MARY JANE CARLOCK was born January 26, 1831 in Cape Girardeau County (Later Stoddard Co.),
Missouri. She married first FRANKLIN WILLS in 1856, but he died in 1859.
Now, there were either two Mary Jane Carlocks in that area (cousins), or M.J. had a quick
and bad marriage. The "History of SE Missouri" says JOHN H. BLEDSOE, b. 1845 in
TN. In 1868, he married MARY JANE CARLOCK, then moved to Johnson County, TX. In 1880 he
moved to Dunklin County near Wayne Co., MO.
In the mean time, Mary Jane Carlock married c. 1871 in Wayne County, MO to WILLIAM
ARMSTRONG DAVIS. So either she left Bledsoe w/in 3 years and returned to Mo, he later
going there himself, or she had a cousin by the same name who married him.
Anyone else claim a Mary Jane Carlock out there?
I will next send you my information on Mary Jane's father WILLIAM VANCE CARLOCK.
There were two by that name!
