The following message was posted to the Fayette Co., IL, Rootsweb mailing
list yesterday in response to another reply to my query for Mandy EVANS, a
tenth-grader who is researching her genealogy for a school project.
"<< According to the Ancestry World Family Tree at
ancestry.com, Wilson
Cearlock was born 1878 and married Emma Sanders (no birthdate, no marriage
date given), and they had a son, Willie Cearlock, who married Gladys Hicks. >>
The Wilson Cearlock who married Emma Artonsis Sanders (1885-1903) was Elias
Wilson Cearlock, son of Henry Alexander Cearlock (1833-1902) and Lucinda
Merriman (1840-1911)."
I do have Henry A. CEARLOCK and Lucinda MERRIMAN in my database. I show that
Henry was the son of George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK (ca. 1779, NC - ca. 1862, IL)
and Rachel LANDERS. My records also show that Henry can be found on the 1860
census for Montgomery Co., IL. (Unfortunately, my books are in boxes at this
time as I am painting part of the interior of my house.)
I have corresponded further with Mandy. Here is what she knows: She got her
information from her mother. She knows of no older living relatives that she
can use as resources. Mandy is fairly certain that Grace's maiden name was
CEARLOCK. Grace married Ernie James BLACK, lived in Vandalia, IL, and died
in 1940, as an elderly woman. Mandy had heard that Grace's parents were John
Henry CEARLOCK and Thersy RHODES, she thinks from a birth certificate, but
she does not have access to the birth certificate at this time. The
information she gathered from John Henry CEARLOCK back came from a listing at
Ancestry.com which appears to not be totally accurate.
Can anyone help Mandy connect her Grace Ann in with our Fayette Co., IL,
CEARLOCKs?
