John Thanks for the good effort. Most of what you had matches up to information that I had. If Garrison Gibson has always made note of being Illegitimate, and if he and Newton are brothers then why is the same story not found with Newton's family? Or did the parents later marry? Is Garrison's mother then Mary Elizabeth? Which John is the grandfather that raised them? Please stay in touch Joe Matlock >>> "John W. Turner" <[email protected]> 02/21/01 07:24PM >>> Hi, I really wish I knew. This guy is driving me nuts. I traced him from the 1850 census to (word of mouth) dying and buried in Paragould, AR. No Headstone or any marker of course. The funeral home who performed the services got tired of people wanting family history information and wasting their valuable time (costing them money) that she burned all her records. Thus ended my search for Newton Jasper Medlock. This is most of what I have on Newton: Private Co. C., 14th S.C. Inf. Enlisted at Tomotley, March 20, 1862 Paroled: Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865 On last roll September/October, 1864 Born: Greenville District Age: 34 (in 1864). Profession: Farmer Note: Tomotley was/is in Beaufort County about 15 miles NorthWest of the City of Beaufort. It is almost midway between the towns of Pocotaligo and Gardens Corner, not far off Highway 17. Source: Confederate service records NARS, Micro. 267, Roll 274 Newton Jasper was 34 years of age when he enlisted at Tomotley, Greenville, SC. According to his NARA records of "Certificate To Be Given A Soldier When He Receives A Furlough Of Indulgence" (which I take to mean a discharge), Newton was 5 Feet, 10 inches tall, Fair complected, with blue eyes, light hair and by profession, a farmer. Newton enlisted for a period of: "for the war". At a camp "near Petersburg, VA. on February 14, 1865, he received six months pay of $108.00 at the rate of $18.00 per month". On the Greenville, SC 1850 census: Age: 19 has Newton living in a household with Elizabeth (Medlock, Mellock ?) supposedly his mother - age: 47. He is listed on the Laurens, SC. 1880 census: Occupation: Farmer We do know that he left SC and went to AR. We are not sure of the exact route he and his family traveled, but do know that a grandson was born in Booneville, Prentiss, MS. in 1895. This grandson, Thomas Jefferson Medlock, later was also buried in Woods Chapel Cemetery in Paragould, Greene, AR. along with his Father, John Trainum Medlock and brother Wheeler Jackson Medlock. Wheeler was born 1900 in Haleyville, Winston, AL. Newton was buried December 02, 1920 at the Woods Chapel Cemetery in Paragould, Greene, AR. Newton's marker is either buried or indecipherable from weathering as to make it unlocatable. Wish I could help more but this is all that I have. I have been to the reunions in AL and plan on going again this year. However, they have yielded nothing about Newton. Memories have faded and nothing substantial has been handed down. There was a report of a trunk that belonged to Newton being passed to a family in Paragould, AR that married into the Medlocks. I have tried several times in vain for a response from these people, but they will not answer me. I have been there in person to the home, twice, only to be shooed away with false promises and upset people because I woke them in the middle of the day. I would appreciate any help that I can obtain on this man and his parental and sibling ancestry.
