This is in reply to Katheryn HADDAD's posting to the CARLOCK list today titled
"Documents of Carlocks in NC". It will take me a long time to sift through all
of the information Katheryn provided. I am very much interested in this material because
I am still searching for information regarding the ancestry of my direct ancestor, George
W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC.
With regard to the excerpt from Katheryn's material which follows this message, Henry
GOODNIGHT of Mason Co., KY, was an uncle to my George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK's (b. ca.
1779, NC) wife Rachel LANDERS. Both Rachel's mother Catherine GOODNIGHT LANDERS and
Henry GOODNIGHT were children of Hans Michael "Michael" GOODNIGHT and his first
wife.
At this point I am not sure whether the "Frederick Carlack" who lived next to
Henry GOODNIGHT was the elder or the younger Frederick CARLOCK. If anyone can identify
which Frederick this was, please let me know.
The significance of this record to me is that it establishes a connection between
Frederick's family and the in-laws of my George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, providing further
evidence for my belief that George is somehow descended from the elder Frederick CARLOCK.
Also of note in this excerpt are the names Col. Martin PHIFFER, Benjamin SHINN, and George
RODGERS. According to pages 215 and 615 of the book "History of the Carlock
Family", by Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK, 1929, George CARLOCK (s/o Frederick, David), b.
1740, "served as a private soldier in Captain Martin Pfifer's 2nd Troop North
Carolina Light Horse Dragoons from Mecklenburg County." George's daughter
Rebecca married a SHINN, first name not yet identified.
With regard to the surname ROGERS, see "ORIGINAL MESSAGE #1" below in which I am
attempting to find the connection between a Joseph ROGERS mentioned in a 1787 Mecklenburg
Co., NC, court record which also included the names Christopher LANDESS and Henry KERLOCK.
Christopher LANDESS was a grandfather of my George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK's (b. ca.
1779, NC) wife Rachel LANDERS. Christopher LANDESS's daughter Mary also married the
above-mentioned Hans Michael "Michael" GOODNIGHT as his second wife.
The following excerpt can be found on page 209 of the book "William Moore GOODNIGHT
of Johnson County, Missouri, 1875 - 1951", by Veda GOODNIGHT JONES and Mabel
GOODNIGHT STEVENSON:
"Henry, ... son of Michael and his first wife, married Elizabeth (Condor?). On
August 7, 1787 he obtained a North Carolina Land Grant (#674) for 39 1/2 acres on Buffalo
Creek. This creek was not named on our map of Cabarrus County, but we were told that it
ran along the south side of the present town of Concord. Henry sold this tract in two
parcels. One (28 3/4 acres} to George Condor on August 21, 1792, the other (10 3/4 acres)
to John Morgadnt (?) on May 25, 1793."
This portion of Mecklenburg County became Cabarrus County in 1792.

Subject: [ROGERS] Joseph ROGERS and the orphans of Christopher LANDESS, 1787, Mecklenburg
Co., NC
Can anyone identify the Joseph ROGERS mentioned in an Oct., 1787,
Mecklenburg Co., NC, court record as having to pay money to Henry
KERLOCK that he received for the orphans of Christopher LANDESS,
deceased, namely Jacob, Felix, and Elizabeth? I am related to both this
CARLOCK/KERLOCK family and this LANDESS/LANDIS family, but have not yet
determined what Henry KERLOCK's relationship was to the LANDESSes in
1787. Henry KERLOCK was living in nearby Rutherford Co., NC, at the
time. I would also like to determine the relationship between Joseph
ROGERS and the LANDESSes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
