I just uploaded an article and photos concerning the grave of William Matlack and his wife Mary Hancock. Once again I do not have copyright or express permission to reprint this article. I only have the name of the author and an original print date of around 1974-75. I hope to eventually track down the ok to print this. If anyone can help track down what I need, please email me.

----- Original Message ----- From: jcooper To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, November 25, 2000 12:36 AM Subject: Richard Matlock b.1761 Hi Jana, After all my research, it looks as though your Richard Matlock is younger brother to my direct line, Elisha Hosea Matlock, b.1754 in VA. This is how it all came together. I have been trying to locate the parents of my great-grandfather John W. (Wesley) born 11 Feb 1838 in Madison County, Illinois. According to the latest Jess Nettles Armstrong information entitled Matlock, Derbyshire, England, a notation on page 58 under James Monroe Matlock, Lewis Micajah (also listed as Micajah Lewis) Matlock found in 1850 Madison County,IL. !850 Federal Census Madison County, IL 25 Sep 1850 (parenthesis are mine) Micajah Matlock 44m Laborer North Carolina Lavina " 44f Tennessee Alfred " 20 m Illinois James " 15 m " (James Monroe) John W. 13m " (John Wesley) Mary L. 10 f " William H. 7 m " (William Henry) Francis M. 6/12 m " True to the notation on pg.58 John W. Matlock is found near his brother James Monoe Matlock in Moniteau County, MO in 1870. My John W. is found in Walker Township and James Monroe is found in Harrison Township, both in Moniteau County Mo in 1870. 1870 Federal Census Harrison Township, Moniteau County, Missouri 19 Jul 1870 Matlock J.M. 36 m Harness Maker Illinois ______ M.E. 28 f Keeping House " ______ S.L. 12 f " ______ M.L. 10 f " ______ I.N. 5 f " ______ Geo 1 m " ______ N.(?) 8 f " ______ W.H. 26 m Laborer " (William Henry) 1870 Federal Census Walker Township, Moniteau County, Missouri 21 Aug 1870. (I personally looked up these three census records). Matlock, Jno. (John W.) 32 m Farmer Ills _________ J. (Jennie) 27 f Keeping House Mass _________ V. (Violet) 5 f Mo _________ J.P. (John Perry) 2 m " (My grandfather) _________ L. (Louis) 2/12 m " According to the Encyclopedia of Matlocks, Lewis Micajah is also listed as Micajah Lewis and his father is Elisha Hosea Matlock (what is the proof of that?). Elsiha Josea is found in Matlock Encyclopedia as being born in VA 1754. Joe Matlock's post dated 23 Mar 2000 puts Elisha Hosea Matlock son of Nicholas and Mary Shelton. Can that also be verified? If it's true Elisha Hosea Matlock is older brother to Richard Matlock b. 1761 ( your direct line). Again, can Elisha Hosea Matlock's parentage be substantiated and the claim Elisha Hosea is father of Lewis Micajah (Micajah Lewis) Matlock? If the sources are accurate, I can trace my ancestors all the way to immigrant John Matlock coming over from England on the Griffith in 1675. This is the Line: Janet Matlock b. 1947 Cleveland, OH Perry Wilson Matlock b. 1917 Pedro, FL John Perry Matlock b. 1868 High Point, Moniteau County, MO John Wesley Matlock b. 1838 Highland, Madison County, IL Micajah Lewis or Lewis Micajah b. 1806 Burke County, NC living in Madison County IL in 1850 Elisha Hosea Matlock b. 1754 VA Nicholas Matlock with wife Lucy Shelton John Moore Matlock with wife Hester Watson Immigrant John Matlock b. 1638 Muskam, Nottingham, England with wife Anne Moore. Have you traced your direct lineage beyond that? I have all the details of John W. (Wesley) Matlock decendants and believe me Jess Nettles comment that "all of this group seems to have been small" is no longer true. I sure would like to hear from you regarding my findings and if it's all true, you and I are near kin. Thanks for your hard work on Shawn's site. I reported my findings to Joe Matlock, but not to Shawn. Shawn seems like he's awfully busy and Joe's going to try to locate his sources from his notes. Also look up in Matlock Encyclopedia Alfred T. Matlock, J.M. (James Monroe) Matlock, Nicholas, Deed records of Granville Co. NC and Nicholas, Jr., Elisha Hosea, Micajah Lewis and Lewis Micajah Matlock to see how I tied it all together. Quite fun. Please respond. Gratefully yours, Janet Matlock Cooper from Prescott, Arizona [email protected]

Your reasoning of the date of the Indian attack makes sense as this would leave Catherine a widow with children, but which John?? Catherine shows on the 1800 South Carolina census in the Greenville District with 2 males under 10; 1 male between 10 and 16; 1 female under 10; 1 female 10 to 16 and 1 (herself) as 26 to 45. I suspect but can't prove that the likely spouse is the first John you mentioned. HOWEVER all of the females shown on the 1790 census are candidates for Garrison's mother as they would all be of the right age in 1820. BUT why assume illegitimacy? If one Indian attack happened why not two or some decease that carried away both parents or maybe just simple desertion? There were several areas of public lands that opened for settlement during that time. Maybe they went west and never came back?? I wonder if anyone has access to the actual census forms as they might have a little more information. I am still sorting through the Medlock file. Maybe we wil find another clue or two. Let me know what you find Good Luck Joe Matlock >>> <[email protected]> 11/30/00 03:26PM >>> Dear Joe: I agree that they should be treated as separate individuals. As to the geography, the USGENweb South Carolina site has wonderful information regarding how the state, districts, counties were formed and when. The upshot being that the Greenville District/County and Laurens District/County were right next to one another by 1795 and Edgefield and Abbeville next to Laurens. As in all our other searches for families during this period in various states, borders changed and records are found in various counties, districts. Regarding the John Medlocks of Greenville Co. The 1790 census found on their website, lists a John Medlock (p.70) with 1 male over 16, 1 male under 16 and 4 females; then another John Medlock (p.70) with 2 males over 16, 3 under 16 and 5 females; and on p. 68 a Luke Medlock with 1 male over 16, 2 under 16 and 2 females. I believe that one of the John Medlocks from above must be the grandfather of Garrison Gibson Medlock. It would also seem that the parents of the unwed mother would more likely raise the child. Could it also be that the mother died in childbirth? In your notes for John Medlock, regarding the article in the Ga State Gazette and the John Medlock that was killed in Cherokee Territory. That was from Sam Medlock, who reviewed the article on microfilm at the Augusta Library. He said it was a very difficult to read due to either poor filming or being in a state of disrepair by the time it was filmed. It is possible that the date of 1788 might have actually been 1798 for in 1795, the Abbeville district was formed and the article mentioned that the assualt took place in Abbeville. If in fact it was 1798, it would explain the Catherine Medlock, who appears in the 1800 Greenville District Census....as perhaps a widow of that John. Finally, I know you will be glad. Garrison Gibson Medlock was supposedly born in 1820 in Laurens, raised by his grandparents the John Medlocks. I have not been able to find a John Medlock on the 1820 census in any of the S.C. counties/districts. Do you have such information or has anyone found a John Medlock in S. C. after 1800? Thanks, Mary Jean

Lisa Getting to the easy stuff first....go to Rootsweb.com and look for the page on research lists. I recommend joining two one for MATLOCK and one for MEDLOCK. I would suspect in your case that a review of the archieves for MATLACK might be of some help to you. You can sort through the archives and find a lot of information. As Jacob seems to have died there then I would bet that this Neamiah is the one It would be nice to make that connection. Stay in Touch Joe Matlock.

Fran Well you are half right. The names are uncommon, But the MEDLOCK family of Newton Jasper is from South Carolina and does not seemed to have migrated north. What little I have on them would seem to indicate a mirgation pattern to Georgia to Alabama where the majority still are. However based on what you sent and what I had, I believe that chart one below is a reasonable start. Both Indiana and Illinois have very good Gen Web sites with links. (ILGENWEB) and (INGENWEB).

DAVID9 MATLOCK (JOHN SHEPPARD8, WILLIAM JAMES7, WILLIAM6, ) was born 16 February 1819 in Bloomington, Indiana, and died 02 September 1878 in Union County, Illinois. He married ELIZABETH B. BETSEY JOHNSON 29 August 1839 in Bristol, Kane County, Illinois. She was born 1818 in New York, and died 30 March 1881 in Pavillion, Kendall County Illinois. This couple is buried in the Pavillion Cemetery in Kendall Township, Kendall County Illinois.. Notes for DAVID MATLOCK: In 1850 this family is living in Jo Davies County, Illinois. From Illinois Baptist Pastoral Union Illinois Baptist State Annual, 1879: Rev. David Matlock. This brother was born near Bloomington, Indiana, Feb. 16th, 1819, and died suddenly in Union County, Illinois, Sept. 2nd. 1878 in the 60th year of his age. He was the seventh son of John and Alma Matlock, who were the parents of ten children, eight sons and two daughters. All these sons, except the youngest; were men of large physical proportions and more than average mental ability. They were all men of probity and influence. The father of the deceased, at an early day, with his family settled in Kendall County, Illinois. David's opportunities for intellectual culture were limited to the advantages afforded by the common schools of Indiana and Illinois, which, at that early day, were not remarkable for efficiency or thoroughness. At the age of sixteen he was converted, and immediately afterwards he and his father rode twenty-six miles, to the nearest Baptist church, in what was then known as Yankee Settlement. He was baptized by Rev. A.B. Freeman. His was the first baptism in the waters of the Fox River. In Jn. 1851 he was licensed to preach after having undergone a very severe struggle in regard to duty. He was ordained in June 1852. He subsequently became pastor of the Baptist church in Lancaster, Wisconsin. In 1852, he received a commission from the American Home Mission Society. He has been pastor of the following churches: Argyle, Wisconsin; Payson, Warren, Jefferson Grove and Rochelle, Illinois; Lancaster, Wis. twice; St. Charles, Bloomingdale, Liberty, Otterville, Carbondale, Pavilion, in Illinois; St, Charles twice. After leaving Payson he labored successfully for a season as missionary of our State Board. His record has been blameless. His life unsulled. He was a man of large heart and sympathies; conscious of perfect integrity himself, he had no fellowship with hypocrisy or deceit in others. Bold in his denunciations of wrong, pro-slavery men and sentiments withered under his denunciations. He was also ruthlessly bitter- in his denunciations of the liquor traffic, as well as terribly severe in his attacks upon the license system. His ministerial life was eminently successful. He baptized about three hundred persons, many of them in middle life. On the first day of September he took a severe cold. The next day, which was the Lord's day, he complained of severe pain in his jaw, arms and chest, which he considered neuralgia... he was found by a neighbor, under the shade of a wide spreading oak by the wayside, lying on his face in the stillness of death.... a noble-hearted, generous minded Christian minister, an excellent godly man. At his death he was a member of the church in St. Charles. (Above article sent by Virginia Zeboski). Above David was a son of John Matlock (Sr.) of Kendall Co., Illinois from Indiana. Child of DAVID MATLOCK and ELIZABETH JOHNSON is: 2. i. MARY ELEANOR ELLA10 MATLOCK, b. 28 March 1841, Bristol, Kendall County, Illinois; d. 1925, California. Generation No. 2 2.

I haven't been able to trace Jasper Matlock except he had been in Illinois 13 years when he died in 1879. He came from Indiana. I wonder if my Newton Matlock and Jasper Matlock have any connection with the Newton Jasper Medlock that Joe Matlock keeps mentioning. It rings a bell but ... DavId MATLOCK married Sarah MATLOCK, they were both born in Indiana and had 8 children (this is not verified). One of their sons, Jasper Newton MATLOCK married Nancy Helen Nation on December 23, 1874 in Charleston, Illinois. He was born in Morgan County, Washington Twp, Indiana, in March 1852. He died September 8, 1879 in Charleston, Coles County. I have a copy of the obituary and a copy of the death certificate (the death certificate has very little information on it). His wife, Nancy Helen Nation was born December 11, 1851in Indiana (town unknown). She died Spril 23, 1927. She and Jasper had three boys, one of whom, David, died in infancy. The other two were William Franklin Matlock (my grandfather) and Newton L. Matlock. After Jasper died, she remarried and had a daughter, William Franklin Matlock was born September 07, 1875 in Charleston, Illinois. In a census record and a couple of other data, it showed that whoever entered the name, crossed the "l" in Matlock at the same time they crossed the "t" making the name appear to be Mattock. Frank, as he was known, died on June 1, 1953. Newton L. Matlock was born April 3, 1877 in Charleston, Illinois. He died March 28, 1945 David a. Matlock was born 1879 and died in 1880. I have very little information other than what is listed above. I THINK Jasper came from Indiana since the obituary said so but I don't know how to find records in Indiana. If anyone connects with this name, let me know. He came from Morgan County, Washington Twp, Indiana. My Newton and Jasper Matlock were born at different times from your Newton and Jasper but they MUST be connected to the same family mine was. The names are too similar to ignore, I think. Fran

Mary Jean I would suppose that part of the answer may lie in geography. How are Greeenville in Laurens County, and Greenville county South Carolina related? Where is the Edgefield District? And how is Samuel Medlock who died in 1829 in the Edgefield District related to the John of Greenville? And who is Thomas (B. 20 Aug 1808) ? And how are they all related to Thomas (Christen 9 Apr 1769 in England) who never emigrated?? I think that we must treat them (the John's) as separate individualls until more evidence is gathered and discussed. What do you think? Best Regards Joe Matlock >>> <[email protected]> 11/28/00 03:23PM >>> Dear Joe, Sam and all: If Garrison Gibson Medlock was raised by his grandparents, the John Medlocks...were they the John Medlocks of South Carolina...who appeared on the 1790 census in Greenville Co, S.C.? If so, what do we know of this John Medlock of South Carolina? There are many records of John Medlocks in N.C. one in Burke and one in Rockingham Co on the 1790 census. I also have some printed pages, sent from Sam on a John Medlock born in Va. and died in Greenville, SC (Rev. Soldier) who reportedly produced Isham Medlock, who produced John Williams Medlock b in S. C. in 1803. These above referenced pages do not document their sources for this information, however. Do any of you know of this connection and if so do you have any source for it? Thanks, Mary Jean

Good Morning Peggy As you are aware there is considerable discussion on the issue of parents for Isham and Parthenia. The chart below is ment to only be a suggestion, based on the evidence provided on various sources at rootsweb and genfourm. Concrete documentation may not be forth coming. The argument from negative evidence is always the least desired but serves as pointers and sign posts in the search. I belived that a key element of the search now rest with those in the famliy who have access to the colonial immagration records. Which Medlock's arrived in South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia and when??? I believe that we are dealing with more than one immagrant famliy, maybe of some kin, who lived in the same general areas and intermarried and or closely associated so as to be confused one with the other. Given the poor quality of spelling by mordern standards in colonial records and the bable of accents (what does a 17th century Englishman sound like), the occasion is ripe for lost families, missing records and disappearance of now necessary information. But hey its getting cold out, let's keep looking. Joe Matlock Descendants of John Matlock THIS FAMILY USES THE SURNAME MEDLOCK Generation No. 1 1. JOHN1 MATLOCK was born Abt. 1755.

John Medlock Jr Was supposed to have married Catherine, as the story goes . The 1800 Census of Greenville Co shows Head of household as Catherine Medlock 20100-40100.She is to young to be John Jr. wife. Looks to me we might have a third John Medlock.

Dear Joe, Sam and all: If Garrison Gibson Medlock was raised by his grandparents, the John Medlocks...were they the John Medlocks of South Carolina...who appeared on the 1790 census in Greenville Co, S.C.? If so, what do we know of this John Medlock of South Carolina? There are many records of John Medlocks in N.C. one in Burke and one in Rockingham Co on the 1790 census. I also have some printed pages, sent from Sam on a John Medlock born in Va. and died in Greenville, SC (Rev. Soldier) who reportedly produced Isham Medlock, who produced John Williams Medlock b in S. C. in 1803. These above referenced pages do not document their sources for this information, however. Do any of you know of this connection and if so do you have any source for it? Thanks, Mary Jean

Hey Joe, This is why the list is so great ;) if we all put our heads together the "cobwebs" will be pushed out of our brains and the answers will become clear! Keep it going and let us know when it is figured out ;) Jana Black -----Original Message----- From: Joe Matlock [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2000 11:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MATLOCK-L] Re: Garrison Gibson Medlock Then you must know Elizabeth Dellinger who is also part of the Garrison string...

Maybe it will help someone else make a connection. Albertville, AL is where Garrison Gibson MEDLOCK owned property and several of his children wound up in Marshall Co., AL. "About ten years ago I corresponded with a woman named Betha Wingette who lived in Jonesboro, Ga and who was a granddaughter of Garrison Medlock. She mentioned that Garrison was illegitimate.

Happy after Turkey Day, I just wanted to let ya'll know that I am starting on a few updates. I know way over due! I'm slow. They will probably be few and far between (I'm slow, remember), but some or all of the edited part will be in red letters. If it is only a little bit then the correction will be in red. If there is a lot then just the first word or name will be in red. I have only corrected two items both are in the encyclopedia one is John S. Matlock and the second is Charles Pinkney Matlock (just for you Linda). I hope you like it and it helps us all. Shawn
