Surnames: Medlock Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Se0.2ACIB/265 Message Board Post: In my previous post I was asking about the Campbell County Tn Medlocks...the mystery deepens. My cousin and I managed to get ahold of a civil war pension application for one Franklin Marion Medlock who was living in Gastonia, Gaston Co., North Carolina. We were attracted to the guy because of his age and the unit he served in during the Civil War and took the chance...it paid off sort of... In the pension app Frank claims to have been born in Liverpool England coming into the county supposedly in 1842. The places where he grew up were Grainger County and Campbell Co. (Fincastle to be exact!). I tracked this Frank in the census using the names of his children (and ages) that he had provided in the app...in 1870 and 1880 he claimed to be from NY...in 1900 he claimed England. His info on his marriages are a bit off...claimed he'd married Sarah Mclanahan in 1858 in Grainger County (where she "died" in 1860 but she's not on the mortality schedule)...there is a marriage record for Sarah and Frank in JEFFERSON CO. TN for 1865...however I believe that Sarah got "left" the morning after the wedding cause she appears in her mother's hh in 1870 under the name Mclanahan (ditto for 1880) and Frank is nowhere to be found in 1860 in the vicinity of where he said he got married, etc. He also stated he'd married a 2nd time to an Elizabeth Medlock (no relation) in NC and tha! t this Elizabeth had died in 1884...but she appears on the 1900 census with him and most of their children in Gaston County, NC. Frank claimed to have been a prisoner at Castle Thunder during the war, until it was liberated by the Union. His pension app was rejected by the government because they couldn't find him on the rosters...it may be because he had put down the wrong unit as I had found a Francis M. Medlock on a roster for 3 Tenn. Mtd. Inf. Company A and he'd put down Co.B of the 2nd TN Calvary (he reapplied about 12 years later in 1923 claiming he'd been inducted into an Indiana unit which apparently didn't exist according to the government). Frank died June 11, 1928 and is buried in the OLD McADENVILLE CEMETERY--Gaston County, NC. Now...the physical description of the man was black hair and eyes, dark skin, 5 ft. 4 inches...we believe he may be the brother to Louisa Medlock Hunter who claimed Cherokee descent on the Guion Miller Rolls through her grandmother. According to our data, Frank's mother, Matilda, had married Phillip Malicoat during the 1840's and Phillip was from Grainger County. They lived in Campbell County for quite a while but most of the family "disappears" by 1860 (except for Louisa who apparently was raised by one of the Malicoat families). It was Matilda's mother Louisa who'd been captured and raised by Indians. Does any of this ring any bells? I'd love to find out more.

David, Wonder if this is the one your are looking from? Looks as if the 28 year old Martha may be his oldest daughter. Ages are off... but with census they can vary from year to year. 1860 MEDLOCK D.

I am researching the Medlocks of Lafollete as my gg grandmother was Mary Medlock Mallicoat wife of Calvin Mallicoat. She had a brother by the name of Francis ( Frank) Marion Medlock who formerly lived in Fincastle in Lafollette and has lived in Campbell, Grainger and N. C. and died in 1928 in Gaston N. C. over 100 years old and was born in 1827,1830 or 1832. My gg grandmother had siblings of Frank, Kate,sarah and Louisa. Very little is known of them, but have recently learned the above info. Is this a relative of yours, if so would like to correspond with you. I am kin to the Boshears, Mallicoats,Summers, Riggs, Medlocks and Wrights as well as some others. I'm thinking that your Frankie was a daughter of one of these. William Heatherly of whom I am also kin to ties in with Frankie in some way. My Francis Marion Medlock also had a son by the name of Frank and several other children. He is alledged to have been ;in the Civl war, but the war dept. could not verify this. Look forward to hearing from you. Don Hickerson

My grandmother's name is Ina Francis Matlock Wallace. Her father's name is Charles and a grandfather Matlock is George. I know there is a town in central England called Matlock. Our family came to the east coast of the United States with a great deal of German ancestry but I can not figure out the Matlocks. They came to Hancock County Indiana sometime in the late 19th century I am guessing. I notice that a few groups of Matlocks went to the US south. Any info on those who went north and into Indiana. I would love to know. Brett Cox Decended from the families of Cox Horton Wallace Matlock Jones McLintock Hawkins and some of those have spelling variations that I am trying to figure out Thank you for you consideration

I don't have a Jemima listed as daughter of Luke Sr. Does she show up on any census records before MO.in 1860? I have been looking for a connection in my files for Jemima but so far all I can find is part of an e-mail I saved calling her Jemima Eleanor Choate and married to Luke Jr. Harriet

I had a note but did not know where this person had found the information. As far as Absolom... I don't think anyone really knows for sure who his father is. Personally... I think he was born out of wedlock and carrying his mother's name. But then that is just a feeling I have. If she had been married to a Matlock then it would have had to be Charles B. (if he exists) or Edward M. I think the wives of most of Luke Sr's children have been named whether hearsay or prove. Thanks Wanda

I do know that Charity and Benjamin are in Kings Point Cemetery in Dade Co, MO. The 1880 census listing for Benjamin's son Luke. Has Jemima listed as his Aunt...not a step mother or anything like that.
