There were lots of William Vance Carlocks. Mine is the oldest.
Perhaps he was so "famous" that all the others were named after him.
One can only Hope! Here is a chronology of William Vance Carlock, whom
I believe was the son of David Carlock of Warren Co., KY, because (1)
Wm. sold land in Stoddard Co., KY, to John D. Carlock, proven son of
David Carlock; (2) Wm. named one of his sons David.
There were several William Vance Carlocks. They were probably all
named after my William Vance Carlock who was 30-40 years older than
them. Those I have found are as follows:
*1. b.c. 1795 prob. NC, d.1838-40 Stoddard Co., MO. (mine)
2. b. 1834 MO, d. 1863 LA/MS (son of William Vance Sr.))
3. b.c. 1830 IL, d. Nov. 14, 1915 Austin, TX (son of Jacob b. Darke
Co., OH & grson of Jacob b. Rockbridge Co., VA)
4. b.c. 1840 Missouri, d.1924, Austin, TX (I think he is the same as
#3)
For many years I thought his mother's maiden name might have been
Vance. However, WorldConnect shows 528 men with the first name of
William Vance, so it may have been just a popular name at that time.
1810: Probable father David Carlock was on page 276, line 11 of the
Warren/Spencer (formerly Logan and Lincoln) Co., KY, census as follows:

1 female -10 - dtr
Father-in-law of probable brother George W. Carlock ~ John Landers,
father of Rachel Landers ~ was on pg. 279, line 27 as follows:
1 male 26-44 - Father John Landers
1 male 1-10 - son
1 female 45+ - Grandmother?
1 female 26-44 - Mother?
3 females 0-10 - dtrs.
1820: July 1, William Carlick had a letter waiting for him in the post
office at Cape Girardeau Co., MO. Philip Dellinger (formerly of
Lincoln Co., NC) had a letter for him there also on April 8.
[Reference: "Missouri Pioneers" Vol. 3]
1830: Found in census of Cape Girardeau Co., MO, as follows:
1 male 30-39 (1791-1800] William
1 male 0-4 [1826-1830] Unk. prob. b.c. 1826
1 female 20-29 [1801-1810] Frances
1 female 10-14 [1816-1820] Prob. b.c. 1820
1 female 5-9 [1821-1825] Emmaline
1 female 0-4 [1826-1830] Unk. prob. b.c. 1828
Did some of his children die? Missouri was a forested wilderness full
of malarial mosquitos then. Too, there was a terrible world-wide
cholera epidemic in the early 1830s.
1836: William on first Grand Jury of Stoddard County, MO, which had
now broken away from Cape Girardeau Co. [Reference: "History of SE
Missouri" Goodpasture, pg. 359]
1837: November 14, William received a patent for 40 acres in Stoddard
Co., MO, signed by President Martin Van Buren:
South East quarter of the
South East quarter of
Section One in
Township 25
North of Range 10 East
[Citation: Jackson, MO, Patent Office, Land Patent 4641, Serial
#M03450.211: Image via BLM internet site]
**1838: May 26, William V. and Fanny his wife sold to William's
probably brother John D. Carlock for $100 the following 20 acres in
Stoddard Co., MO:
One undivided half of the
South East quarter of the
South East quarter of
Section No One in
Township number Twenty five
North of Range No. Ten East
[Source: Stoddard Co., MO, Deed Bk. A, Pg. 53]
**NOTE: It is because of this land transaction that I believe William
Vance's father was David, the proven father of John D. Also, William
named a son David. The 1810 census above shows that both William V.
and John D. fit the male sons.
1840: Not in the Wayne Co., MO, census. Stoddard Co. census too light
to read.
I hope to get back to MO late next summer to look for Wm's marriage,
see where he lived before his first MO land purchase, etc.
