No. 10, person 514 Henry LANDIS/LANDERS, person 515
Catherine "Cati" probably GOODNIGHT, and their 13 children.
I do agree with Katheryn's assessment that this David CARLOCK is the most likely
candidate for the father of my direct ancestor George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca. 1779,
NC. Another possible candidate for George's father is the Henry CARLOCK who was in
Rutherford Co., NC, and Campbell Co., TN. I have the following notes in my database with
regard to Henry:
"Mecklenburg Co., NC, court minutes, Aug. 4, 1787, "Kerlock & the Landess
vs. Joseph Rogers", say that Henry KERLOCK was awarded money "for the orphans of
Christopher Landess, deceased, viz Jacob, Felix and Elizabeth". Furthermore, the
1790 federal census for Morgan District, Rutherford Co., NC, shows a listing for a Henry
CURLOCK, with 3 free white males under 16, and 5 free white females. Assuming that 2 of
the males are Jacob and Felix LANDESS, 1 of the females was his wife, and 1 was Elizabeth
LANDESS, this leaves 1 additional male under age 16 and 3 additional females living in the
household.
This compiler believes that both this Henry CURLOCK/KERLOCK and the David CARLOCK who was
in Mecklenburg Co., NC, in 1803, and Warren Co., KY, in 1810, are both possible fathers of
George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC. George m. Rachel LANDERS, granddaughter of
the above-mentioned Christopher LANDESS. Further research is needed to determine if Henry
or his wife was somehow biologically related to Christopher LANDESS or his wife. The
surnames of both of the wives are unknown to this compiler at this time.
Henry probably migrated to the Powell River Valley of Campbell Co., TN. The first deed
recorded in Campbell Co., TN, was from a Thomas CAMPBELL to a Henry CARLOCK for 500 acres.
Households for both a Joseph and a James CARLOCK appear in the 1830 census for Campbell
Co., TN. Also, a Joseph CARLOCK was elected both Collector of Public Revenue and
Sherriff, Dec. 12, 1826, Campbell Co., TN. Furthermore, the Barbara CARLOCK, d/o Henry
and Sally CARLOCK, b. 31 Jan. 1805, in the neighboring county of Claiborne Co., TN, was
probably this Henry's daughter.
If Joseph was Henry's son, this could strengthen the argument for the above-mentioned
David CARLOCK being the father of George W. CARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC, instead of Henry.
However, there is also a Joseph CARLOCK (s/o Lemuel, Hanchrist, David, according to Marion
Pomeroy CARLOCK's book) who roughly fits the description of this Joseph. Furthermore,
according to the book "History of the Carlock Family", by Marion Pomeroy
CARLOCK, 1929, Joseph's father Lemuel also had a son named John who migrated to Allen
Co., KY, and had descendants who, like the above-mentioned George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b.
ca. 1779, NC, lived in both Warren Co., KY, and Fayette Co., IL. Some of John's
descendants, found in Texas and Oklahoma, also used the spelling 'CEARLOCK' for
their surname. It is also possible that Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK's book may contain
errors regarding the relationships between Lemuel, Joseph, and John. Additional research
in NC, TN, and KY records is needed with regard to al!
l of the above-mentioned individuals."
Another probable daughter of Henry is the Nancy CARLOCK, b. ca. 1787, who m. George
GRIMES, ca. 1802, Campbell Co., TN; d. Mar. 15, 1864, Knoxville, Ray Co., MO; and is bd.
in Millville, Ray Co., MO.
The names of George's children and grandchildren may provide clues to the names of his
parents. George and Rachel are not known to have had a son named David, but they did have
a grandson named David (s/o Jacob). They did have a son named Henry, but this is not
necessarily significant because, as mentioned above, Rachel's father was also named
Henry. George and Rachel are believed to have named two daughters Elizabeth, which was
the name of David's wife. George and Rachel are not known to have had a daughter
named Sarah or Sallie. Henry's wife was named Sarah and called "Sallie".
George and Rachel did name a daughter Catherine, which was the name of Rachel's
mother.

Subject: Family of David Carlock of Mecklenburg Co., NC, and Warren Co., KY
Below is what I have found on the probable family of David Carlock of
Mecklenburg Co., NC, and Warren Co., KY. I have listed his two known
children and his other probable children based on much indirect
evidence:
George W. Carlock b.c. 1781, m. Rachael Landers, d.1840-50 prob.
Fayette Co., IL
Mary H. Carlock b.c. 1784, m. Thomas Heffington
Catherine Carlock b.c. 1789, m. James Hendricks
Margaret Carlock b. 1789, m. Barnabus Lowe, d. 1840 Jasper Co., TX
John D. Carlock b.c. 1795, m. Polly Gibson, lived Missouri
*William Vance Carlock b.c. 1797, m. Fannie ?, d.c. 1839 Stoddard Co,
MO
I have concluded (and it may never be proven) that David Carlock is my
William Vance Carlock's father because (1) He sold land in Stoddard
Co., MO, to proven son of David, John D. Carlock. (2) He named a son
David.
Below, now, is my chronology of David Carlock b.c. 1755 NC, m.
Elizabeth ?, d.c. 1815 Warren Co., KY:
**********************
c. 1789 - Dtr Catherine born (relationship proven on marriage license
in Warren Co., KY)
c. 1781 - Probable son George born
c. 1784 - Probable dtr Mary born
c. 1791 - Probable dtr Margaret born
1792: Signed petition against the division of Mecklenburg Co., NC,
into more counties. Capt. Chas. T. Alexander's Company included David
Carlock. [Reference: Newsletter of Mecklenburg Co., NC, Historical
Soceity, pg. 4]
1795: April, Item 1:128, David Carlock recorded purchase of Lot 9, SE
Square, town of Concord. [Citation: "Cabarrus Co., NC, Court of
Common Pleas 1793-1787 and Deed Books 1793-1801", pg. 26]
c. 1795: Son John D. born (relationship proven on marriage license in
Warren Co., KY)
1796: April 18, Item 2:132, John Means, James Scott and Leonard
Barberick, Commissioners, sold to DAVID CARLOCK for 1 pound, 6
shillings and 6 pence Lot #9 in the SE Square of the TOWN OF CONCORD.
Witness John Simianer. Proven April 1796. [Citation: "Cabarrus Co.,
NC, Court of Common Pleas 1793-1787 and Deed Books 1793-1801", pg. 54]
David seemed to be a merchant and/or craftsman, which may account for
his sometimes not owning and being taxed for land later on; he could
have rented his shop in town. (See 1798 below)
c. 1797: Probable son William Vance born
1798: David Kerlock was on pg. 40 of Captain Joseph Smith's Co. tax
list with no acreage and one white poll. [Citation: Tax Lists of
Mecklenburg Co., NC]. Was David in the process of moving to KY at this
time? Or had he decided to just rent a shop in Concord? (See 1796
above)
