The obituary for Vedas Lorene WADE (1914 - 1999), d/o Lacy Joe MANN and Mira
Virginian (or Virginia) CEARLOCK was posted Feb. 27, 1999, to the Stephens
Co. OK Obits Forum at the following address:

Does anyone have any information about Mira Virginian (or Virginia)
CEARLOCK's ancestry? It seems very likely that she may be the daughter of
Luther Carel (or Carol) CARLOCK/CEARLOCK (pg. 438 of "History of the Carlock
Family", by Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK, 1929), s/o George Washington
CARLOCK/CEARLOCK (p. 438), s/o John CARLOCK (p. 437), s/o Lemuel CARLOCK (p.
437), s/o Hanchrist CARLOCK (p. 436), s/o of David GERLACH/CARLOCK (p. 436).
In January I received information from researcher Dick DIXON of Plano, TX,
regarding Luther Carol CARLOCK/CEARLOCK of Cooke Co., TX, and some of his
descendants with the surname CEARLOCK who also lived in Stephens Co., OK.
I also received correspondence in 1985 from researcher Marilyn WARD LYNCH of
Sayre, Beckham Co., OK, stating "I am currently searching Luther C. Cearlock,
b. ca. 1842, KY. Believed to have lived in Bowling Green area. Will filed
11 Nov. 1887, Cooke Co., TX. m. Nancy E. (Betty) Duncan. Children: Julia
b. ca. 1870/72 TX - William Alfred (Bill) b. 1875, TX - Mary A. (Mollie) b.
ca. 1881 TX - Myra b. ca. 1884." Among the members of the CARLOCK/CEARLOCK
family mentioned by Dan DIXON in January was one living in Sayre, Beckham
Co., OK. Is the above-mentioned Myra the same person as Mira Virginian (or
Virginia) CEARLOCK?
I am in the process of entering information into my database regarding this
branch of the CEARLOCK family, and hope to eventually post it to my home
page. Note that both this branch and the branch of CEARLOCKs descended from
George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC (my branch), have Warren Co., KY,
and Fayette Co., IL, in common. George Washington CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. 1812,
Allen Co., KY (pg. 438) d. in Warren Co., KY, and his brother William CARLOCK
(pg. 440) was born in Warren Co., KY, and d. in Fayette Co., IL. George W.
CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC, and some of his children migrated from
Warren Co., KY, to Fayette Co., IL. For further information on the
descendants of George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC, see my home page
by double clicking on the following link: <A

Home Page of Susan Cearlock Tilleman</A>. I also plan to be expanding that
report in the future as I have a great deal of information about this line
which I have not yet entered into my database.
Also note that Luther Carel CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, his parents, and some of his
siblings are pictured on page 439 of the book "History of the Carlock
Family". A few of our subscribers also belong to this branch of
CARLOCKs/CEARLOCKs from Johnson Co., TX. I am still searching for the exact
connection to be able to link these two branches of CEARLOCKs together.
