Susan asked about the ancestry to Dicy Emaline Carlock b.c. 1821 d. Reynolds Co., MO after 1880 m. Jacob Voyles I have the following that may help with both NC, KY and MO connections: In Mecklenburg Co., NC: 1779: May 29, GEORGE KERLOCK entered 150 acres in Mecklenburg Co./, NC, on Hambys Branch, bordered by Peter Rese, Jacob Shoffner and THOMAS VOYLES.
