Amanda CARLOCK and her family are listed as black on the 1910 census, so they are most likely not related to the family of Frederick Cornelius CARLOCK of Ashley Co., AR. I will keep information about this family in my database for future reference. Please contact me if you need information on this family.

Funeral services at 1 p.m., Friday, July 7, 2006, New Bethel Baptist Church. Interment at Carlock Cemetery under direction of Jones Funeral Home of Crossett, Ark. Visitation from 5-9 p.m., Thursday at the funeral home." > > I will also keep looking for a more lengthy version to possibly appear in the weekly "Ashley County Ledger," Hamburg, AR, at the following site, where the obituaries of other family members have appeared in the past: > http://www.ashleycountyledger.com/ > > In addition to the obituary for Otis's sister Mary C. MCNEAL which I had previously located in this newspaper, one individual who responded to my query also found an obituary for an apparent half-sister, Amanda Corine TAYLOR (1909 - 1999), d/o William CARLOCK and Florence MILLER, widow of Otis TAYLOR, in this same newspaper. > > I am also presently doing some census work to try to connect Otis to the rest of the CARLOCK family. The family of Frederick Cornelius "Cornelius" CARLOCK/CARELOCK (1809 - 1890) and Matilda PYRON (1815 - ca. 1863) was in this same area, so it is quite possible that Otis was somehow descended from this couple. Frederick Cornelius "Cornelius" CARLOCK/CARELOCK is believed to be s/o John CARLOCK, Sr.; Frederick CARLOCK; Frederick (possibly Cornelius) CARLOCK/CARELOCK; David GERLACH/CARLOCK; Hans GERLACH. Additional information about Frederick and his family can be found in the GERLACH report which appears on my home page at the following site: > http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/i/l/Susan-E-Tilleman/?Welcome=1 046272098 > > Susan Cearlock Tilleman > Live Oak, Texas
