This is in reply to the following message which was originally posted to the Fulton Co.,
Illinois, Queries site on May 1, 2001. Page 590 of the book "History of the Carlock
Family", by Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK, 1929, shows the following:
"JAMES MADISON CARLOCK (son of Jacob, Hanchrist, David) b. Darke Co., Ohio, in 1810;
d. 1849; m. Mariah Hurley, who was b. in 1819 in Piqua, Ohio, and d. 1892, near Rushville,
Ill. Children:
1. James Marcellus, b. Mar. 22, 1838, at Piqua, Ohio; d. Sept. 16, 1917, Browning, Ill.;
m. Mary Elinore Alcorn, who is a descendant of the Alcorn brothers who accompanied Jacob
Carlock from Va. to Ky., 1801-3; she was b. July 24, 1846, Hartford, Pike Co., Ill., and
m. Oct. 2, 1862.
2. Harrison, b. _____; d. _____.
3. Ellen b. _____, Darke Co., Ohio; d. Glasgow, Mo., _____; m. _____ Huff."
I do not see listings for anyone named Adorna CARLOCK in the above-mentioned book.
Unfortunately, the book is not indexed, making it difficult to search for a specific
individual.

-------------------------
My great grandmother, Adorna Mariah CARLOCK (maiden name) was born in Astoria, Fulton
County, Illinois in 1848. This information was obtained from her death record; she died in
1940 in New Mexico. She married Thomas Benton
WASSON. In the 1850 U.S. census for Fulton County, there appears a widow named Adarny
Mariah Carlock, but there is not a one or two year old female listed with her. I am trying
to prove that these two are mother/daughter. I know from other records that the maiden
name of the elder Adarny Mariah Carlock was HURLEY, and that her husband, James Madison
CARLOCK died in 1849. I also know that about 2 years later she married James HUNTER. It
seems obvious that there is a kinship here, based on the identical names
and the fact that they were in Fulton County at the same time. Can anyone help me connect
the two? I would be eternally grateful. Thank you.
