A search of the following site shows that there have still been no CARLOCK or CARELOCK submissions to The Old Mecklenburg County Heritage Book Project 1763-2000: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncomchs/ If you presently live in Mecklenburg Co., NC, or have ancestry from that area, please consider submitting an article for publication in this book. An upcoming workshop is even being planned to help people write such articles. According to the Olde Mecklenburg Genealogical Society at the following site, "the original county was much larger. It was taken from a portion of Anson County, and included most of what is today Union, Cabarrus, Gaston, Lincoln, Cleveland, Rutherford, and all other counties westward to the Mississippi. Upper portions of the present day South Carolina were once part of Mecklenburg. The present size was established in 1842." http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncomgs/ For further information, please either visit the above-mentioned book project site or contact Sheila WEAVER ([email protected]), head organizer of the project.
