The Rutherford County, NC, Land Grants list, by W. D. FLOYD, located at the following site, shows the following listings for Henry and Joseph CARELOCK: http://ns1.rfci.net/wdfloyd/grants.html Carelock, Henry 4-6 50 1797 Carelock, Joseph 4-6 51 1797 Furthermore, the Rutherford County, NC, Deed Index, Grantor-Grantee, 1779-1917, by W. D. FLOYD, located at the following site, shows the following listings for Henry and Joseph CARLOCK: http://ns1.rfci.net/wdfloyd/DeedDex.html Carlock, Henry & Joseph / Wear, Robert / Deed/12-14/245/1800 Carlock, Henry / McEntire, Alexander / Deed/20-21/98/1803 Carlock, Henry / Porter, David / Deed/10-11/38/1798 I am seeking further information with regard to these individuals, including their relationship to each other. Henry appears to be the Henry CURLOCK/KERLOCK found in Rutherford Co., NC, tax records, 1782; Mecklenburg Co., NC, court records, 1787; and the 1790 federal census for Rutherford Co., NC. The Mecklenburg Co., NC, connection leads me to believe that Henry could be a son of Frederick CARLOCK (s/o David), not mentioned among Frederick's children on page 437 of the book "History of the Carlock Family", by Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK, 1929. Furthermore, the 1787 Mecklenburg Co., NC, court record where Henry was awarded money for the orphans of Christopher LANDESS suggests that Henry may be somehow related to the family of George W. CARLOCK/CEARLOCK, b. ca. 1779, NC, ancestor of the Illinois branch of the CEARLOCK (pronounced like "CARELOCK") family, who married Christopher LANDESS's granddaughter Rachel LANDERS, Oct. 11, 1805, Warren Co., KY. The above-mentioned Rutherford County, NC, Deed Index also includes the following listings for a Henry LANDERS. Is this the same Henry LANDERS who was the son of Christopher LANDESS, the father of Rachel LANDERS, and who migrated to Warren Co., KY? Landers, Henry / Green, William / Deed/M-Q/360/1796 Landers, Henry / Hamrick, James / Deed/M-Q/301/1796 Furthermore, page 437 of the book "History of the Carlock Family" lists a Joseph CARLOCK (s/o Lemuel, Hanchrist, David), "b. 1780, in southwestern Va.; emigrated to Tenn. with his uncle, Abraham Carlock, in 1803; later settled in Marion Co.; served War 1812; enlisted as Private Oct. 4, 1814, in Capt. Wm. Dooley's Company, McGrory's Regiment, West Tenn. Militia Inf.; dis. Jan. 4, 1814; wife unknown. Children: 1. James, born 1800; wife Elizabeth _____; wife b. 1810, farmer. 2. Joseph Taylor, b. Oct. 19, 1857, in Walker Co., Tenn.; m. Phoebe Halloway, April 7, 1820." Interestingly, this Joseph's son James also used the spelling "CARELOCK", and the book says that Joseph's son John migrated to Allen Co., KY, and was the father of George Washington CARLOCK (1812 - 1862) who died in Warren Co., KY, and whose son Luther Carel CARLOCK/CEARLOCK was the ancestor of the Oklahoma branch of the CEARLOCK family. At this point I do not have any evidence to connect this Joseph CARLOCK! with the Joseph CARLOCK/CARELOCK mentioned in the Rutherford Co., NC, 1797 land grant and 1800 deed. Any additional information with regard to the Henry and Joseph CARLOCK/CARELOCK mentioned in the Rutherford Co., NC, 1797 land grants and 1798, 1800, and 1803 deeds would be greatly appreciated.
