The original Blagg family in the United States appears to stem from the group that settled in Doe Hill, Virginia.If your group came from that group, they probably fought on the side of the Confederate army during the Civil War.Many of those soldiers left the deep south after the war and regrouped in Texas and Mexico with the idea the war would start up again.It didn't so they settled there and stayed to become cattle ranchers.
I have a group in my database that was in Texas around that period.They appear to have moved from location to location in large family groups so maybe your Blagg is related to this group and you can work your research sideways and then down.
If you go to my website, http://www.freeyellow.com/members5/tintype/index.htmlhttp://www.freeyellow.com/members5/tintype/index.html you will see more about the Blagg family earlier on.I am adding a bunch of new stuff as time allows.I have links to a census index but haven't checked lately to see if they still work.One of my primary back-up sites closed down and didn't tell me so am not sure it is still there.
