Hello, Joe, I saw where you have Benjamin Medlock, father of John Alfred Medlock as son of Samuel who died 1829, Edgefield, South Carolina. Will you give me a source for this? I am working on the records from Edgefield available from the FHLC and, so far, I've not seen proof of this. I know there are a few pieces of evidence that might place Benjamin in Edgefield but, so far, I don't know if they would hold up to prove the point. [To a lineage society, for example]. Like Emma and her Moses Medlock, I want the know for sure that my Benjamin Medlock is the same one listed as a legatee of Samuel Medlock of Edgefield District. If Samuel, Sr. of Edgefield is my Benjamin's father, he & Elenor/Nelly were "probably" foreign born. The 1870 Saline County, Arkansas census show the columns relating to parents birthplace as foreign born were marked for Benjamin. BTW, I believe you are confusing two different Stephen Medlocks. The one in Edgefield died in 1834 [probate records lists his children and widow, Milly] so could not be the one who married in 1838. As far as I've found, this Stephen married only once. Regards, Janet Medlock Cook
