The following message was posted to the Claiborne Co., TN, list yesterday. Also see the
following report, including sources. Within that report, I have Barbara's lineage as
follows. Note that I do not yet have proof that either Barbara was the daughter of Henry
or that Henry was the son of Frederick. However, evidence does seem to support these
relationships.

Hans GERLACH
David GERLACH/CARLOCK
Frederick Cornelius CARLOCK
probably Henry CARLOCK/CARELOCK/CURLOCK/KERLOCK
Barbara CARLOCK
The following notes appear in my database with regard to Henry:
"Mecklenburg Co., NC, court minutes, Aug. 4, 1787, 'Kerlock & the Landess vs.
Joseph Rogers', say that Henry KERLOCK was awarded money 'for the orphans of
Christopher Landess, deceased, viz Jacob, Felix and Elizabeth'. Furthermore, the 1790
federal census for Morgan District, Rutherford Co., NC, shows a listing for a Henry
CURLOCK, with 3 free white males under 16, and 5 free white females. Assuming that 2 of
the males are Jacob and Felix LANDESS, 1 of the females was his wife, and 1 was Elizabeth
LANDESS, this leaves 1 additional male under age 16 and 3 additional females living in the
household.
This compiler believes that both this Henry CURLOCK/KERLOCK and the David CARLOCK who was
in Mecklenburg Co., NC, in 1803, and Warren Co., KY, in 1810, are both possible fathers of
George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC. George m. Rachel LANDERS, granddaughter of
the above-mentioned Christopher LANDESS. Further research is needed to determine if Henry
or his wife was somehow biologically related to Christopher LANDESS or his wife. The
surnames of both of the wives are unknown to this compiler at this time.
Henry probably migrated to the Powell River Valley of Campbell Co., TN. The first deed
recorded in Campbell Co., TN, was from a Thomas CAMPBELL to a Henry CARLOCK for 500 acres.
Households for both a Joseph and a James CARLOCK appear in the 1830 census for Campbell
Co., TN. Also, a Joseph CARLOCK was elected both Collector of Public Revenue and
Sherriff, Dec. 12, 1826, Campbell Co., TN. Furthermore, the Barbara CARLOCK, d/o Henry
and Sally CARLOCK, b. 31 Jan. 1805, in the neighboring county of Claiborne Co., TN, was
probably this Henry's daughter.
If Joseph was Henry's son, this could strengthen the argument for the above-mentioned
David CARLOCK being the father of George W. CARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC, instead of Henry.
However, there is also a Joseph CARLOCK (s/o Lemuel, Hanchrist, David, according to Marion
Pomeroy CARLOCK's book) who roughly fits the description of this Joseph. Furthermore,
according to the book 'History of the Carlock Family', by Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK,
1929, Joseph's father Lemuel also had a son named John who migrated to Allen Co., KY,
and had descendants who, like the above-mentioned George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca. 1779,
NC, lived in both Warren Co., KY, and Fayette Co., IL. Some of John's descendants,
found in Texas and Oklahoma, also used the spelling "CEARLOCK" for their
surname. It is also possible that Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK's book may contain errors
regarding the relationships between Lemuel, Joseph, and John. Additional research in NC,
TN, and KY records is needed with regard to al!
l of the above-mentioned individuals."
The above-mentioned George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK and Rachel LANDERS were my
6g-grandparents.

descendants, see the following postings which appeared on the Claiborne Co., TN, list

Below is a transcribed portion of a Letter from Earl Wilson QUINTRELL,
dated Dec 3, 1980, to Cora Ann VAN BEBBER / SMITH, my grandmother. This
letter mentions his relationship to Richard Toliver ROBERSON. Hope this
helps some.
Steve Smith

....................
"My mother is Hattie Elizabeth WILSON. She married Clay Alson QUINTRELL
who was born in FANNIN County, Georgia.
Hattie Elizabeth WILSON was the daughter of Emma McStella ROBERSON and
William WILSON. You may know some of her brothers and sisters. They are
Myrtle Lee WILSON who married Tom SOWDERS. Another child was Dit Thomas
WILSON, named after Dr. Tit Thomas who delivered him there in the Valley.
Another sister was Lula WILSON who went to High School there in the Valley.
She married Lance WOOLUM. THere are other brothers and sisters but they
were not born in the valley not did they ever live in the valley.
Emma McStella ROBERSON was the daughter of Richard Toliver ROBERSON and
Martha Washsington McBEE. In the Valley, her father was known as "Uncle Tol
ROBERSON" and he died in 1922. He and his family are buried in the
ALEXANDER Graveyard there in the Valley. Other children of Uncle Tol were:
Aggie ROBERSON, who married Nelson PETERS. They lived at Grandpa Toliver's
old place there on the upper waters of DAVIS Creek. There was another
daughter, Lou Ann ROBERSON, who was the wife of Gideon SHARP. Their three
sons were Frank, Clayton, and Glenn. Glenn SHARP lives there in the Valley
now. Another daughter of Grandpa Toliver was Aunt Barbara ROBERSON. She
never married and she lived with Aunt Lou Ann and Uncle Gideon SHARP until
she died. She is also buried int he ALEXANDER Graveyard. There were two
sons of Grandpa Toliver but they died young. I feel sure that you may
recall some of these names.
Martha Washington McBEE who married Richard Toliver ROBERSON was the
daughter of William McBEE and his second wife, Barbara CARLOCK / VAN BEBBER.
You see, Great Grandpa William McBEE married twice. His first wife was Ann
WILLIAMS, the daughter of Polly and William WILLIAMS. There were about nine
children by the first marriage.
Barbara CARLOCK married Gabriel VAN BEBBER and there were four chldren by
this marriage. THey were Emily, Marlena, Alexander, and Granville.
Granville moved to Missouri, but I do not know what became of Alexander.
When William McBEE's first wife died - it was about the time that
Gabriel VAN BEBBER died - he ended up marrying Barbara CARLOCK / VAN BEBBER.
From this marriage there was a second family of about six children and
one
of these was Martha Washington McBEE. Thus, you see, Mrs. SMITH, I am
connected to the VAN BEBBER family only thorugh the second marriage and
through a child of htis marriage who was my great grandmother Martha
Washington McBEE / ROBERSON. Actually my blood line is ROBERSON /McBEE/
CARLOCK - I miss the VAN BEBBER blood entirely.
My mother's father, William WILSON, was the son of David M. WILSON and
Clory MOYERS. Other children of this family were Harriet, who died early,
Rachael WILSON who married Thomas COLLINS, There there were two or three
sons none of whom lived in the valley. I know that the father of David M.
WILSON was William Smith WILSON. I also know that Nathaniel C. WILSON, the
brother of William S. WISON, is buried in the YOAKUM Graveyard there behind
the white Church.
This gives you a pretty good run-down as to who I am. Further, I am 60
years old and I am retired from 22 years in teh United States Navy. I work
at the University of Tennessee. I came to Knoxville and began to work at
the University 17 years ago. There are seven children in my family. All of
us are alive and my mother is alive and she is 83 years old. She is well
and she lives in Winchester, Tennessee."

Hello, Steve----
A few days ago you responded to a question I listed about my great-great
grandfather Richard Tolliver Roberson (ROBERTSON). You thought you might
have information about him. Did you have a chance to search your notes?
I
REALLY appreciate your effort. THANK YOU, Loretta.
