I suspect the gravemarker for E. L. BLAYLOCK at Mt. Pleasant-Jerusalem cemetery is for the George BLAYLOCK who is listed with Margaret in the 1880 census. Perhaps his name was Elijah L. BLAYLOCK and his nickname was George? Anyway, Margaret's maiden name was SUMNER. The second wife was Nancy A. WOLF. Her first marriage was to G. J. AKIN, and they had two children: Samuel Elmus "Elmus" AKIN, b. 3 May 1885, and Grace AKIN, born Apr 1887. The surname AKIN had several spelling variations. John Parker BLAYLOCK, b. 21 May 1875, d. 23 Nov 1948, was one of the four children of Elijah L. "George" BLAYLOCK and his first wife Margaret SUMNER. http://www.tomshawcross.blogspot.com http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=shawcross&id=I53 ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <ILJACKSO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 29, 2006 2:26 PM Subject: [ILJACKSO] BLAYLOCK, Elijah L. b. 1849 AR d. 1927 Jac.
