Catherine: This one is somewhat easy compared to other Blalock information. Millington of Drew Co. Arkansas is listed in a note in the Granville Co.,NC Records, but he is associated with Millington Blalock, Jr. of Granville Co.
Millington Blalock Jr., son of Millington Blalock Sr. (the Person Co., NC Millington Blalock) married Rebecca Philpott of Granville Co., NC on August 9, 1797. Millington Jr. was born 12/18/1773. Millington Blalock Jr.'s second son, William H. Blalock was born 11/23/1801. According to other researchers he married Lucy Haliburton. The Halliburtons were in eastern Person Co. near the Granville Co. border for many years and some or all of them moved to TN (They intermarried with several other families in this area who moved to TN).
Millington Jr. died in Granville Co., NC October 9, 1837. His will is in Granville Co. He names William H., son, from TN as deceased in his will of 1837 and names William's infant (means they were not of age not necessarily infants)children "who live in TN" :Robert, William, Millington and Etna Blalock. He wanted shares of his estate to be alloted to these children of William.
Millington Jr.'s wife Rebecca Philpott Blalock died October 17, 1851.In 1859 there is a note in the Granville Co. records that Millington Blalock of Drew Co. Arkansas appointed a John Womack of Granville Co. to act as his attorney to collect money and all due him from the estate of Rebecca Blalock. Rebecca was the daughter of William Philpott of Granville Co. and she had a brother Thomas Philpott of Granville Co. I did not see a note concerning the other three Robert, William and Etna (Edna).
Millington Jr. names other children in his will: Sarah Blalock who married Woodson Washington and lived in Granville Co.; Emily Blalock called Milley who married Edward Boswell and lived in TN, Thomas Blalock who married Rowanne Sherman and lived and died in Granville Co.; John P. Blalock who marriedElizabeth Boswell in Granville Co. and moved to TN and then on to perhaps Oregon; Nancy Blalock born 4/4/1817 who married Joseph Dennis Hobgood and lived in Granville Co. and died January i7, 1910!; and Lucretia (Luetta) Blalock who married James Boswell and second Thomas Latta and died in Granville Co.
Other researchers have Millington Jr. with sons named Alexander born 1813 and Robert born 1800 but Millington Jr. does not mention them in his will so they must have died young.Millington Jr. was a benevolent individual, because he had an older sister, Martha "Milley Blalock" who had married the older William Philpott- his second wife and he had several children by his first wife, and Millington Jr. stated Martha was deceased and she had the one child Milley Philpott and Mill. Jr. left his niece a portion of his estate because his sister was dead. Rebecca's brother was her guardian.
