Morning List! I am currently researching a mystery in my family tree. Thought I'd throw out this info to the List to see if anyone has anything to help. The children used the name Medlock Malicoat interchangeably through the years. 17th Subdivision Campbell County, Tennessee By: John Phillips on the 23rd day of September 1850 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ___________________________________________________________________________ 323 323 Malicoat, Phillip 52 m Collier VA X 323 323 Malicoat, Matilda 29 f TN X 323 323 Malicoat, Cornelius C. 11 m TN 323 323 Malicoat, Mary J. 9 f TN 323 323 Malicoat, Sarah E. 7 f TN 323 323 Malicoat, Francis M. 5 m TN 323 323 Malicoat, Pryor L. 2 m TN 323 323 Malicoat, Louisa 2/12 f TN Prior Lee/Levi Malacot/Mallicoat/Malicoat (et all) was born in Campbell Co. in 1848 to Matilda Medlock and Phillip Malicoate. They appear in Phillip's HH in 1850 (see above). Between 1850 and 1860 the family seems to have been scattered. Matilda's children were given out to various HH in Campbell and some do show up in the 1860 census. I found a Prior Malacot in the household of a Matilda Sweet in Claiborne Co. in 1870 however this Prior is 8 years old (bd 1862) and Matilda never seems to have been married. This Prior stayed in Claiborne up til 1920 when he moved to Union Co. TN. So far the Malicoate researchers and I haven't been able to place this Prior (ie who was his father) and although he died in Nov 12, 1939 and was buried in Hubbs Cemetery in Union we can find no death certificate for him in the state of Tennessee. One of his sons, Clayton Malicoat, married a Vassie W. in 1929. Vassie passed away 14 Feb 1994 in Knoxville, Knox Co., TN --no clue about Clayton though. Now, Louisa Medlock who had married Samuel Frank Hunter in 1874--she had applied for monies on the Guion Miller Roll basing her claim on the following: Aug 26, 1907 (app #39733 Luiza Hunter). This Louisa claims Mary Elizabeth Medlock/Matlock as her sister. Mary E. had married Calvin "Ked/Kad" Malicoat (from Union Co., TN) along about 1856 or so. Their daughter Mary E. married William S. Summers son of Lorenza and Kate Boshears Summers. So we know about Mary E. Here's the pertinent information for Louisa 'Lulu' Medlock Hunter: Louisa's father: William Heatherly Louisa's mother: Matilda Medlock, never married to William Had been told her mother Matilda died about 1865 (Louisa appears in the 1870 census in Campbell County in William and Nancy Heatherly's household age 18 and listed as housekeeper) Question 16 on the application asks her to name her siblings. She stated: 1. Frank Medlock b. about 1846 d. while in the U. S. Army 2. Sally Medlock 3. Katie Medlock 4. Mary Malicote She stated that in 1851 her mother resided on Cedar Creek in Campbell County TN She names a Louiza Medlock as her grandmother, mother to Matilda Medlock. Under Remarks she states: "My GrandMother (Louiza) was stolen by the Indians when she was 1-1/2 years old and then restolen by another tribe and my Mother was born and her father was said to be a Indian, and people say, that she was of Indian descent." Lurana Wilson and Mary Agee signed as witnesses to the affidavit/application. Needless to say, her claim was rejected. What is interesting is her brother Francis Marion Medlock didn't die in the army. He basically ran away and never came back. My cousin and I have tracked Frank down to NC where he applied for a civil war pension. It was discovered he claimed he'd married a Sarah Mclanahan in 1858 in Grainger County (where she "died" in 1860 but she's not on the mortality schedule)...there is a marriage record for Sarah and Frank in JEFFERSON CO. TN for 1865...however I believe that Sarah got "left" soon after cause she appears in her mother's hh in 1870 under the name Mclanahan (ditto for 1880) and Frank is nowhere to be found in 1860 in the vicinity of where he said he got married, etc. He also stated he'd married a 2nd time to an Elizabeth Medlock (no relation) in NC and that this Elizabeth had died in 1884...but she appears on the 1900 census with him and most of their children in Gaston County, NC. Frank claimed to have been a prisoner at Castle Thunder during the war, until it was liberated by the Union. His pension app was rejected by the government because they couldn't find him on the rosters...it may be because he had put down the wrong unit as I had found a Francis M. Medlock on a roster for 3 Tenn. Mtd. Inf. Company A and he'd put down Co.B of the 2nd TN Calvary (he reapplied about 12 years later in 1923 claiming he'd been inducted into an Indiana unit which apparently didn't exist according to the government). The big clue is he claimed to have grown up in Grainger and Campbell Counties. Sorry this is so long but I wanted to make sure I put in the information that might help find more clues.
