This is quite interesting. Which Carlocks went from Stokes/Rockingham
Co., NC, to Overton Co., TN?
What are some details of the massachre?

The Mountain Meadows Massacre was an important event in history that
greatly
impacted the lives of many families in Overton County, TN, and
Carroll
County AR. The primary families involved in the massacre immigrated
into
Overton County in 1796 and 1806 from Stokes/Rockingham Co. North
Carolina.
Richard Fancher, grandfather to many of those massacred died in
Overton Co.
in 1829 and is buried at Sinking Cane. Names associated with this
wagon
train from Overton County are FANCHER, INGRAM, CARLOCK, POTEET,
SMITH,
MILLER (MYLER) BAKER, DUNLAP, SISCO, TACKETT, JONES, MILUM, MITCHELL,
RUSH,
WOOD to name a few. The migration from Overton County into Arkansas
by
these families began in 1836 and continued up until the time they
left for
California in 1857. As I have spent several years trying to document
these
families from Overton County and how they are inter-related, it
seemed to me
that story is a legitimate one to many genealogists and a valuable
one to
descendants still in Overton County.
