Do you know of Whitlock ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Whitlock. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Whitlock.<1>

Our sources for Whitlock (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Whitlock other than they indicate that Whitlock would be found somewhere in Halifax County, Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1855 and closed  in 1903.
