According to the book "Annals of Tazewell County, Virginia, From 1800 to 1922," Vol. I, by John Newton HARMAN, Sr., published 1922, by W. C. Hill Printing Company of Richmond, VA, page 20, "In ... 1753, a road was ordered from Samuel Stalnaker's on Holston River, to James Davis', with these workers: ..., Frederick Garlock, David, George and Conrad Carlock, Frederick Stern, ..." I believe this may be evidence that David CARLOCK who was later found in Mecklenburg Co., NC, and Warren Co., KY, was a son of Frederick (s/o David). Furthermore, from the listing of the names it appears that David may have been older than his brother George. Frederick's father David, believed to have been born in 1674, to have married in 1714, and to have died in 1763, would most likely have been too old in 1763 to have worked on the construction of a road. Since Frederick is believed to have been born in 1720 and his son George is believed to have been born in 1740, both David and George were probably young teenagers, around 13 or 14 years old, at the time of the construction of the road. If David was indeed older than George, I would estimate his birthdate to have been ca. 1739. Another source for this same information is the book "Kegley's Virginia Frontier," by F. B. KEGLEY, published 1938, by The Southwest Virginia Historical Society, page 118. Sue Tilleman List Administrator for the CARELOCK, CARLOCK, CEARLOCK, and GARLOCK Lists -----ORIGINAL MESSAGE #2----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, 27 Apr 2003 18:47:11 -0700 Subject: Family of David Carlock of Mecklenburg Co., NC, and Warren Co., KY This is in reply to the series of messages posted to the CARLOCK list earlier today by Katheryn HADDAD on the topic of the CARLOCK family in Mecklenburg Co., NC, and Warren Co., KY, all of which can be accessed through the following site: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/CARLOCK/2003-04 . I have not yet had a chance to thoroughly analyze the information posted by Katheryn, but did want to make one minor correction. The father of Rachel LANDERS, wife of George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK was Henry LANDERS, not John LANDERS. Rachel did have a brother named John LANDERS who married Mary SATTERFIELD, Sept. 30, 1805, Warren Co., KY. Rachel's father Henry LANDERS is believed to have died in Warren Co., KY, ca. 1800 - 1801. For further information on this family, see the following report which appears on my homepage: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/i/l/Susan-E-Tilleman/GENE11-0001.html . Within that report, see Generation No. 10, person 514 Henry LANDIS/LANDERS, person 515 Catherine "Cati" probably GOODNIGHT, and their 13 children. I do agree with Katheryn's assessment that this David CARLOCK is the most likely candidate for the father of my direct ancestor George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC. Another possible candidate for George's father is the Henry CARLOCK who was in Rutherford Co., NC, and Campbell Co., TN. I have the following notes in my database with regard to Henry: "Mecklenburg Co., NC, court minutes, Aug. 4, 1787, "Kerlock & the Landess vs. Joseph Rogers", say that Henry KERLOCK was awarded money "for the orphans of Christopher Landess, deceased, viz Jacob, Felix and Elizabeth". Furthermore, the 1790 federal census for Morgan District, Rutherford Co., NC, shows a listing for a Henry CURLOCK, with 3 free white males under 16, and 5 free white females. Assuming that 2 of the males are Jacob and Felix LANDESS, 1 of the females was his wife, and 1 was Elizabeth LANDESS, this leaves 1 additional male under age 16 and 3 additional females living in the household. This compiler believes that both this Henry CURLOCK/KERLOCK and the David CARLOCK who was in Mecklenburg Co., NC, in 1803, and Warren Co., KY, in 1810, are both possible fathers of George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC. George m. Rachel LANDERS, granddaughter of the above-mentioned Christopher LANDESS. Further research is needed to determine if Henry or his wife was somehow biologically related to Christopher LANDESS or his wife. The surnames of both of the wives are unknown to this compiler at this time. Henry probably migrated to the Powell River Valley of Campbell Co., TN. The first deed recorded in Campbell Co., TN, was from a Thomas CAMPBELL to a Henry CARLOCK for 500 acres. Households for both a Joseph and a James CARLOCK appear in the 1830 census for Campbell Co., TN. Also, a Joseph CARLOCK was elected both Collector of Public Revenue and Sherriff, Dec. 12, 1826, Campbell Co., TN. Furthermore, the Barbara CARLOCK, d/o Henry and Sally CARLOCK, b. 31 Jan. 1805, in the neighboring county of Claiborne Co., TN, was probably this Henry's daughter. If Joseph was Henry's son, this could strengthen the argument for the above-mentioned David CARLOCK being the father of George W. CARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC, instead of Henry. However, there is also a Joseph CARLOCK (s/o Lemuel, Hanchrist, David, according to Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK's book) who roughly fits the description of this Joseph. Furthermore, according to the book "History of the Carlock Family", by Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK, 1929, Joseph's father Lemuel also had a son named John who migrated to Allen Co., KY, and had descendants who, like the above-mentioned George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC, lived in both Warren Co., KY, and Fayette Co., IL. Some of John's descendants, found in Texas and Oklahoma, also used the spelling 'CEARLOCK' for their surname. It is also possible that Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK's book may contain errors regarding the relationships between Lemuel, Joseph, and John. Additional research in NC, TN, and KY records is needed with regard to al! l of the above-mentioned individuals." Another probable daughter of Henry is the Nancy CARLOCK, b. ca. 1787, who m. George GRIMES, ca. 1802, Campbell Co., TN; d. Mar. 15, 1864, Knoxville, Ray Co., MO; and is bd. in Millville, Ray Co., MO. The names of George's children and grandchildren may provide clues to the names of his parents. George and Rachel are not known to have had a son named David, but they did have a grandson named David (s/o Jacob). They did have a son named Henry, but this is not necessarily significant because, as mentioned above, Rachel's father was also named Henry. George and Rachel are believed to have named two daughters Elizabeth, which was the name of David's wife. George and Rachel are not known to have had a daughter named Sarah or Sallie. Henry's wife was named Sarah and called "Sallie". George and Rachel did name a daughter Catherine, which was the name of Rachel's mother.

I have listed his two known children and his other probable children based on much indirect evidence: George W. Carlock b.c. 1781, m. Rachael Landers, d.1840-50 prob. Fayette Co., IL Mary H. Carlock b.c. 1784, m. Thomas Heffington Catherine Carlock b.c. 1789, m. James Hendricks Margaret Carlock b. 1789, m. Barnabus Lowe, d. 1840 Jasper Co., TX John D. Carlock b.c. 1795, m. Polly Gibson, lived Missouri *William Vance Carlock b.c. 1797, m. Fannie ?, d.c. 1839 Stoddard Co, MO I have concluded (and it may never be proven) that David Carlock is my William Vance Carlock's father because (1) He sold land in Stoddard Co., MO, to proven son of David, John D. Carlock. (2) He named a son David. Below, now, is my chronology of David Carlock b.c. 1755 NC, m. Elizabeth ?, d.c. 1815 Warren Co., KY: ********************** c. 1789 - Dtr Catherine born (relationship proven on marriage license in Warren Co., KY) c. 1781 - Probable son George born c. 1784 - Probable dtr Mary born c. 1791 - Probable dtr Margaret born 1792: Signed petition against the division of Mecklenburg Co., NC, into more counties. Capt. Chas. T. Alexander's Company included David Carlock.

Witness John Simianer. Proven April 1796. [Citation: "Cabarrus Co., NC, Court of Common Pleas 1793-1787 and Deed Books 1793-1801", pg. 54] David seemed to be a merchant and/or craftsman, which may account for his sometimes not owning and being taxed for land later on; he could have rented his shop in town. (See 1798 below) c. 1797: Probable son William Vance born 1798: David Kerlock was on pg. 40 of Captain Joseph Smith's Co. tax list with no acreage and one white poll. [Citation: Tax Lists of Mecklenburg Co., NC]. Was David in the process of moving to KY at this time? Or had he decided to just rent a shop in Concord?
