Posted on: MEDLOCK Deeds Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/m/e/MEDLOCK/deeds/10002 Surname: MEDLOCK, MADLOCK, HOWELL, JACKSON, SIMS ------------------------- Note: I have left spelling as it is in document… Medlock is spelled as Madlock in the body of the deed. Another thing that I found interesting was that this is a deed from JOHN Medlock to John Howell; but it is signed JAMES Medlock. John Medlock Hawkins County, TN. Book 3, page ??
