George Medlock
was christened on June 8th 1701 St Peter’s Parish
New Kent County. George is the son of John Jr. George married
Hannah maiden name unknown, there is the possibility that
Hannah
is the daughter of Edward Trotman. It is unknown when
George or
Hannah died. The spelling of the Surname is found as
both Medlock
and Matlock. For our purposes the name will be
spelled as found in
the referenced record.
1733 March 1 I John Matlock Senr. of Hanover Co., planter, for Love
and
Goodwill I bear
to my loving Son
George Matlock;
freely give 120
a. in Hanover
Co. at a corner
maple at the
mouth of a swamp
called
Charles Swamp...up the swamp...on Tusocky branch down branch to
Taylors Creek John Matlock Senr.
Wit: Natl. Williams, John Williams,
Jno. Wingfield
(12: P. 32)
On March 1733
George Matlock deeded to John Matlock Jr 100 acres on
Taylor’s
Creek and Charles Swamp (William and Mary Quarterly pg 50)
George sold this land for 10 pounds “being part of 400 a
granted to
Edward Trotman late of Hanover, dec'd by
patent. Signed, George
Matlock witness Nat Williams, Richard
Henderson & John Williams.”
Three months
later and on June 20 1733 John Matlock (now considered
Sr.) deeded his son George 120 acres in Hanover County. This land
was
at the mouth of a swamp called Charles Swamp...up the
swamp...on
Tusocky branch down branch to Taylors Creek.
A little over a
year later and on July 5th 1734 George Matlock a planter
of
Hanover County deeded again to John Matlock Jr. also of
Hanover County
100 acres on a branch of Taylor’s Creek called
Charles’s Swamp; part of
400 a. granted to Edward Trotman late
of Hanover Co., dec’d, by patent.
Signed George (G) Matlock
Wit: John Wade, John Dabney Hannah the wife of
sd. George
relinquished her right of dower. (Hanover County, VA Court
Records 1733 – 1735” pg 109)
The next mention
of George Matlock was on Aug 20th 1747. Thomas Denton
bought
51 acres for 5 shillings described as “on the S side the
South,
on the River Bank; adj. Colo. David Meriweather, John
Glen, Robert
Clapton & George Matlock”. (Cavaliers & Pioneers
by Hudgins ; Vol. 5
pg 312; Patent Bk ??, page 123)
There are
several deeds and information from Louisa County Virginia,
dating from 1767 to 1826 where George Medlock/Matlock is
mentioned,
but there is no way at this time to know where
George Medlock Sr.
begins and ends. While it may be difficult
to identify the record
where George Medlock (Sr.) died and
records for his son George begin,
it can be assumed that
George Medlock (Sr.) died before 1800 and
probably by 1780 if
not earlier. Currently it is believed that it was
George (Jr.)
who died in Louisa Co VA in 1800, based on the Chancery
suit
that identifies his siblings.
CHILDREN
of George and Hannah:
1 GEORGE MEDLOCK JR.
George appears to have never married based on all
available
records. George died intestate in 1800 and the administrator
of his estate was John Dickson Administration on George's
intestate
estate can be found in Louisa Co WB 4 p 133, 149-151
and WB 5 p 90 & 91
Records found for a George Matlock Sr
or Jr:
