William Niblack immigrated to Pennsylvania in the 1700's and migrated down to Rowan County, North Carolina. His tombstone says he was born in Clackmannan.
He raised a large family and most of them moved down to Kentucky and on to Florida. However, one relative did not.
Her name was Rhoda Niblick (she did not spell it the same way) and she moved across the river to Abbeville, South Carolina where she married James Craig. We know she was not William's daughter because she and James had a son named John who married Elizabeth Andrews, the daughter of Martha Niblock who WAS William's daughter.
In an old letter, a granddaughter stated that Martha and Rhoda were cousins.
Some researchers believe she was the daughter of William's son George. However, a little arithmetic with her children's ages proves she was too old to be his daughter - more likely his cousin. Some believe she was the daughter of a brother of William's - possibly named George - who also came from Clackmannan.
Has anybody ever found a Niblack/Niblock/Niblick in the 1700's or before that in Clackmannanshire?
Many, many people would love the answer to this. Since I am afraid to fly, I can never go there myself. I have heard stories of people traveling there and finding the name in phone books. Of course these people never wrote the names down or tried to contact the people.

Unfortunately, I do not have the information you were looking for, but I know a family of Niblocks, in Salisbury, Rowan, County, NC, that would be interested in knowing if there is a connection.
The only reason I came across this is because I am one of the Rock Hill Craigs, and may be kin to the Niblock/Craig family you mentioned.
An aunt told me that she went to a cemetery near Cleveland, NC. Don't know the church's name, but it is something to do with Third Creek.
She says all the information is listed upon one stone. She mentioned a William, George and Levi Niblock. This particular stone does not mention where William was born in Scotland.
If there is a connection, maybe we can help you find the information you are seeking. Best regards, Christine Craig

Just a little aside, while I think about your question.
There is an ancient Scottish Golf Club called a "Niblick".

Thank you for the kind welcome. Haven't been back here in while. I'll try to ask around more for about Rhoda. Too bad you weren't looking for Craigs, as I have our family book.
BTW---I know that names sometimes had to do with someone's profession, or such. Craig came from Crag, etc...Do you know what Niblock/Niblick means? Christine
