Hi Wanda, We don't know. Joe's son has it and is still mad that his father died and several people have asked him about it but he won't do anything about it. Sam

Hi Sam & Wanda, Jumping in here - perhaps if "we" as "Matlock Researchers" approached him with a group letter, he might reconsider??? If someone wants to draft a letter and post it here, we could all "opt" to add out names to the letter and Wanda could send it???

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: MATLOCK,THURSTON, CRAIG,ALLEN, SCHOEN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/nAz.2ACEB/485 Message Board Post: Is anyone out there researching this William I MATLOCK? Born November 18, 1811 and died December 4, 1900.Married to Eunice THURSTON in Madison County, Illinois on June 14, 1835..Born to this union: William, Irvin Henry, Isaac Richard, Rachel A, Mary Jane, George W. and Cordelia L. The family is found in the 1850 census of Madison County, Illinois spelled MEDLOCK. Found again in the 1860 and 1880 census of Madison County, Illinois. Then no further info. .

Yes Joe, that is right . Elijah was born 1816 in Crawford Co.Mo He died abt 1863/1865 in Boone Co. Ar. There was no certain time that our Matlocks and Medlocks changed their name spelling. My GGrandfather Wlm. Martin son of Thomas, changed his name to Medlock when he came to Douglas Co. Mo. his brothers didn't. Melba Medlock Bolinger

There were two sets of Matlocks that went to Crawford Co. Mo One family was of Isham Matlock from Washington Co. Ky. He had sons Thomas, William and John.he died before 1818. The other set was from Tenn.closely related to the Ky. Matlocks. In Tenn there was an Isham Esau Matlock who, also had a son Thomas Buckingham Matlock. They arrived in Mo.about 1836. Melba

Well, this went through, (and I am really curious about the 1810 Petition as I descend from the Robertson Co. TN Edward Choates), so I am going to retry for the sixth time my other one.

Hello Everyone, Maybe this will go through...after failure of my several attempts to post a longer email on Charity Choate Matlock, who I believe is most likely the wife of Benjamin Matlock son of Luke Sr. & ???, found in Carroll Co. TN 1830 &1840 nearby some Sooters, then moved to Dade Co. Mo. around 1841/2. Joe mentioned an Edward Choate (different from the one(s) that died in Robertson Co.) who signed an 1810 petition with Littleberry Matlock. Exactly what petition was this? Thanks in advance, Best Regards with my fingers crossed, Janet (Baugh) Hunter

I show an Isham in Nelson Co in 1787... I wonder if this Isham is the one is said to have died in Botetourt Co? Or perhaps his son? 1787 MATLOCK ISHAM Nelson Co VA 1365 Blank information - Capt Barnet's Co This is what the Creation of Nelson Co says: Strange that Isham is listed there in 1787 and the County wasnt formed to 1807... Nelson County was formed in 1807 from Amherst county Nelson County is bordered on the north by Augusta County, the Northeast by Albemarle County, the Southeast by Buckingham County, the southwest by Amherst County, and on the west by Rockbridge County. Fincastle, seat of Botetourt Co, was established in 1772 Botetourt Co itself was created in 1770 from Augusta Co... Fincastle is no longer in VA The county was created from Botetourt County in 1772. It became extinct in 1776 when it was divided to form Montgomery, Washington, and Kentucky (now the state of Kentucky) Counties Which makes me wonder if This Isham that was in Nelson Co VA was the Isham below?

Could Charity have been a Sooter?Is it possible that if Benjamin did Marry a Choate, that she could of been a niece to Charity Who is said to have married Luke? I went to the websitehttp://www.rootsweb.com/~modade/kings_pt_cem.htm and seen no hint there that Charity was or wasnt a Choate.. Now I must note that the Sooter Researchers have William Sooter married to a Anna Fly... This William Sooter is said to be the son of William Greenberry Sooter, Jr. (d 11/15/1824) in Christmasville, Carroll Co., Tennessee...married Elizabeth Brown (abt 1775) So what connection is there to the Fly..Sooters and Luke? 1860 SOOTER WILLIAM R Barry County MO 901 Shoal Creek Wm.

Hi Terry I have a Mary Light married to a Littleberry Matlock who dies in Wilson county Tennessee but I have no parents for her. I have look a lot for a Littleberry family but could the "Little" be like little John and go run together and several of that name have a middle name of Franklin. Could Luke have found his brother a bride in South Carolina and yet another reason for being there? Joe Matlock >>> TERRY GLADFELTER <terryg5@prodigy.net> 3/5/2004 9:52:54 AM >>> Hello All I watched the Luke conversation with much interest. I purposefully did not participate just so I could watch for new clues. Joe, on one of your post you had a surname "Light" assoc't with Littleberry in Pendleton, SC. Jacob Light was the next door neighbor to Luke Meadlock on the 1790 SC census in Greenville County. From work of others, this Jacob Light died in 1818 on 12 Mile Creek in Pickens County. He was born ca 1740. His prior location was Halifax County, VA. with his father supposedly from Lunenburg. >From one of the SC Jacob Light family trees @ rootsweb, a female Light married Berry Franklin. This brought up 2 questions. 1) Is there a Berry Franklin? I once on another line kept looking for an individual only to discover the researcher had mistakenly given first name and middle name was used as surname. I have to search now for a Berry Franklin. 2) Samuel Medlock of Edgefield signed several documents for the Franklin family in that county. This led researchers to believe Samuel's wife "Nelly" could be Eleanor Franklin. These Franklins followed the same migration path as the Lights and Mitchells - Va, NC, SC. Then there is the William and Catherine Mitchell who signed as witnesses to one of Littleberry's deeds in Pendleton SC records. This William also lived on Dowdy's Creek in SC, same location as Littleberry. He was supposedly from Halifax, Va. What do you know of the 3 families mentioned - Light, Mitchell, Franklin? Halifax records of these families? Wanda, you asked about the William of SC who married Hannah Carmalt at the First Baptist Church in Philadelphia. The marriage was published in a Virginia paper also. There are only 2 records of a William that early in SC. 1) William and Stephen Matlock were witnesses to a deed for John Fields to Samuel Milhous 18 May 1771, Craven County SC, Granies Quarter Creek, Camden District. 2) William Matlock/Matlack/Malloch in Charleston who was the watchmaker and Revolutionary soldier disappearing from Charleston records in 1795. It was this William in Charleston who bought land in Pendleton County on Wilson's Creek of Rocky River in July 1784 and sold in April 1785 to Dr. Ramsey. William never lived on this property in Pendleton County. Our question is - are these 2 Williams the same man? Brenda, 2 years ago we looked for something on this Luke "Matcks?" in Pendleton County, KY. There were Shaws, naturally, in Pendleton, Greenville, Abbeville, Laurens, SC. I remembered because of name association of like counties in SC and KY. We decided he was of a like age to the Luke in SC. We did not find anything else on this Luke in KY. One other item I was asked to remind everyone on SC. The First Census act was passed by Congress-March 1, 1790 with a 9 month time period to complete the enumeration. A 9 month extension was later given. A summary of the results were published and bound and given to Congress by President Washington October 27, 1791. This summary did not include South Carolina. After this 1791 date SC summary was "tipped in". (Book does not say how much later.) The legal period for enumeration, nine months, had been extended, the longest time consumed being 18 months in SC. This puts SC 1790 census more reflective of the end of the year of 1791.

Well Joe, again I have to say Im sorry, I just dont know This is what it says on Shawns site: ISHAM MEDLOCK, born ca 1762, in Augusta Co., Va. Married l788 in Botetourt Co., Va. To Martha. Children : Martha, Isham, Charles, George, Polly and Claretta. Isham died ca 1825 Botetourt Co., Va. Isham served in the American Revolutionary War as evidenced by many payroll records beginning 1776 until 1782. He served in the 7th Va. Regt. Perhaps there was a Will on this Isham... or a DAR Record.. For she names the Children.. Brenda

But I am also so very glad that so many people are working so very hard to retrieve what can be found and gotten into circulation. Once on the web it can not die....and the family lives on... Joe Matlock >>> Samuel W Medlock <swmed@juno.com> 3/3/2004 5:00:34 PM >>> Hi Joe, I guess you know that Terry and I both come from the same line as Joe Green. Joe was from the son of James Travis, James Travis Jr. Joe Green's research is stored in a warehouse in Colorado and we have been desperately trying to get our hands on it but so far have had no luck. We heard from another source that Sallie Jones was born in Virginia and was to be included in a book about Laurens county early residents but the author died before the book was published and her husband and soon say that all her material was destroyed.

SUCCESS AT LAST, JANE! Phew!

Choate Hello Everyone, Maybe this will go through...after failure of my several attempts to post a longer email on Charity Choate Matlock, who I believe is most likely the wife of Benjamin Matlock son of Luke Sr. & ???, found in Carroll Co. TN 1830 &1840 nearby some Sooters, then moved to Dade Co. Mo. around 1841/2. Joe mentioned an Edward Choate (different from the one(s) that died in Robertson Co.) who signed an 1810 petition with Littleberry Matlock. Exactly what petition was this?

Joe, Who do you have as Garrison Gibson Medlock's father? Are Garrison Gibson and Simpson A. Medlock brothers? I only have one Garrison that was born about 1820. I'm not sure who Garrison's parents are. At one time I thought his father was John R. Will study your email further and get back with you. Thank you once again.

Medlock/Matlock Hi Wanda I did a little looking for Simpson last year and found some information, but not on Austin. There are two Garrison's and I have had them confused before.

Smaller than you might think as there is a Matlock Trucking in Tennesee... >>> <shawn@matlock-family.org> 3/6/2004 3:00:09 PM >>> Howdy, Besure to check out www.matlack.com There are some wonderful old photo's there, some of them need a little more info as to who is on them. There is also a link to a site about Matlack Trucking. Always wondered where they got the name, now I know. The company I work for was originaly owned by Rollins Inc. and they bought or were partners with Matlack Trucking.
