I have finally been able to connect the CURLOCK family of Jefferson Co., IL, to my CARLOCK/CEARLOCK family of nearby Fayette and Montgomery Counties. David CARLOCK/KEARLOCK/CURLOCK (s/o Jacob CARLOCK/CARELOCK, George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK), b. 1838/39, probably Bowling Green, Warren Co., KY; m.#1. Rebecca OSBORN, Aug. 29, 1857, Montgomery Co., IL, and divorced ca. 1858, Jefferson Co., IL; m.#2. Elizabeth "Bets" BOOK, Nov. 9, 1858, Jefferson Co., IL, and divorced ca. 1864, Jefferson Co., IL; m.#3. Elizabeth TURMAN, Jan. 1, 1866, Jefferson Co., IL; d. Aug. 16, 1906, May, Garland Co., AR. Note that some of David's children used the surname BOOK instead of the surname CURLOCK. Military pension papers also show that David lived in Lamar Co., TX, in 1884. David is mistakenly listed as "Daniel" in some records, probably due to the handwriting on his marriage license to Elizabeth "Bets" BOOK which could easily be mistaken for "Daniel". David was also a private in Company I, 60th ! Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry, during the Civil War. Information about David and his descendants can be found in the following report which appears on my homepage: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/i/l/Susan-E-Tilleman/GENE18-0001.html . Since the exact lineage of David's grandfather George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC, has not yet been determined, David's lineage appears as follows in my report at this time: Hans GERLACH David GERLACH/CARLOCK Frederick Cornelius CARLOCK unknown CARLOCK (anc. of G. CARLOCK, ca. 1779) George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK Jacob CARLOCK/CARELOCK David CARLOCK/KEARLOCK/CURLOCK Any additional information about this family would be greatly appreciated.
