This is in response to the following e-mail which I received from Winnie J. TATE MORGAN today. She is the second person to have e-mailed me recently inquiring about CARLOCKs with American Indian ancestry. I believe the "Indian doctor woman" to whom you refer was the second wife of Johann Christian GERLACH/CARLOCK/GARLOCK, b. 1669, Germany, one of three sons of Hans GERLACH and Anna Maria KUMER of Heidelberg, Germany, known to have immigrated to America. (See the following report on my home page: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/i/l/Susan-E-Tilleman/GENE16-0001.html.) According to page 418 of the book "History of the Carlock Family", by Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK, 1929, "Upon his arrival on the Hudson, near Fort Lee, N. J., in 1710, he [Johann Christian GERLACH/CARLOCK/GARLOCK] quickly made plans to found a colony or settlement of his own. Accordingly he went into the Mohawk Valley where he secured the Stone Arabia patent, with others, to 12,700 acres of land. Tradition says that he married a native girl with Indian blood---a woman doctor---and that through his Indian wife he was enabled to more easily secure the Stone Arabia patent with an Indian title." The Sarah MCDONALD, wife of Job CARLOCK (s/o Hanchrist CARLOCK, David GERLACH/CARLOCK, Hans GERLACH), of whom you inquire is mentioned on pages 403, 436, and 598 of the above-mentioned book. I find no mention of her ancestry in the book. I also have not done any research with regard to her ancestry because this is not my CARLOCK line. (I am descended from Frederick CARLOCK, brother to Job's father Hanchrist CARLOCK.) If you have not already done so, you might want to place a query with regard to Sarah's ancestry on either the MCDONALD list (http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/) or the MCDONALD Genforum (http://genforum.genealogy.com/my/). I do not have any further information in my database at this time with regard to CARLOCKs with American Indian ancestry.

Would you know anything about a posting on GenForum, CARLOCK FAMILY http://genforum.genealogy.com/carlock/ dated 01-3101, by Fran Deen? She mentions a book "The Beckoning Hand" by Joe Jackson. and that SARAH McDONALD w/o JOB CARLOCK was the daughter of MICHAEL McDONALD, itinerant Scottish trader who migrated from VA to the Cherokee Nation abt 1774 and married JUDY ELIZABETH MODAC, (her Christian name) a full blood Cherokee woman. NANCY CARLOCK, (d/o of JOB & SARAH McDONALD CARLOCK ) married CLEMENS SMITH MEANS and their daughter MARTHA MEANS married SAMUEL WILLIAM TATE. It has long been family lore that MARTHA was of Native American blood, (Cherokee). If SARAH McDONALD was the daughter of the Cherokee woman, then MARTHA would be 1/4. We have been trying to prove this for years! Would love to hear from anyone with info on above. Winnie J. Tate Morgan [email protected] ...
