This is in reply to the following two e-mails which I received today from Curt CHERRY ([email protected]) today. See the following report: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/i/l/Susan-E-Tilleman/GENE16-0001.html I show your wife's gr.-gr.-grandmother Sally CARLOCK who m. Charles ISHMAEL to have the following lineage: Hans GERLACH David GERLACH/CARLOCK Frederick Cornelius CARLOCK probably Henry CARLOCK/CURLOCK/KERLOCK George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK Henry Alexander CARLOCK Sally CARLOCK I am also descended from George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK. My lineage from George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK and Rachel LANDERS is as follows: George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK Abraham CARLOCK/CEARLOCK John Henry CARLOCK/CEARLOCK James Robert "Robert" CEARLOCK Joseph Edward "Ed" CEARLOCK Claude Abner CEARLOCK Voris Carney CEARLOCK Rex Duane "Duane" CEARLOCK Susan Elaine "Sue" CEARLOCK Garey CEARLOCK whom you mention is my first cousin, once removed. His father Dale Edward CEARLOCK was a brother to my grandfather Voris Carney CEARLOCK. Garey's e-mail address is: [email protected] The information about Henry CARLOCK/CURLOCK/KERLOCK which links our CARLOCK/CEARLOCK line with the rest of the CARLOCK family is relatively new. So far I can only place Henry between 1782 and 1790 in Rutherford Co., NC. His name also appears in a 1787 Mecklenburg Co., NC, court record where he was awarded money for the orphans of Rachel LANDERS's grandfather Christopher LANDIS. I do not yet have proof that Henry was either George's father or Frederick's son, but all evidence points in that direction. As you may already know, all descendants of George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK and Rachel LANDERS are also distant cousins of President Harry S. TRUMAN through Rachel's LANDIS and GOODNIGHT ancestors. See the following report: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/i/l/Susan-E-Tilleman/GENE11-0001.html. See Generation 11, Person 1028 Christian/Christopher LANDESS/LANDIS/LANDYS, and his 11 children. President Harry S. TRUMAN was a direct descendant of Mary LANDIS/LANDERS and Hans Michael "Michael" GUTKNECHT/GOODNIGHT. Furthermore, the Catherine who m. Mary LANDIS/LANDERS's brother Henry, our direct ancestor, is believed to be a daughter of Hans Michael "Michael" GUTKNECHT/GOODNIGHT and his first wife. In the same report, see Generation 11, Person 1030 Hans Michael "Michael" GUTKNECHT/GOODNIGHT, and his 8 children by his first wife. For Harry TRUMAN's lineage, see the following site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/presidents/ I would welcome any additional information that you may have to contribute with regard to your line from Charles ISHMAEL and Sally CARLOCK. Sue Tilleman http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/i/l/Susan-E-Tilleman/index.html?Welcome=1014251066 -----ORIGINAL MESSAGE #1----- From: "Curt Cherry" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 2:20 PM Subject: Cearlock Family in Illinois Sue, I see you have done a lot of research. My wife is a descendant of the cearlock (Carlock) family. Dorothy Binnion (nee Courtright) is her grandmother. Dorothy's mother was Nettie Ishmael. Nettie's mother was Sally Cearlock. Sally's parents were Henry A. Cearlock and Lucinda Merriman. Henry's Parents I believe were George C. Carlock and Rachel Landers. Does this concide with what you have? I found someone else on ancestry.com that had this info in there tree as well as you. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Curt Cherry -----ORIGINAL MESSAGE #2----- From: "Curt Cherry" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 2:47 PM Sue, You should probably have this. The other email I sent you refers to Garey's work/findings. I was passed a family tree that Garey Cearlock created. Do you know how to get a hold of him? Any way read the following. My wife's grandmother, Dorothy Binnion (nee Courtright) born 31 OCT 1923, was a daughter of Robert Courtright and Nettie Ishmael. I see that his information stops at Robert and Nettie. They were both killed in a car accident in 1955. But their daughter is still living in Dupo, IL. I have more info for you if you like. I am also curious about any progress you may have made past George C Carlock. Let me know and talk to you soon. Curt Cherry
