I have finally been able to connect the CURLOCK family of Jefferson Co., IL, to the
CARLOCK/CEARLOCK family of nearby Fayette and Montgomery Counties. David
CARLOCK/KEARLOCK/CURLOCK (s/o Jacob CARLOCK/CARELOCK, George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK), b.
1838/39, probably Bowling Green, Warren Co., KY; m.#1. Rebecca OSBORN, Aug. 29, 1857,
Montgomery Co., IL, and divorced ca. 1858, Jefferson Co., IL; m.#2. Elizabeth
"Bets" BOOK, Nov. 9, 1858, Jefferson Co., IL, and divorced ca. 1864, Jefferson
Co., IL; m.#3. Elizabeth TURMAN, Jan. 1, 1866, Jefferson Co., IL; d. Aug. 16, 1906, May,
Garland Co., AR. Note that some of David's children used the surname BOOK instead of
the surname CURLOCK. Military pension papers also show that David lived in Lamar Co., TX,
in 1884. David is mistakenly listed as "Daniel" in some records, probably due
to the handwriting on his marriage license to Elizabeth "Bets" BOOK which could
easily be mistaken for "Daniel". David was also a private in Company I, 60th!
Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry, during the Civil War.
Information about David and his descendants can be found in the following report which
appears on my homepage:

Since the exact lineage of David's grandfather George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca.
1779, NC, has not yet been determined, David's lineage appears as follows in my report
at this time:
Hans GERLACH
David GERLACH/CARLOCK
Frederick Cornelius CARLOCK
unknown CARLOCK (anc. of G. CARLOCK, ca. 1779)
George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK
Jacob CARLOCK/CARELOCK
David CARLOCK/KEARLOCK/CURLOCK
Any additional information about this family would be greatly appreciated.
