Surnames: Blalock Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3R.2ADE/1773.2.1 Message Board Post: Yes, I see that Robert Edward or Edward Robert went by both names. I've found that he's the son of William M Blalock and Lucretia Jane Wadsworth and born in Coffee CO, AL. William M Blalock is the brother of my direct ancestor, my ggg-grandfather Charles S Blalock, who died in the Civil War. Your Robert Edward has a WW1 draft card on record here at this site. Robert ended up in Geneva CO after 1910 and lived near his brother Willam B and his other Blalock cousins. All our Blalocks originated in NC, likely Cumberland CO, and began in Henry CO AL. William M Blalock was married twice, both marriages in Henry CO, AL: first to Elizabeth Pitts--2 children--John Wesley Blalock and Nancy Malinda Blalock. Second marriage was to Lucretia Jane Wadsworth and they had William Benjamin Blalock in 1868, Robert E, Ora E, and Rosa. William married Nannie Dozier, Rosa married JC Davis and I don't know what became of Ora E Blalock. That's pretty much all I have on your Blalock connection..hope it helps. Good luck :)
