Subject: Re: William P. CARLOCK, Union soldier from Fayette Co., IL
Just to add a note to this, for what it is worth:
William Shannon Carlock, b. 11-19-1837, d. 1-23-1863,
(son of Benjamin Lakin Carlock, son of Job Carlock,
son of Hanchrist Carlock, son of David Carlock who
immigrated to the U.S. in 1725,) also served in the
civil war. He represented the Confederacy, served in
the 25th infantry regiment of Tennessee. William died
in service on January 23, 1863 at Chattanooga, TN., at
the age of 25. I have searched and searched for his
cause of death, still undetermined, but I'm guessing -
and I stress GUESSING - that he died of disease. I'm
still working on the facts. William was the oldest
brother of 8 children; I have a picture of his sister
Sarah Emaline, and the youngest sibling Lafayette (a
brother). The picture I have is a photo copy of the
original, and was taken sometime before 1930, as both
are very aged. Will share with any interested party.
