having been born in 1827, a son of Isaac and Sarah (Ruckman) 
Carlock, natives of South Carolina, Mr. Carlock being of German 
descent; they came with their parents to Middle Tennessee, where 
they married, removing from East Tennessee to Dade County about 
1839, where Mr. Carlock died just before, and Mrs. Carlock
