Good Morning all Good to here from you again Cleburne... Ok I am guessing here but we have a Virginia family that just melts into the Carolina land scape I have not found. I suspect that these may be some of the lost boys who later, like so many went West to Texas, Arkansas and Missouri... Cleburne...Have you considered the DNA project? Your line would be wonderful candidate... Joe Matlock Descendants of John Matlock Generation No. 1 1. JOHN7 MATLOCK (WILLIAM6, JOHN MOORE5, JOHN4, GEORGE3, JOHN2, WILLIAM1) was born Abt. 1734, and died Aft. 1780 in Burke County, North Carolina. He married JUDAH JUDITH WITT 22 November 1756 in Goochland County, Virginia, daughter of JOHN WITT and ELIZABETH LIPTROT. She was born Abt. 1735 in Virginia. Notes for JOHN MATLOCK:From Lou PERO, 10 Oct 1992; Dear Winnie, The descendants of John MATLOCK were associated with the HUSLEY's and the two families stayed together for over 100 years, down through the Dan River area of N C/Va border - New Kent Co. VA., & Burke Co. N.C. during the Rev War and then into Greenville Co. S.C. by about 1785. John MATLOCK was a brother-in-law of Charles HULSEY, their wives apparently the daughters of John WITT. On 2 Jul 1756, a son, Charles, was born to Charles HUSLEY and Hannah WITT. On 1 Jul 1759, a daughter, Parthenia was born to Charles HUSLEY and Anna WITT. [Note: Lou PERO was a non MATLOCK, but she found the above information when searching for her family history ... I wonder if the name she mentions as "HUSLEY" could possibly be "HORSLEY"?] Arthur Fred Jones, JrEntries: 250 Updated: Sat Aug 25 22:31:14 2001 Contact: Terri Jones aimwolf@yahoo.comID: I180 Name: John MEDLOCK Matlock Sex: M Change Date: 24 NOV 2000 Marriage 1 Judah WITTMarried: 22 NOV 1756 in Henry County, Virginia Note: Note: They lived in Henry County, Virginia and Rockingham County,North Carolina.

She gives her father as John Matlock, and her first husband as Garret Rutledge. Joe Greene, 611 Tarragona Way, Daytona Beach, FL 32114, (1991, now deceased) has researched the Matlocks, and gave me my best clues to the origins of the Hulseys, since he had tracked the Matlocks by noting their close association with the Hulseys. Something of this same thing is possible with the Matlocks. Here is one paragraph from a very informative letterfrom Joe to Anna and me: "...Based on the 'Douglas Register' I conclude that John Matlock (Medlock) and Charles Hulsey of Goochland Co were brothers -in-law, who both married Witts, probably sisters....John Matlock and Charles Hulsey bought adjacent land in Greenville Co, SC around 1789/1790. So did Charles Estes and Jesse Chandler. I feel these families intermarried....Jesse Chandler seemed to be closely connected with the family of Michael Henderson. My g-g grandfather James Medlock (who married a Sallie Jones) named a daughter Mary Henderson Medlock. Silas Medlock, probable brother to James Medlock, named a son, Henderson Medlock, according to the 1850 census (not verified by other family records). I suspect James and Silas were sons of Nathaniel Medlock, of the same area, and grandsons of the aforementioned John Matlock. Nathaniel Matlock may have been brother to your Mary Matlock, who married Garret Rutledge in 1791 and then Waddy Thompson, according to your letter."Birth: 1773 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia Note: Her birthdate is derived from the fact that she said she was near 69 years of age when she applied to receive the back pay for Robert Thompson. The map locks and the whole cities apparently lived near each other and probably intermarried from the early 1700s. In the first two or three pages of the Hulsey book, I listed all the deeds I could find for both families. It appears to me that they must have been living in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, which later became Henry County about the time Mary was born. This area is right along the Virginia/North Carolina border. I think they then moved to Rowan County, North Carolina from which Burke County was formed in 1777, and from there to Greenville County, South Carolina probably a few years later. Mary says she wasbrought up in Greenville County. I should add that earlier researchers thought she had said Granville district, but to me it looks like Grinville, which would most likely be Greenville.1 Census: 1850 Franklin County, Alabama Note: She is in the household of John Tharp, her age given as 75 born South Carolina.

However, given the name Cleburne (heavily used in the Weddle line) and the Franklin Co., AR address, I would not be surprised to learn this line fits somehow with the Richard Matlock line - perhaps not thru direct decadency, but by some connection. I am also quite curious as to what you might know about the family in Laurens Co., SC as several researchers have said that Richard Matlock (Medlock) lived with "wife #1" in SC where their children were born. When wife #1 died about 1800, Richard married Mary Weddle and they settled in Hawkins Co., TN. We know from the census that the only person with a surname close to ours in Laurens Co was: 1800 MATTACKS JOHN Laurens District SC 015 00100-20100-00 (John shows no "males under 10" here, so if he is the correct line, Silas was b. after the enumeration) On the other hand, circling Laurens, the counties are: Spartanburg, Greenville, Anderson, Abbeville, Greenwood, Newberry, and Union Counties. In those counties in 1800 we find: GREENVILLE CO 1800 MATLOCK JOHN Greenville County SC 269 00001-10101-00 1800 MEDLOCK CATHERINE Greenville County SC 271 20100-40100 1800 WHITLOCK NATHANIEL Greenville County SC 270 21201-21210 NOTE 1: Nathaniel has been indexed Matlock and Whitlock.There is some question to what it really is. We will listed it as Whitlock but my first reading was Matlock. NOTE JMB: both Catharine and Nathaniel show males under 10, so Silas could belong to them??? ABBEVILLE CO 1800 MATLOCK NATHANIEL Abbeville District SC 019 31010-20010-00 NOTE JMB: This Nathaniel also shows males under ten, so would be a possibility This would constitute our "fishing pond" for Silas.... Joe will have to let you know if he has records including any of these families to include or eliminate a Silas.... Good luck and let us know what you learn!!!

My name is Cleburne Waldemar MEDLOCK, Jr., s/o (Dr. Cleburne Waldemar MEDLOCK, b. 21 Oct 1879, Franklin Co. AR, d. 1972, s/o (Harvey Dreyton MEDLOCK, b. 1843, Laurens Co, SC, s/o (Silas MEDLOCK & Catherine Gaines MURFF))). Silas was b. circa 1800 in Laurens Co. SC and lived there until sometime after the 1850 census. Ten years later, my Gf Harvey is listed in the 1860 Census for Pike Co. AR, living in the home of Dr. James Cannon. There he enlisted in the 19th (Dawson's) Arkansas Infantry Regiment of the CSA for the Civil War. Shortly after the end of the "War", he moved to Franklin Co AR and obtained land there. Could your MEDLOCKs and mine have common ancestors? Please reply, letting me know whether or whether not you think that might be the case, and, if so, who those ancestors of both of us were. (In particular, I need to find the father of Silas; it has been suggested by others that this was a "John" M., b. 1773, but I have seen no "children of John and . . ." that lists Silas as a son.) Most sincerely, Cleburne Waldemar Medlock, b. 22 Feb 1934, Tulsa, OK
