This is in reply to Patty Barrett Emerson's ([email protected]) Jan. 7, 2001, posting titled "David, Frederick, George, Samuel, Sam Lineage", which now appears on the CARLOCK Ancestry.com message board. I believe that I may also be descended from David's son Frederick. I have not yet positively identified the connection between my direct ancestor George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC, and the rest of the CARLOCK family. George's wife's family was from Mecklenburg Co., NC, where Frederick's family was also known to have lived. The first records I have for this George are in Warren Co., KY. I am very interested in your posting for the following reasons: 1. You say that David GERLACH/CARLOCK, b. 1674, Heidelberg, Germany, m. Anna Marie LISEMUS, 1714, and that Anna was b. ca. 1679, Heidelberg, Germany, and d. ca. 1725. What is the source for this information? 2. You list the middle name of David's son Frederick as "Cornelius", and say that he d. Dec. 1792, and that his wife was b. 1729, Augusta Co., VA. What is the source for this information? 3. You list the birthplace of George CARLOCK (s/o Frederick, David) as Page, VA, and say that he married Fanny Mildred PLEMONS. What is the source for this information? 4. You show Samuel CARLOCK (s/o George, Frederick, David) as having the middle initial of "A." and spelling his surname "CARELOCK". What is your source for this? My maiden name of CEARLOCK is pronounced like "CARELOCK", and I am the list administrator for both the Rootsweb CARELOCK and CEARLOCK lists. All of the information you list from Samuel! on down is new to me. I would be very much interested in your sources for this information, as well as any additional information that you may have for this branch of the family.
