Blocker b ca 1793 perhaps in Colleton Dist. SC., was not old enough to be reported as head of the household in the 1820 Census. He drew land lottery in GA in 1828. The 1830 census lists him in Gwinnett Co., GA (NE of Atlanta) and in Cobb Co., Marietta area in 1840. I believe the boundary changed...he had not moved. Redin m ___________ Harris ca 1826 and had 3 children: Asberry Blocker who later resided in Coosa Co., AL., Elizabeth H. Blocker b ca 1826 m Little Daniel Cantrell of AL., abt 1844.; and Emaline Cantrell b abt 1830 m Wm. Cantrell of AL. Redin's first wife died and he married a second wife Margaret Harris (possibly the sister of his 1st wife?) b ca 1815 in GA. According to the 1850 Marion Co., AL census the children are listed: Lucinda b ca 1835 in GA; Susan b ca 1837 in GA; Jacob F.M. b ca 1841 in AL; Sara Ann b ca 1843 in AL; Martha E. b ca 1846 in AL; and Isaac T. b ca 1848 in AL. There is a listing of Mary m C.A. Davis of AR.;Lucinda m L. Arnold of AR.; Susan m T.J. Tollison of AR.; J.M. m Lourana Lightsey of AR.; Sarah A m O.C. Tollison of AR.; Martha m S.W. Tollison of AR.; J.C. of Mt. Vernon, TX.; Altazra m W.D. Davis of Saltillo, TX. Isaac. Redin BLocker & Margaret moved from Marion Co., AL to Pike Co., AR in 1859 and into Montgomery CO., AR in 1861, where he died in 1869. Margaret died that same year. My connection is Elizabeth H. Blocker 1st daughter of Redin Blocker and _____ Harris. Does anyone have any other or more info on this line?? Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!
