This is in reply to Denise GREGORY's (rbeals(a)alltel.net) Oct. 13, 1999, posting to the
Rootsweb CARLOCK Message Board titled "ORPHA CARLOCK WHO MARRIED DAVID SHELBY ILL TO
TX."
You may already have this information, but the following source shows that David SHELBY m.
Orpha CARLOCK, Apr. 3, 1817, White Co., IL:
Illinois State Archives, Illinois Statewide Marriage Index 1763 - 1900,
(
http://www.sos.state.il.us/GenealogyMWeb/marrsrch.html), Vol. 1.
An Orpha CARLOCK, d/o Moses CARLOCK and Margretta FORD, b. Sept. 12 1794, appears on page
570 of the book "History of the Carlock Family," by Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK,
1929. Although the uncommon name leads me to believe that these were the same individual,
I do not yet have enough evidence to positively conclude this to be the case.
Moses CARLOCK was born in VA and died in Morgan Co., IL. The following map shows that
Morgan Co., IL, and White Co., IL, are a great distance from each other, but both near
river transportation, with Morgan Co. bordered by the Illinois River, and White Co.
bordered by the Wabash River, the two rivers being connected by way of the Mississippi and
Ohio Rivers.

Moses's daughter Orpha would have been 22 years old at the time of the marriage
between David SHELBY and Orpha CARLOCK.
Please let me know if you find any additional information which may help us prove whether
or not these two Orpha CARLOCKs were the same individual.
